the skins retro and flatstyle are just great skins but i think that by default xbmc skin has to be one of these: xbox media center, mediacenter and project mayhem, just because those look the best like the original windows media center and for some reason almost all the media centers out there (windows media center, dell media experience, j. river media center ect.) are by default something with the colour blue.... hmmm

but that is my opinion.....

the "dell media expierience" look great for me.

i have to agree. i love retro and use it as my default skin but in terms of the default skin i think leave it with the mediacentre skin as that is a recognizable "standard"

i was to quick to vote. i voted mediacenter.. but that was before i tried th new blueblack skin.. it so great looking and looks realy pro! this is what should be the default skin.

voting for the default skin doesnt necessary mean you should vote for the skin that you think is the best looking. i agree with san9jay "leave it with the mediacentre skin as that is a recognizable "standard"".

retro or hifi, although the dell looks interesting. i think retro has the most personality going for it, over all.

but whatever happens, i think the defauld is a good skin. i do think though, that having more than one skin is a very good thing.
