who doesnt?



very nice neverwill.  i like it alot.  


light shine video... there are a couple problems that will make this almost impossible.   Or it just wont look right.

1. the round icons will mean you need to use an overlay to cover the corners.  this would be on top of the video and stand out like a sore thumb .    You could try to do an alpha fade on the overlays to still allow them and still get the video in.. but it would be tough.

2. the middle icons are so close to the text that part of the text will have to be of the overlay

Sweet design!

WIP lets you define circular images.

Try particleillusion for particle effects, and adobe after effects for text glows and stuff.

I just meant in general, there does not seem to be anyone skinning for MXM much anymore... I know people are busy with REAL life and all but, still would be nice to see some people popping up some new concepts at least, if they do not have time to skin themselves.... Just a thought...

Heres an update--Ill be gone for the weekend, so I wont be able to work on it much--

user posted image

I will be changing the menu text as it stretches too much, might change the soundtrack text too for the same reason (but I really like how the soundtrack part looks).

I would recommend showing more items in the menu, by removing the spaces between the items (showdescr?)

hey man

just a suggestion, seein the vids and icons are on both sides, i think itd look awesome if it was mirror, like on one side it was normal, then on the other it was reversed.

just to make it symetricall/cool

Yeah, I will be looking into that.

EcL|PsE- Ill give that a shot, but as of right now I have no idea how to do that.

I really want to slap some animations in here too, but I cant get my hands on particleillusion (only the trial version), and for some reason adobe after effects wont install properly ( my computer has been acting wierd lately, might be time to clear the whole drive and re-format).

Haven't really done anything to this skin in a few days, I will resume work on it this week probably but I have to study and stuff  tongue.gif , University finals are this week.

On a personal note- Got a dvd burner today!!! Not that anyone would care, but it made me happy.
