Release skin or not?

Postby Colby on Fri Apr 23, 2004 9:20 pm

Im too lazy to finish my skin in a timely manner, but Ive created a lot of new buttons, and that may interest some people. So Im debating whether to release my skin "as is" or wait until its finished. I have spent some time on this skin trying to make the perfect remote, touchscreen, mouse, keyboard solution. I created over 100+ new buttons and 60+ images to go with the skin. I also have several new pages and overlays too. This skin is simple and easy to use.

In the "As Is" version these are the sections.
Music section= done!
Movie section= done!
Game section= done!
Menu= done!
Game Menu= done!
Internet Menu= done!
Photo section= Work in progress
Weather section= done!
Live Tv=NOT done
Recorded TV= NOT done
Home Videos= NOT done
Controls section= NOT done
News= NOT done
Browser= NOT done
Web Cameras= NOT done

Colby, NICE JOB MAN! Very clean cut!

I agree with AirPost, preview it and get some feedback. Then you can decide how far you want to go with it, in the meantime others could tailor it to there needs too, who knows, you might get an exchange going. Don't feel like you have to make it the most versatile skin... go with what YOU would want and use and let other customize there own version. :wink:

Wow Colby! That looks like an incredible amount of work represented there. I agree with the others that you should put it out there for others to use/tweak/troubleshoot for you. There are a lot of us (& the numbers are growing daily) that don't have the knowledge or skill to make our own graphics, but we can build or tweak a skin to how we would use it if we had those graphics that we want.

You've done a beautiful job & I don't think that I'd call anything about the job that you've done lazy.

Amazing job! A lot of good ideas! May you distribute a preview, in order to tweak a bit? :D Did you tested it with exp11?
