The vista media center has a great look and feel about it. I will be interested to see how this turns out. It would be great if there was also a script for vista media center but as far as i know there was never one made for xp media center so it is very unlikely. Would sure be great though. All the best with this skin!

could you just do an update to the mce 2005 v6 skin that's out now? like a theme for that skin. if that's ok with whoever made it first.

Vista's Media Center works differently than XP's Media Center.

no, i'm talking about the mce skin for xbmc. just create a vista theme. don't make a brand new skin. i think a theme would be easier.

It would be easier, but it wouldn't really look a whole lot like Vista's Media Center.
They're very different.

Here is a couple ideas i had in mind:

(IMG:http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m236/XboxCustomz/programs.png) (IMG:http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m236/XboxCustomz/pictures.png)

I have a few other mock-ups of menus and stuff too, so if these are liked let me know.

based on the screenshots i did some buttons..
it's not that perfect, but i'm working on it. next would be a similiar background, not a perfect copy (perhaps with moving rays

). it's too bad, i can't do the XML stuff ;(

Yeah but if someone does make this, then I want them to improve on MCE's appauling navigation and video menus. Not the layout, just the way it minimises closed videos etc.

I have begun working on this as of today. I am welcome to any suggestions, or help, and i am looking for coders.

What do you think so far? It's nothing extravagant yet.

I like the idea but I am disappointed to see Van Halen so close to Enrick Iglacious(spelling is wrong).

I think its pretty safe to assume that this project is dead.

Bugger, coz I was looking forward to this one.

Currently slowly learning how to skin - once I am better at it, I might look at doing a Vista MCE skin myself.
