Cheers but remember its a concept test KotiX wants thumbpanel scaled up a little so im keen for it and home stuff I want to clean up as well. Enjoy it, as it switchs diff from any other skin. Keymap incuded for shutdown menu. Press back on Home page. Press back from nearly anywhere returns to home page.
Good job so far and thank you. It definately looks like my PMIII is getting pushed closer to the back burner.
@Tsharkou, Left Thumbstick takes a picture.
Your points is?.....I am trying to show what it actually looks like on the screen.....
looks nice.
looks nice, i'll have to try it out when i get home.
I definately like the way this one switches tabs...definately keep it that way. I like this much more than the way the tabs are on the other 360 skin.
Anyway I havent spent much time but seems people like it so I will spend the time now. What id like is this any
1 Top 3 things each person would like to see. I will look at each case but if its common id say it will go in, if not ill give reason why not.
2 Background pics people think could work this could include animated gifs.
3 Anyone that knows what they are doing with making xmls to convert over to widescreen and NTSC, I can do this and will do this but help directed right can speed the process, I would like to keep fixs in house with me and KotiX for a while as it gets out of control and can be managed better.
When skins out properly I would encourage Mods to pop up anywhere, many BAD I bet, but out of the fire will come some gems im sure. Everything including layered PSDs will be released for public. So dont complain about it being locked at the moment its to control stuff if you want it in we can talk about it no worries.
Cheers anyone I will let you guys suggest now for a few days and Friday night ill make another 20percent progress on skin im planing on and sort though thought and impliment any good ideas
Tsharkou I notice your using my vis presets..... ive updated things added a fast and a cool lot and renamed and set ratingup now
Here are things Id like to see:
1) A little sub menu for shares/bookmarks. Explanation: Rightnow when you go into my videos, it goes directly into the bookmarked section (in my case its movies on the PC), and if you want to pick something from a different you hit back and see all the bookmarked shares, now what i am talking about is kind of a toggable little submenu, kinda like some skins display the scripts, press a button and a little transparent list comes up that you can choose from, this way the bookmarks can be selected.
2)For back ground I think a mixture of static and gif would be great, some ideas would be if you had a pic of a tv in the background, you would have a gif image running in the tv....or maybe a mosaic of pictures that are all gifs, they all start once the other is finished).
3) if there is room, maybe weather on every single page, like in the bottom left corner, and also track/album info as well if playing.
4)...well i have some more ideas, but the wife is saying dinners ready so will add more later....lol
QUOTE(Arcticcatzzz @ Aug 3 2005, 02:17 PM)
weather, yeah......would be a cool addition
Damn double post..
hmm, when in games there is nothing at the bottem, so i cant select like emulators, or programs or games or such
anyone else have the same problem, or know how i can fix it?
Quote = Only buttons in Pics sorry about this but there is going to be some changes to standard layout abit and it would effect all button poisitions, next release maynot have these yet. Depends on KotiX for that at moment. Next one this weekend should have better home page. Slighty resized thumbpanel. And alot more of the little things fixed. Then it will need new backgrounds that change in home and buttons (about 1 nights work) then NTSC 16by9 etc about 3 nights work id say (anyone can help with NTSC/PAL fixing if they want)
QUOTE(C-5 @ Aug 3 2005, 11:10 PM)
Well, he has the scripts on the shutdown pop-up menu, which is a brilliant place to put them, and can be accessed anywhere or anytime by pressing in the right thumbstick.
Well, i can help with the 16x9/NTSC if you need it. Testing, editing positions in the xml's, etc. I contributed the corrections to the Orb skin.
all ill say if people dont want to know dont read the forum, if they dont want to test dont download it. Pretty dam simple, I get sick of people critising when they havent done anything to help scene at all apart from comment (no code no files).
eg Im sick to death of people reading forum and critising when they could just leave and enjoy the sun or a good movie or drink at the pub. Cheers
QUOTE
drink at the pub. Cheers
How'd you know what I was doing when I get off of work? You spying on me? If you live in the central FL area then I'll treat you to a frothy for your hard work.
Damn my unmodded-owning friends are going to be jealous..
which may or may not be possible?
When sorting through the Movies view.
Instead of seeing just a bunch of ICONS is there any way to like split the screen so whatever Icon you are hovering over displays some taged info from IMDB. Like the Movie summary - run time - rating / number of votes - cast /etc ....
I've always wanted to be able to view the IMDB info and launch the movie directly from that screen
Possible or not - I'm Looking forward to seeing the finial project.
Jack daniels? That is more of a evox or UX type skin not XBMC which is a bit more safisticated

