I dont know if this is interesting to anyone but I thought it was neat. This guy skinned the MCE interface. I'm curious if this would work on the 360?

I have made several custom skins for MCE 2005 but do not want to distribute these files
if they contain anything other than Visual and audio effects.

I am pretty slick with graphics but not coding, and there are alot of XML files
in this dll file.

I have only modified .PNG files and .WAV files inside of ehres.dll.

The last thing I want is someone to use this file and end up with links to things they do not have installed, or references to specific things on my MCE PC.

I added the new files to the dll with
Resource Tuner

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Actually , If you use this program u can change a lot of features in MCE. I was able to do mine and when I start media center on the xbox everything is changed there too. good for people who are tired of the blue background and want to personalize it a bit .

Thanks a lot. I will check that program out.

Well unless it changes the blades too then i dont really see the point. You can easily change your background on the xbox to whatever you want by plugging in a USB stick with pics on it or stream pics from your pc and set them as the background.

Well it works great on the computer side but I haven't tried it on the xbox yet. I will post when I do.

Oops I forgot to confirm. Yes it works on the 360 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jester.gif)

So what does this allow you to do for the 360? Would you need Media Center to do it?

Ther are 2 programs to theme MCE

I wrote MyThemesMCE, if you like features then this is for you: The first post is about me, but its a very old post from last year.

Then ther is MCE Dev's MCE Themes.

If I use one of these programs
Is there a quick and simple way of restoring the default MCE skin??

Blizo · « **Reply #14 on:** April 08, 2006, 07:07:00 AM »

both do.

MyThemes has a hotkey to do it at anytime. Plus the uninstaller will remove any modifications.
