Wow ! That's one sofistimicated do-hickey indeed. Nice, clean, simple and the colors are pleasing to the eye. Great job there ! :D

Nice work!

What font did you use for the menu buttons and for the digital clock? I don't seem to have those fonts in my XLobby font list. Did you add additional fonts? If so, how?

Looks great man, simple and clean...just the way I like a skin. I especially like the fact that you used a picture of the 801's on the music page. Now if I could just upgrade my 805's to 801's....

Continue the good work.

Excellent work - my kind of skin - IE should look good on standard TV with a remote.

Thanks for the feedback and positive words.

I'm thinking of making the splash screen a little lighter - make it pop a bit more - thoughts? You probably noticed that I'm not taking advantage of everything that Xlobby can do. This is because I'm going more for a home theater front end to drive Movies and Music from a recliner and leave CD/DVD burning and web surfing on my office PC. I plan to add PVR and channel surfing, just havent finished those screens yet.

MAC - The fonts in the skin are

Button Text: Bank Gothic LT BT - small text & Bank Gothic MD BT - larger text

Button Images: Webdings

LCD Font: Digiface

Bank Gothic and Webding are standard window fonts. You can find Digiface here: http://www.ericbrooks.com/fonts/?cat=D&offset=50
or http://www.digimode1.com/availabDMEXE.htm

Twit - Thanks, I kept the screens as simple as possible and grouped the controls together for (hopefully) easy navigation.

Steve Hanna - Thanks for providing this awsome application.

baddabing,

Any chance you are willing to up that skin ? That looks exactly like what I want ! I would even be willing to host the files for you.
