i didn't forget about you guys. working hard on the skin to get some screenshots out. hopefully i'll get some images soon too and you'll see where this is heading.

i know it's been slow but it's been crazy times and parts of this skin have been extremely difficult. however i finally got some graphics together and certain sections are pretty much done. however to give you an idea of the work in progress and what's been so far, I thought I'd throw up some screenshots. now most of the graphics are thanks to gasclown and he's done a great job.

keep in mind this is a work in progress and some of xbmc's coding limited me a bit, but it's still decent. hope you guys enjoy and i'll keep working on it.

A little off topic here, but:

QUOTE

That looks really nice. Too bad wiimotes arent compatible with xbox

There is no reason that you couldn't build an Xiimote... the technology, while seemingly complex could be handled by making a homemade lightbar(Already done for the wii) and using a mouse and some IR sensors to get the mouse x/y coordinates. Go cordless on thsi design and a Xiimote seems pretty simple. Probaly need a PIC controller somewhere in the mix, but thats not too difficult... Mice circuitry is small, so fabing a wii styled remote to encompass the whole thing is simple. Wire in some buttons operationg on standard ascii keyboard settings and you gould get a working Dpad, select, back, accept... etc... all totally compatible with XBMC... then replace the cursor icon with the wiihand thingy and BAM.... you might as well have a Wii.

Now back to the topic, this skin seems pretty cool. Emulation is after all, the highest form of flattery.... might as well flatterthe wii I guess.

hows it goin manturafs any updates or screenshot

gj on this one

Rotfloljfk · « **Reply #42 on:** March 17, 2007, 07:04:00 PM »

it would be cool if there was an integrated web browser in the skin like the real wii's internet browser because linksboks sucks

manturafs · « **Reply #43 on:** March 17, 2007, 11:12:00 PM »

no new screenshots. the work so far has been just making this look consistent in my pictures etc. i guess the next screenshot that would be different would be the osd which i haven't even thought about yet. just working on getting the regular views all right first.

and an integrated browser? prolly not. this is just a skin, but it wouldn't be hard to add a link to linksbox (i know i know, you said you don't like it) or some other homebrew browser, but i don't really know of anything else.
