Hey Quick question... Why are there so few MXM Skins that actual use a scrolling menu selection focus bar.... One thing I really like about Power of X (skin) is that the focus selector scrolls then the menu starts... so there is always selections in the window... would look very nice in LivewireV2... but I'm not very good at making skins all mine have sucked... trust me I have tried...

Not exactly sure what you mean by that, I'll have to download that skin and take a look.

this next one is sweet.   and if you dont have media set for your apps/game/emulator thumbnail image... your about to get a default one.

has a nice little video screensaver too... forgot i even made it

give JLM time to work up the fonts and the color/code and it will be posted.

not sure under what name yet.

Someone kiss BJ for me... it couldnt have been done as nice if not for the DDS.... of which I will make a short tutorial for the rest of you that are bangining your heads on it.

Ok I'm back... JLM I'm talking about the Green Highlight in the selection menu... some skins well most leave the selection field stable usually at the top like your skins... did you ever think about having it scroll instead of staying fixed... I know thats probably Harder but your skins are too nice to not give it a shot... try out Power of X... it's very nice just missing system info... so I can't use it...

Koldfuzion and I are releasing a V2 version of LiveWire which In my opinion is a real enhancement. It still holds the same features of LiveWire v1 but, features looping video int he back and a few other visual enhancements.

LiveWire V2 Screenie  tongue.gif  Download Here

Damn good!

the only thing i hate about it is the lettertype, it somehow doesn't show as good on the preview pic as on my tv. It looks kinda blurry, hard to read. I had this problem with the other LiveWire skins.

Besides that, i love the thingy you guys did with the thumbnails, it looks like it's behind some sort of glass!! very pro!!

Still needs a little tweaking.   The font should be readable enough. (btw.. you can always choose fonts from other skins.  just rename them to the one in the skins font folder.)

JLM promised a screenshot.. so here it is.

Here is a little bit older one ...

There is a video in the thumb that works out great for game icons with transparent images, or for categories with no image specified.  Most of you have probably seend the video before.  It looks great underneath the overlay. No more blank circles.
