View Full Version : PM3Mod (another little mod)
I tweaked the pm3 theme a bit. Changed a few animations and some xml.
Just thought, hey, why not share it?

Ofcourse i'm thanking all the ppl working on the orginal PM3 and Mike for the Acer homescreen idea.
Oh and i forgot: it's only the 16x9 resolutions i edited.

that looks really nice mate...I like the acer-style menu! it does leave a lot of empty space though?
Yeah maybe I could make it an option to blend in the original pm3 backgrounds... I'll try and play with it a bit, see what I can come up with.

Now thats kick ass...I will be downloading tonight mate
Could I suggest making the surrounding white stroke of the highlighted image a little thicker, and for some reason the "xbmc media center" text looks a little out of place?

Yeah i'll move it a little to the right. Just same position as when in other screenshots (music)
Hi
Just downloaded the skin.. Looks really nice but on my home screen the menu still looks like the "old" PM where the menus (programs,pictures etc.) is vertical and not horizontal like the screens you posted.
Do I need to make change in the menu ?

Change is always good. Especially change to something that is already great! Nice mod SyphOn, can't wait to get home to check it out.
I;m fixing the 4x3 screens tomorrow :)
SyphOn,
I like the mods... a few questions.
Why remove the oval off the home screen? I think it would look nice to have it?
Also, I've mod'd my PM3 a bit too but really like some of the things you have done. I like having the weather and help button on the main screen. Plus, I hide the settings so people.
Here's my screenshots... http://members.cox.net/ltek/xbmc.htm

I do like this mod and may incorporate some of the work into my mod. I like the scrolling home screen though I may make it text, like Xephyr (I wish he'd finish that skin!) but I still want to keep the weather, the logo, and the small buttons on the bottom left (my custom ones).
One other thought is to keep the scrolling images but make it like you did with the music... so it has the 3D effect. And I'd always show the text becasue it is not obvious what the images mean.
nice screenshots Affini!
can you share your work?
I'll open another thread and post the link there.

I like alot of what you've done here Shyphon... Not sure about the transparent content windows (to much dottyness?) Also (as I believe you mentioned earlier) it might be nice to repostion the xbox media centre text on the home screen so it is the same size and position as in other windows... Lastly (and I don't know if this is a bug or not) I can no longer select 3D list view (my favourite)... any chance you could get this back again? Thanks again for the mod. PM3 is definately ready for a Home screen makeover and this is a good effort.
Hello! I really love this mod of the PM3 skin and I was thinking It would be perfect if the coverflow effect would be added. I have seen in the thread some screenshot with the coverflow effect in the music section but in my skin it's not available :sad:. Is it possible to add it also in the video section? Thank you very much

This mod is based on a older pm3 version (at least before coverflow). To get coverflow and latest additions to pm3 (like the tweener animation) just copy Home.xml and textures.xpr from the pm3 mod to the new version folder.
By the way, here´s my edit of PM3 mod.

You could add the line
<include>3D_Cover_View</include>
to the file MyVideo.xml in the pal folder (at the end where the other includes are) , but for some reason it messes the wide view. It does work, just wide icons won't work, they get overlayed by the coverflow. Big wide works fine.

Wrong. :no: There are over 20+ modified files in the PM3Mod.
Coverflow is already in pm3mod.
I'd have another question...is it possible to increase the space (height) occupied by the coverflow and consequently to reduce the space of the list under? I'd like to have covers a little bit bigger. Thanks!
Nice mod SyphOn, i love it
keep your improvement
I'll start working on the mods again when i have time.
Unfortunally i have a lot of xml/php/mysql and some Visual VB to do atm, which realy needs to get done.
Also learning C# atm :P
Love the skin....except for me the home screen isnt as 'usable' as it was in the normal PM3...I think adding text to the menu item is a good idea...but for me i wan the onld horizontal list in the main menu but with all the other great adjustments youv made...also itd be nice if you added that new 'tween' animation that the PM3 skin now has
can someone pleae tell ,e how i can get the old horizontal screen but with the new look on my xbmc?...please
