Once again, glad to see someone skinning for MXM as none else seems to care anymore..

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

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...

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).

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).

I have made a color pack as well- Black, Green , Blue, Red and Original, to offer up some variety.
All I have to do now is just fiddle with the system specs text.
Also, for some reason, I cant get the spaces beteween menu items to go away, ive tried copying sections from other skins and still no luck, I must have a syntax error somewhere or something. I changed the menu font so it is smaller and it looks way better, its a different font as well I believe. Ive finished the loading screen and now Im just going to make some sort of a screen saver.
Ill post some screens when it's done of the different colors.

As to the spacing issue. Are you using the MXM style menu? Cause it keeps the space where the descriptions would normally go even if they're not there (ie turned off).