whoops that was me ^^^^^^^^^^^
forgot to log off my brothers name
Please no more comments about a stupid JD skin on this thread, first off, the idea is stupid, secondly it wouldnt be that hard, do it yourself and quit wasting your efforts on this thread...
i've been slow on the uptake of this skin...mainly cos i've just got my box modded and im still getting to grips with xbmc in general...but the skin looks sweet, and i'll be testing the next update. can't really comment on features i'd like etc seeing as i haven't used it.
looking forward to playing with this skin! keep up the great work!
good bump
OK KotiX did alot of work and added buttons, I completetly redid most things although it doesnt look much diff the size of panels is diff and added all latest fades. New CVS took some time to impliment had to add alot.
Right now its pretty much going, but if you give me to weekend ill tidy (needs quite abit of cleaning up position color etc) it up alot and release a Beta of a working skin in 4x3 and partially in 16x9 or do you want to see a rough working skin.
Let's see it
Good News,
Can't Wait For It
Lets See That Beta
Ill work again on it tommorrow night and upload another BETA
waiting for that beta:)
sorry guys caught a virus, then did some work on MAMEdOX will do it tommorrow now :S
Only a few hours of work.... I shouldnt be so lasy
off topic: man, i should update mame, but as long as i have turtles arcade working i good
can't wait to try 'er out. your skin is the #1 reason i visit this board.
OK sorry about delay CVS had mass issues with lockup yesterday, spent a few hours trying to work out why my skin would and PM3 wouldnt, turned out it was the weather channel had issues and I have weather on front and it doesnt. I see weather.com is going now so ill start on it soon.
Leave of until can be fixed
OK ill start finishing it in a few hours and release a new more functional BETA
got my bells on...
QUOTE(BritneysPAIRS @ Aug 15 2005, 05:42 AM)
even though all weather info works now. Weather on front is stll buggy and locks xbox 50percent of time. Do I wait again or so I leave out weather off front
soon I must
i hate having to scroll to the second page to see if this skin is updated...
http://www.thraxen.c...sPAIRS/BETA.rar
it will be up for a few days
Did you manage to fix the Weather Info?
tried for hours but nothing I could do sorry. Ive posted a bug report
Orbs uses button scroller I cant do that the way the skin works has no chanve of using it
Holy shit man, that's pretty slick. I haven't really followed this thread much, and just tried it now. SLICK. i really like it so far.
file not found.....any1 got a copy please.
Thanks
QUOTE(rimmeroz @ Aug 16 2005, 08:24 PM)
file not found.....any1 got a copy please.
i think u should switch the positions of movies and system control so wen ur in the home menu its not so much to the right
yo.. sorry if you've already brought this up.
but
any chance we can change the bg images for each section?
RSkillz go with other skin this skin will not in any way be like beasts one sorry and bars are on left and right side dont know if you only looked at pics as I suspect as at times bars are only on right and other times only on left.
Ill resize large icons to be bigger in weekend.
The skin is coming up very nice! Keep up the good work.
I agree with RSkilz on the tabs, they were nicer on the Beasts Beta.
guess I'll have to make my own one for that feature. By the way, are there any complete tut on xml? The ones i've found are no good.
Here is a quick photoshop of what i want:
I've got a lot of graphics done, but i suck at coding.
Please move to other X360 skin cause this one cant operate the way you want, tab wise. KotiX one will better suit you and its mostly done finish up would be great.
Doesn't run for me, says 'Incompatible skin. We require skins of version 1.30 or higher'
QUOTE(Fegg @ Aug 18 2005, 12:18 PM)

