Aw man, now my hopes are up again! When I hear soon I think days-week. I hope I haven't learned a lesson about soon and this project. Does this mean that xbmc 2.1 point release will be out soon too? I would really like to see this shipped with the T3CH build, but I did just sign up for the XDK so I can do my own compiling.

Keeping my fingers crossed that MS will accept me!

I also can't wait to get updates of this skin through the xbmc skin project SVN.
Thanks BlackBolt and of course Jezz_X. *tip hat*

Dear mr. blackbolt, I would love to contribute to making mc360 better. I am going to work on making mc360 randomly choose a different theme upon cold boot or in game reset. (warm boot also) I have a almost 13 years computer expierience and have programmed a little. I will start on it and see what I can come up with. I will post later on and let you know what I have brain stormed.

Also should I wait for the 1.0 release and base my options from there or start on the 099 release ? Thanks.

Couldn't that be done with a script that changes that line in the guisettings.xml. You could name it autoexec.py so it executes everytime XBMC is started.

Just a thought

Is this release going to include XBMC Live?

Thanks for your hard work - great skin - looking forward to Ex.

Yes actually I was leaning more towards guisettings.xml I was looking at 3/4 of the way down under look and feel. Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also I suppose this feature would be based on the xbmc itself and not the skin. I might have to post on the actual xbmc formus to finish this task.

Also mr. blackbolt when you said it was a core feature of xbmc itself, could you provide a little more info on this. When you get a chance. Thank you sir.
I'm pulling my hair out I don't know much about python programming ! ! !

I think he meant it could be coded into the settings of xbmc so you could set a skin to have random themes, but that is not an option. I will also do a bit of snooping around to see what I can come up with. I am gar from a python guru, but as far as scripts go it shouldn't be that complicated.

couldn't the script be made to look in the media folder and find any xpr's and just choose them at random?

Excellent work on this skin - absolutely amazing - leaps and bounds above anything imagined back when this project was first described/announced. I use this skin in all the rooms of my house besides the theater where I enjoy the more formal, classic, and HTPC-appearing PM III skin.

Keep up the great work!

I wish I hadn't sold my xbox. I really miss the XBMC... and now this skin comes out

. Microsoft Media Center is crap beside this. Good work, Blackbolt!

if it is in HD then wouldnt that make it run alot slower due to the lack of Xbox Memory?

Nah, this was a big concern, but we have it running fantastically in HD. Alot of care and effort has been made to make the app run nice and sexy. I am using it in 720p everyday, I love it, still today I find myself just browsing throught the menus adoring our creation. while secreting telling myself its just to test it!

I really like what we have done and it runs superbly in HD and SD.

HD 4:3 on the other hand is something I cannot test, I am not sure of the situation, I will have to speak to Jezz_X about it, or maybe he can ever comment here what the issue is with that.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
