I just put this together this morning. I know that it isn't as good as neverwill's skins he has created recently, but I figured that someone might like it.

The metroid, samus, morph ball and missle pictures are all from screenshots I took with ZsnesBox. The only pre existing image i used was the background image, but I probably will replace it with something original later.

Nice skin, but it's ZsneXbox

Looking good. The font used in the super metroid logo (and all of them after that I believe) is called 'serpentine', if you google it you can find sites to download the font for free, if you're interested.

lol, yeah I even made sure to double check how it was spelled and I still got it wrong.

Sweet. I ended up copy and pasting a .jpg picture of samples of some font called Flower SB-Bold Italic. I'll take a look for that font, and if its it or close to it then it will be easy to just re-type ZsnexBox.

I updated the logo to have the correct spelling, colors and font to actually match the Super Metroid logo. I also changed the font and colors for the buttons text.

Thanks to neverwill to pointing out the Serpentine font

I like the pixelated look of samus in that skin, it contrasts well with the sharp dark lines behind it.

Ok here's what I've done in some of the free time I have whilst I'm working in France, unfortunately my modded xbox is back in the UK so they are not tested. I would love it if someone would be kind enough to do that for me and report any problems.

I'm no genious with photoshop, and they are reasonably basic, but bear in mind they have been done on a laptop with nothing but a touchpad for a mouse. I left my usb one at home,

.

Oh hell yes. That's what I like out of my skins. Clean, basic, and stylish. Thank you very much.

Some of the character skins are really hot too, they're just not what I would like to use on a day to day basis.

I say it's not required either

Although if it's kept in the same column (but below) the filenames
it might not be a big problem for skin designers.

I'm thinking .... is there any way we could make the preview box flexible ?
For example have a skin that contains a certain color code which then tells
the software to use that space as the preview box ...

That might be too hard to implement but it sure would be nice for skin designers

Let's say the above are pixels, then |||| tell the software where to draw the preview box,
and let's say |||| are coded as (r,g,

The next release will have proper skin support with separate ini's and the ability to change the skin in ZsnexBox

Millions Knives : very cool, even if it's a blown up sprite from the game and as such pixelated, it really works with the skin. Using this as default now (until neverwill's zelda is release =])

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I'll try to either improve this skin or create a different one on my days off from work.

I'm no pro at skinning, but I thought I'd make a tiny contribution in support of the project.

Loveless is pretty much one of the greatest albums ever.

With all these great skins, its a shame there isn't a skin selector within this emulator.

I'm loving how these skins are coming out, definitely can't wait until the ability to swap skins is implemented in the gui. Guys please feel free to upload any of the skins you create to Xbox Emulation Repository. I see where dohopoki uploade a Donkey Kong Country skin which isn't shown here to the site. I'd really like the original authors to upload the skins as they should get the full credit, but if someone doesn't feel like taking the effort to and would rather I do, I will be more than glad to upload them.

I doubt that something this minor would be implemented nes, but any chance of supporting the animated gif's that Xport has? I totally have a Mario Kart themed skin in my head with the chars racing around the screen...

I posted it but not as a picture, as a link since it was a full skin. I think I'm going to redo it anyways, there were some glmishes that didn't come up on my TV or monitor that came up on some others that could've been fixed. I'd also like to redo the buttons in a more intellegent way I thought of, add the GUI words and replace the logo, with a DKish font. I probably won't do this till the next version of zsnexbox or maybe not at all because I'm no nes6502.

I should note though that I couldn't be happier with how well this thread has done.