Can anyone post screenshots of the skin? Please?
Is the skin stable for the newest release of xbmc? Any thoughts from those that have it installed? TIA!
edit: trying different image host...hope you get to see them!
but anything graphic wise give me a shout!
It's looking sweet, I'm with Furbsuk, when it's ready it's ready and I appreciate the effort for the skin.
wouldn't it be nice to navigate the tabs with the left and right triggers? no matter where you are? and, for example, saving the location (i.e. music/any_folder/any_album) when changing the tab (i.e. to games), so when you come back to music-tab, you are right where you left music-tab. and then, when you press "back", you first get to the home-music-tab; pressing "back" the second time gets you to the home-tab. would be great, i think.
the fast up and down could be located on the left thumbstick as well, so there would be full functionality.
anyways,
awesome work,
great skin!

dead project?
wow, that would be pretty cool to make a similar Web interfaced to match. I can try in the meantime, although i'm only so good with web design. I wouldn't think it would be very difficult since the overall approach with website design is easier then making a skin. And that part i've been dabbling a lot with already.
QUOTE(xrothgarx @ Aug 26 2005, 12:18 PM)
this will probably help with the development of the skin. Just to make things a bit more similar.
Link dead.
Sorry that was my fault
download it from here
Can someone please send me a link to find this skin?? I'm very good with .xml's and would love to help any way I can.
did this skin die?
This vid rocks. Good ol' M$ shows sportmenship by hooking up a psp to the x360!
I think that a lot of the content that went into the xbox360 was taken directly from the alternate dashboards that are available today (i.e. EvoX, UnleashX, Avalaunch, etc.). This time areound M$ looked at these dashboard and said "Why don't we do that? The people want it. It could sell more!".
You could argue no but c'mon. Streaming media from a pc, And the real kicker, Shut it off from the dash itself. I really think that M$ got a lot of help from us.
any updates?
::Bump::
Updates?
I promise you will read any updates here when there are any to be mentioned. He's pretty busy.
this isn't exactly what you wanted, but dvd boxes behind the thumbnails?
they honestly make the skin look a billion times better.
even if you dont want to keep it that way, maybe make it an option in a Readme about how to change some files to put it in.
great job by the way.
umm i dont know about any of u, but i cant see the full skin on my TV....and i got the latest build of xbmc....the edges of the skin is like cut...
ive tried, and that doesnt work, so eh....
I really like the skin...Thanx for all of your hard work....looking forward to the update!
yah, i can't wait for a new link to download. looks good from what i can tell!
I think itd be convient to have the L&R Triggers control the changing from tab to tab.
QUOTE(ShortGuy365 @ Sep 7 2005, 11:31 PM)
I think itd be convient to have the L&R Triggers control the changing from tab to tab.
Yeah, i was going to suggest the exact same thing. Maybe use the left stick analog up/down to fast-flip through titles instead of triggers so the triggers can be mapped to toggle between the Tabs.
Also, i dont know if its possible. Could you have a video play at the startup of XBMC. That video being the new xbox360 startup video. Like clip it out of a xbox 360 video on the internet.
Would That Not Be The SWEETEST Thing Ever.
also replace some of the current backgrounds, with like xbox 360 pictures in stuff(ex. in the system config, would be a good place). To give it a more 360 look.
Sorry I Keep Repostin, but i jus keep thinkin of things!
dont let this skin/thread die please!
if you dont want to thread to die, then post ideas, sugestions, and/or bugs. Because if theres nothing to work on with the skin, then the thread will end.
how about i just bump it to save it from being 11 pages inward on this forum so that it is never seen from or heard of again?
QUOTE(BritneysPAIRS @ Sep 8 2005, 02:54 AM)
The pics in background Ive ask for a few times but no ones offered any. I have added widescreen and a few more effects (I want to change background pics and fix Kia which no one has mentioned I dont think it works)
Looking forward to it!

