Here is why the work on xTV suddenly slowed down. The skin has some features never used in a skin before like having a skin settable startup playlist and you can change some of the image and font colors with a simple skin option. Basically everything in the skin that is orange by default can be changed, I have about six color presets and you can add your own. Also has custom backgrounds and animations. I have also made all the images for the controls in the home window the same size and have the same position on screen so theme makers can basically make them what ever they want, no need to stick with the circle design.

I would like to thank mbesik for doing all the GFX, Donno for the color changing script, and Jezz_X for helping me figure out a few bugs that were driving me crazy.

Containment can be found in the XBMC Skinning Project SVN. Just use the following url in you SVN client:
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xboxmed...ter/Containment

A prebuilt version can also be found here:

I hope you enjoy

Looks good and very promising, but I can't get it to run on my xbox. When I switch over from any skin including PMIII it just goes back to PMIII with Containment's navigation sounds. I'm running it in 720p on a chipped box if it helps at all.

Yeah sorry I forgot to add a > in one of the controls in the home.xml for widescreen. I also forgot to do the fonts for 720p and 1080i as well. What can I say I am a big dummyface.

Everything should work now, it is fixed in the svn and the build in my 4shared account is updatd as well.

It really is a nice simple skin that works well and looks great.

P.S. for anyone checking I stole the idea for the startup Playlist for PM3 from this he didn't take it from me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
so props too chi3f sorry I forgot to mention it in the changelog

OOOHHHH!!! VERY VERY NICE!!! I think I found a new favorite... for now atleast. Awesome!

Sorry for the double post, my edit time ran out.

When trying the Apple theme, looks great but cant read anything on the skin that isnt highlighted. Tried changing font color and only the highlighted color changes, so I tried texture color to see what would happen and nothing.

Is this a bug, or am I not doing something right?

And is there a way to add Big Wide Icons? It has Wide Icon but not the BIG wide icons.

Dude!! Amazing skin. Very stylish, and love the animations involved. Way to go CHI3f! Another great one. Would love to have your skin design ideas and skills as they are very fresh and innovative.

Keep up the amazing work!!

Wow. Another great skin.

I found one bug though. When you disable the background it makes viewing movie information difficult isnce it doesn't show a black background behind the movie information but instead is transparent and shows the icons behind it.

You have to do this also:
Go to settings>skin>Texture color>Choose Apple Theme
Go to settings>skin>Font color>Choose Apple Theme

The 300 theme is

great work CHI3f
