Retro - New skin for XBMC

[floink]

i made new skin. it's called retro and has only original graphics. there are some remains of the hifi skin in there but i've got onklebouncys permition to publish it in current state. i uploaded it to http://www.xboxmediaplayer.it/upload

i'm actually not sure where it ends up and is available from by doing this? anyone? but as it is in an alpha/beta state i don't want to put it on allxboxskins yet.

it is my full intention to create my own graphics for these parts too. please do test it and give comment on it here. hope you like it!

i like it veeeeery much.
especialy the idea of the main menu. (maybe you can use a picture of an old pc/console instead of the x, oh and while i am suggesting things maybe an animated gif of some useless analog displays on the main screen).

for all ppl who wanna try this great skin you can grab it here.

**edit: updated both links to the new version

floink keep up the good work *

[floink]

thanx

i uploaded a new one where i removed a bunch of *.bak files which are not supposed to be in there. maybe u could update the link hullebulle?

the pc idea could work, yupp... and the analog stuff youre talking about is in the worx. the clock is supposed to look like the little spinning progress thing you had on old tape recorders (needs tweaking though)... i'm planning to ad gifanim to each 'window' using the pictures from the main screen.

ok i updated the file.
same link = here

great looking skin,
please ditch the big green x though, a old console like hullebulle suggested would suit it much better, i think so anyway.

kudo's dude.

i made some icons by modifying the existing ones, so i had to do some reouche and i was quite lazy, so don't expect too much...
the images are a bit too realistic compared to the original ones, but as i said i was quite lazy...

you can download the whole set here including .psd - files. u just have to extract the files from the folder with the set u want ot the /media directory of your retro-skin folder and overwrite the existing ones
it includes a commodore 64, a classic macintosh and a nintendo es


i hope its ok for the author, that i edited your files, i really love ur theme.

[floink]

glad you like it... thanx *

and ofcourse you're free to do anything you like with the skin. it is an open source project which i presume applies to skins aswell... but as for code it will have to go through quality control before it's included *

still... have patience and you'll have an updated verison of the skin where you'll have pictures looking more like the other ones. patience, patience my friend...

oh and i've been trying to keep devices in the 70s' so i guess it'd have to be a pong console or something like that?

love the retro skin and iv spent hours tweaking it to fit my ws tv.

one thing boothers me and i cant find a fix for it...

when looking in music and unsing list mode i see the icon in front of my mp3 files fine. but after i scaned all mp3s i dont get the icon in front of my mp3 files... but i get an icon in front of folders and m3u´s...

[floink]

strange problem? haven't noticed it myself. scan of mp3s takes me a couple of hours so i haven't bothered.

can you see if the same problem exist in hifi skin? thats what i started of with.

(been thinking of doing the retro skin as a ws-skin as i have a ws tv myself)

[ktd]

will try hifi...

let me know if you want my ws tweaked retro if you wanna start from there...
