[WIP] Metro UI Media Center

---edit:
Separation items in list by first letter could be done by dedicated plugin

nothing is impossible

I always game for anything, especially the pausebar one. I've been wanting that effect forever, tried to replicate it using substring() tricks but no luck...

Also "Separation items in list by first letter" seems cool also...

Pretty much if you can think of something, odds are one of us will use it...

Concept 2 preview:



Comparison:

I prefer the pink one but your not going to be able to bold the first letter of every word within the skin. The best you can maybe do is add a bold | inbetween
But on the other hand the blue one lloks like it would use a font more friendly to non english languages

Wouldn't it be possible to make the words as two separate entities with the first letter its own, or would that still not work?

Definitely prefer the pink one. I just got my Trophy 7 so this skin will tie in perfectly to my phone . Looking beautiful so far.

Some progress:

heh when I said I liked the pink one I meant the layout and font not the color

Why deviating from the Metro UI look in concept 2? Isn't the point of this skin to follow the Metro UI look as closely as possible?

Surprisingly I am not (well sort of)! In short, there were a lot of concept shots released when WP7 was announced and I am now trying to incorporate some of those ideas into the design.

Music - Album:

But wouldn't it make more sense to aim for the final design at this stage and do alternate designs later? I personally really like the final design of the Metro UI and this is taking it in another direction. Just my 2 cents.
