New Skin
« on: March 04, 2007, 01:25:00 PM »

Okay. I have seen all this nice skins and the way their going. I've had this idea for some time
now. Im hoping to create a different skin wich sets it self apart from the rest. Not meaning that
its better but just different smile.gif

I'm gonna try doing the nice cover flow feture and working the xbmc skinning engine to its max smile.gif

But since i made the Xperience skin all by my self i know have much work it is. So it would be
very nice if somone in here would team up with me to make this skin a reality.

So for now here are some Photoshop mockups. I prolly gonne do a very limitied test skin
with just the homescreen and music coverflow available to give you guys more the feel and idea of this skin.

That's definitly different.  I'm not sure what to think about it.  Let me stare at it a bit longer.

I really like the colors, looks very original and unique.  And that font goes along perfectly with the feel of the skin.

Hey I love the skin so far.  If you would like some assistance I would love to help out.  I have been wanting to help with a skin for a while.  I don't know if I could help with the graphics or not.  But I can help with coding if that is what you are looking for.

Thanks for the feedback guys !

Btw if colors are a problem this skin would be easy to create some different color mods.

Leglez: Yupp i need xml help. So if you realy wanna help with xml thats great.

Also for the icons... Like the black icon (headset) on the home screen. I need many more
black icons, in the same slick style smile.gif So if there are any talented icon creators who would like to help out
i would be trilled.

Thanks for the feedback yet again all you guys !

in terms of coding, from what i can tell from you screens, i sort of created the code for the view you have for music albums.  i actually did it for videos (movie posters), but ditched the idea since it didn't look right in my skin.  thought about adding it to xTV, but haven't had the chance.  you can always hit me up later when you reach that point for that code.  it might be finetuned by then.

other than that, looks great!

Hey manutrafs ! It would be cool if i could have a look at your xml code
for the "coverflow". As im not sure myself if a genuine coverflow is possible
with the 2.0 skin engine. Anyway maybe we could come atleast close smile.gif

Just drop me your xml at kurtkork@#SPAM#gmail.com

you can definitely do it.  i have the video (movie poster done), but it's not full screen and it only looks good if you have movie posters.  i'll send it later once i take a look at it again.  you just need to put it in your commonviewtypes.xml (assuming you have one) or whereever you keep your views.
