Nice Meedio theme would make a great XLobby skin...

[Aaron]

Hi All,
This Meedio theme is the most well layed out and easy to use skin I've seen. If someone wanted to convert this skin it would be fantastic!

Let me know what you guy think of this one!

Wow I reallllllllly like that one. Thats exactly the color scheme I've been shooting for all along.

I will try converting it and see how it goes... I'll post when I make some progress..

Definitely one of my favs. I'm rooting for you, Jowaldo!

I started a port of this a few weeks ago, about 1/2 done with it. Music screen, and movie screens done, as well as a few others. Notice my post on the thread asking for the games background. lol.

[jowaldo]

well if you have a start on it, I guess I'll hold off

[mattdisaster]

no no by all means, go ahead with it, actually thinking about it you'll prolly do a much better job on it. If it helps, the font is century gothic and if you dont have it, I can email it to you. heh. Good luck.

Glad to see I am not alone - I started porting "and combining" with some other skins as well but absolutely like this. Weeks ago..

I am a novice so would love to see some of the pro work on this one as well.

Thx guys...

I saw this skin too, and it was almost enough to make me buy Meedio and switch. If you guys can port this to XLobby, that would be my dream (16:9 please!!!...1360x768 might be asking for too much...nah! )

[rubbah]

i'm giving it a try, this is my first skin so the progress is slow.. i'we spendt all day on menu.xml


what u think?

[Arthur]

Nice!

[Aaron]

It is looking very nice. I like the color themes you posted too.

one note... for me the large "X" is distracting.
Maybe if it was optional... is that possible?

[Twit]

Wow, If u can pull that off this will be a skin i definitly will use.

[rwh]

Right on, Rubbah! Very encouraging start!

IMO, HDeeTV uses background images like the meedio symbol to great effect. Affini, perhaps the 'X' can just be de-emphasized instead of removed? If removed, it may leave the page too barren.

Just my two cents worth.

[rubbah]

the x is just a picture, so i can do what ever with it.. i'm trying to keep all the graphics simple and transparrent so that i could change color theme and it will still look good.. anybody care to explain to me how theme's work? http://www.xlobby.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1962

[jowaldo]

rubbah I can't seem to figure out themes either... not sure if thats workin or not.

I've also been making a clone of this skin, but I used my skin as a base for it, and making a hybrid of my skin and this one.

I'm gonna play around with it some more, I may finish this, but I don't have time to do this one and mine, so I'll have to choose soon one direction or another.

Here's some screenshots, totally a WIP tho









You guys think I should go in this direction, or stick to my skin more the way it was?
