it would be nice if you had a movies view similar to your album views where all you see is the box art and no text and have the covers fill the screen.

Dude. I love this skin so much. I'll be waiting till it's finished to change from PM3. And I like the blue background even better.

and just how would you suggest we Flip it in real time ?

Reflection is possible by using negative numbers.

Won't be after the new revision is out. It will be done a different way. Check out the loginscreen.xml for the blackbolt classic to see how it is done

Is there an ETA on the first beta?

I'll ask Abe87 when he wants to throw out the first beta..

we now have most of the mains screens done, worked in different types of views, put in some extras, we'll just be a little more patient. it does look nice already, that much i can say ;-)

I'll ask Abe87 to post here, then you'll know more

I'm glad to see that there is some interest in this skin.

We are making some good progress. I would say that we are about half way there. I can't really give you a time frame for a beta. But, this skin has made a lot of progress in just 2 short weeks.

We will try to keep everyone informed with the progress of the skin.

[ibemonty2000]

Cool. Thanks Abe, we'll be waiting.

Looks really nice, I like it. You wont be able to do the diffuse, yet, on the end icons if you do custom wallpapers though .

[Abe87]

Actually, I think we could do the effect with an overlay. But, that isn't the way it's in the skin at the moment. I might try to added it later. Right now I'm trying to finish up the remaining screens and dialogs.

Stay tuned. Next week we will post some screenshots and give some info about the skin. Hopefully we will be able to give a better time frame for the beta.

progress? pics?

[Abe87]

Alright, time for an update.

First off the skin now has a name. It's called Slate.

This skin is being brought to you by Team af.

This skin has only been in the works for about 2 1/2 weeks. In this time we have made a lot of progress. We still have a long way to go before it could be considered a complete skin. Is that even possible a complete skin?

There are a few things that we have tried to do with this skin. We have tried to use as much of the available screen as possible for content. We have also added a lot of skin settings. Right now we have 18 skin settings. And this doesn't include the bookmarks.

I guess you want to see some screenshots. Well here you go!

This is just a taste of what is to come with this skin. We have added some different view types that I think some of you will find useful.

We are looking to have a beta ready in about a week. Please don't hold us to an exact date. Because this is just a hobby to us and we might have more pressing real life matters that could slow down progress.

fluidman should be along at any time with another update.

looks good.
