It's up, at mxm.anotheruselesswebsite.com , it's just missing a few files for now, which will be corrected on Monday

And I for one would love to have a nice Lain skin for mxm.

A dark moody hellsing skin would rock.  I've been wanting to do a few anime inspired MXM skins (like Kiddy Grade or something), I just havn't got around too it yet, cursed lazyness.  Anyway, can't wait to see the Hellsing skin.

The text looks out of place.  But, the video in the barrel is a great idea.

Do you mean the font or the positioning?

The positioning looks weird.

Is the title "xbox games" static or part of the menu.  If its static, I say you just round it.  Looks good.  Can you throw up a working vid?  Ill host it for a little bit.

Try to find a font that looks closer to the one actually used in hellsing, and the game name running down the side of the barrel would be sweet looking, although the proper perspective is impossible.

This has me interested... I have been thinking about how cool a nice colourful comic skin would be, this isn't colourful but it's very cool anyway.

I agree that text doesn't look too good, don't know where you could put it though

I'd be all over a Hellsing skin...and I'm just barely a fan.  For a cool background or intro video I saw an AFI video that was all Hellsing.  The song is Halloween.  I've got that booger at home.  good stuff.................

The version I watching were fansubs and they all had different fonts, apart from that the fonts in credits which were all japanese...
Ok heres some update shots... (I went with jizzlobber and went a bit more colourful...)

The font is a modified form of garamond, I cant quite find the exact match, but garamond looks damn close side by side, just some small differences, but use garamond for now anyway.

I love it dude?

just a thought though, if those borders are bow in it might be an idea to throw all the into up the top/bottow!?
is it possible to scroll horizontally?

That's a cool idea, but it leaves too much unused space. For people with smaller tv's the videos wouldn't look as great. But awesome idea.
BTW: I'm like 20% done with the hellsing skin
80% done with the lain skin. It's useable right now, but I'm changing the fonts to the Lain fonts and I need something for a screensaver. I'll get some pics up asap.

You didnt have any problem with the burn in?
Judging by your post time you prolly have the later one I uploaded which I darkened and toned down the contrast. It helped a lot but its still there...
It could be just my TV tho, it is quite cheap ass.
I know what you mean about wasted space, I was thinking of putting some info text in the black areas, just havent gotten around to it due to this exasperating problem.
