Ellipsis for Xbox (EX) skin for XBMC

[Blackbolt]

Hi Guys,

I feel like a newbie to the skinning scene I've been away so long. Basically I'm approaching a realistic goal of releasing my new skin for XBMC before the end of the summer. I have a bit of work to do on it, but I thought I'd begin a topic now so I can show off what I've been working on.

So firstly, a little about what Ellipsis or 'EX' is. EX is designed to be a primarily icon based navigation UI, meaning text or words will be used as little as possible in the GUI, only in the settings menus and also for file names. This simplistic form of navigation lends itself universally for use by everyone young and old regardless of age.

Now some pictures of what I have so far:

Home Screen:

Video OSD:

Some of the goals I'm aiming for with Ellipsis:

* Simplistic Navigation
* Sleek Design
* HD Dedicated GUI

I will have more very soon, I'm just waiting on a PC Upgrade to get at a lot of my stuff.

how strange, i was just thinking about this skin this morning, remembered seeing it on your website aaaages ago.

looks absolutely gorgeous. the closest thing i've got to a sleek and elegant skin at the moment is the Apple TV-based one, but this looks fantastic. good luck!

I think I just saw two black cats walking in front of me *shudders* - Deja Vu.

It's really nice BB, but 2 new screens a skin does not make. Could I suggest leaving off a release date until you're sure that you'll have a skin to release..it saves things getting a little sticky if you know what I mean

That said, those new screens do look good, and I also cant wait to see it on my tv!

Cool. I thought this skin might have been forgotten about but I'm sure glad it's finally getting off the ground.

I am pleased once again what EX heard. BB makes it already, I can wait.

@ MikeBeecham from "Fluid" I've also seen nothing yet.

Both skins should be a surprise, and this is a good thing.
