edwinmcdunlap, what version are you running. I saw your screenshots over on one of the skin sites and I wanted to contact you about it. You had the green Mediacenter logo going. Is that custom? I have the latest version of XBMC. Tell me where I can get the latest version of the skin and tell me what version of XBMC to use with it. I love this skin.

Very Soon lol. Thanks for liking it. The new version is looking better and it will be release in a week or so.

The reason i am holding on to it is all the changes that XBMC has entered into their code.

Thanks Hades_666. Looking foward to the new release. Right now I hate using my xbox these days becase it does not have this skin on it. I uses it strictly for movies and would like to see the my videos section get rid of the side menu by making it a submenu so that the entire screen would have nothing but dvd cover art. I have always thought the side menus took up too much screen space with those huge buttons in PM III. Maybe something you can work on in the future?
See this thread: http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=526436

You can forget mentioned above about a full screen of cover art if its too much trouble. What I would like to know is how can I get the MediaCenter Logo on the start/home page. I hae edited a png file in the media directory to include this image. Where do I have to call this image "backgroud3.png" ?

Hey Hades_666,

As an aside, any plans on updating the BlueTwo to v2.0? My wife really like 'the little guys', and isn't interested in any other skin. Any news would be very much appreciated!

fredmon, add an image control to the bottom of the controls section of home.xml for your resolution (pal for 4:3, pal16x9 for 16:9).

generally skin engine is locked, so really no big point in waiting for 2.0. okey there might be some minor adjustments, but they should be very minor.

I've just tried the version you have on xbox-skins.net and have to say it's looks nice.

If anyone else wants to check it out just change the settings.xml for this one that I edited to get working with the latest T3CH build -

edwinmcdunlap,
what release of MCE 2005 are you running in the screenshot? IT does not look like the one hades posted. I see almost an exact clone onf the ream MCE in your screenhots.

timo1023 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 11, 2006, 07:32:00 PM »

I will definately use this skin as my default if it lives up to my expectations. This skin makes the Xbox look like an actual media center, without gaming as the main focus.

OK guys, Palmtree has done some major work with it and ill complete it this week or early next week. That for the votes of confidence that you enjoy it.

As for Blue Two. I update that one as well in due time. who would have though config mgmt would be such a time consuming job.
