[WIP] [Simplicity] Sinvida MOD

Sinvida · 2011-02-16 22:21

Lately I've been getting into some modding on XBMC skins, which although no programming experience at all, is a lot of fun for me. It gives me the option to adjust skins to my personal preferences.

The last few months Cirrus has been my default skin, because it is very fast, slick and functional on my Asrock ION. Then I came across Simplicity which pointed me towards some nice-to-haves, like the tv-guide and some great views. This skin was also very smooth on my Asrock.

So I decided to see if I could mix my preferences in one mashup skin, with simplicity being the base code (although there already are quite a few differences). I still have a lot of tweaking to do, before i can put up I download. Nevertheless I wanted to share some screenshots to see if some other people would warm up for this skin. Suggestions ofcourse are very welcome!

Credits and thanks for this mod of course go to:

Igotdvds - Simplicity XBMC skin
Crookas - Cirrus XBMC skin
Arcanthur - Fusion XBMC skin
Omardude - Background image
And ofcourse everyone else contributing to the XBMC community with scripting and skinning!

I have put a beta download up for testing purposes:
download!

Let's start with a screenshot from the homescreen (more will follow):

This is how I started. Smile

Keep working and you'll be doing em from scratch in no time. In fact, I like your work, reach out to me, maybe we can collaborate.

really like the osd's. With that addition it makes simplicity the perfect skin for me.
