if your tv can't show the difference between a green 'ball' with an a in it and a blue ball with no 'a' in it i suggest you throw it away.. Wink

(sorry, couldn't resist)

the only suggestion i'd have is that having the rss feed inside the orb may make it difficult to read since the ares is so small in length... you may want to move the feed to th ebottom of the screen where you can scroll it the full length.

I'm not an expert but I play one at work.

Smile hahaha, is there anybody outthere who doesn't know angus? (just kidding)
i used those animations because they were the first avi files i found or i have at home, i'm still looking for something to use for myfiles and mypictures.(helps are appreciated)
for settings i'd like to use the original ms startup animation, what do you think??
the rss feed is not that much shorter then the project mayhem one.
does anybody think it's too bright?? on my tv the home page is fine but the other sections with almost the same background become almost unreadable.
p.s. i'm really happy that gif images don't take so much resouces now, you've got to see them! Smile

hi kotix - looks really promissing - just one smal tip: dont over-do the bewel on the xbmc logo - i`d try either none or a slight pillow emboss Wink

oh and btw - your idea with the covers works out much better in your own skin - well done