The New CVS Has Messed Up The Skin Horribly!
when do you upload a new version? i'd like to have a look at the skin
Is there any version of this to download anywhere?
maybe you should read the thread, before u ask dumbass questions.
Earlier in thread theres a link!
It will be well worth the wait......patience is a virtue!
If you want a copy of the current version of this skin(beta), I can email it to you. Just tell me your email, but a new version will be comming out shortly(I Hope!).
Also, The Skin Dosnet Quite Work Right With The New CVS.
Just Let Me Know,
PLEASE! do not add any XBOX 360 crap pictures to your beautiful skin..... It would be like putting big old White Armani letters on an Armani Suit. Or like putting those CAR MANUFACTURER stickers on a car.....duhhh I know it is a FORD, but thanks for pointing it out! We know it is an XBOX....we spent enough hours inside and out of it to realize this....no need to plaster it all over the UI.
my 2 cents.
Keep up the great work.
Greatness cannot be rushed.....It will be ready when it is ready.

yo briteny, please just post all the stuff u have in like a giant .zip file, and then we'll work on it. kind of like an open source.
even if theres bugs and it dosnt work. nobody cares. we just want the pics! :-p
ill do that tonight
I have limited time with quite a few other projects on the go and girls nagging, and I dont use skin so was relying on requests that didnt come in. Hope people know what they are doing I guess time will tell.
GL guys

this is source files it will need to be textured up to make it faster
if you need any help let me know anything
Good Luck
Thanks for posting it up.
Just loaded it up. Using an xpr file and it is working good. And looks nice.
I've been using this skin for a couple days now. Props to britneypairs for an awesome skin. Just one thing though, I use xlink regularly with XBMC and noticed when you enter the xlink part of the skin, it still loads PM3's skin for it. The xlink notifications are PM3's also and the pop ups are to dark to read. Britney, can you skin that part so it looks like the 360 skin. Thanks again for the great skin, I plan on using it as my default as soon as all the bugs are fixed (not saying there are many)
xzenor
Thanks for the update!
I really like what you've done to the skin...I believe PMIII finally will be replaced!
I just have one question.....where is the option to power off the xbox? Can I add the option to the script menu where the weather and gametrailers are?
Thanks again....great skin!!!
Is it worth upgrading from PMII?
I never liked PMIII, sadly its default on all the new builds
Hey Guys,
Unfortantley I have no skinning abbilities, so could someone load a working version of the update?
Thanks,
Thanks!
Worked like a charm BritneysPAIRS...you are the best...Thanks again!
Love the skin
Can't wait to see what else you're working on!
Am i missing something here, but i can't see how to get to the scripts. At least when you go back it only displays "Reboot Shutdown Shutdown in 15 Mins". And looked everywhere else and didnt' see where to access scripts. Or was this accidently left out? Just wondering, in case i was just to tired tonight because of work. Still looking great though either event!!! Great job BritneysPAIRS!!!
Uh duh. Better delete this one so I don't look completely stupid!! Haha. Guess i really am pretty tired from work. Was forgetting x360BP uses back and r-thumbstick differently for a minute, compared to Orb and PMIII. Time to go to bed, getting delirious. I love you guys!! LOL
Nice work
its only a shut down menu I have some other stuff in keymap, Id like to release a totally pimped xbmc with 100s of changes big and small, but its hard not to disrespect the team that have worked so hard to perfect a great product. With all my personal changes

Works for me.. Thx for your continued work on this BritneysPAIRS! Very nice skin. Is kotix still workin on this aswell or what? Havnt heard anything in a long time.
Some of this aspects in this skin are absolutely awesome.
Just wanted to throw my thanks in for all the hard work you've put in to this.
Jason.
QUOTE(BritneysPAIRS @ Sep 21 2005, 05:52 PM)
it will run slow if you dont compress the textures
Adding my congrats on all your efforts on this skin (and other projects)
As a newbie trying to learn all the jargon and pick up some pointers, is there an FAQ or How To... anywhere on compressing textures, skinning etc? I did some editing with Fireworks for a French guy who did a 360 style skin, but that was very simple. I'd like to go to the next level.
Anyway to you and the other pros - keep up the good work. XBMC rocks - regardless of which skin you use!
I'll update The Orbs for sure and probably work on this one too, let me just say that I was expecting something more from BP, like the Xlink screen or some new graphics, but it's ok.
Let's enjoy what we have right now.
Cheers.
but i dont think i will end up using the skin after all the pages of talk about it. thanks for the work on the skin and all the other bits ive seen your name on around here
Uau!!! UAAAAU!!!! i can't close my jaw! This thing looks great! Keep the good work!
Thanks BP, Had a blonde moment there forgetting to remove the "PIC" prefix. Always good to be able to have you guys as a resource, great skin.
I think this should be **pinned**
