i also think black blue is the best candidate; the colors are neutral but still "cnn-like", the gradients give a very nice feeling especially with "my weather".
the best thing offcourse is that it is made by a homebrew artists, so it really gives the mediacenter a unique style.

i also like retro, lixx and hifi, and i loved the xpmedia for a while, but i think it's outdated now. when we use that skin, (forgetting legal issue's for a sec.) than we should atleast update it to the dell one..

yup, i definetly dig the b&b skin; clean and nice, but it still needs some polishing of course. the only thing i don't quite like is how the small videowindow is placed over the fileselector list. don't know if this could be scripted to be fixed, making the list smaller when the preview is present or something. also some problems with other languages with this skin, but i would rather suggest an update to the translated text, as some of the lines are a bit too long imho. (yep, i'll probably start by making suggestions for my own native language ) ps! sorry to make this into kinda bugreport...

hmm.. i hope my skin would not be the default one

because it's too much work to update it every day (for cvs)
in my opinion the mediacenter skin should be the default skin, because the devs can edit it like they want it to do..
and its a kind of recognizable for ppl who don't know xbox mediacenter, but windows mediacenter

and yes! my english is bad

yes looks that the mediacenter and xboxmediacenter skins are the most liked ones and thus the best option but again, we cannot use those in out cvs unless the replace the icons/pics with ones that does not have copywrite, hope someone can help us out what that(?)

how about a joint effort from the skinners? i can start working on the big icons for the home menu. i'll just use the existing ones and make similar.
i guess icons for folders, cds, networked folders and such has to be made too?

yes foood has some very nice icons but he's copywrited them all so you would need foood's explicid consent to use any one of those

i think it would be supersweet if a 3d cad artist could make some models that could be converted into 2d icons form different angels
