Interested in what people think of the change.

It also has some more dialogs done and is now about 90% skinned as far as xmls go and it also got a little smaller in filesize

skin.touched.alpha_version.0.7.0.zip

P.S. I also remembered to remove the "Reload Skin" button in home this time

I get an "Error 500" response from http://code.google.com/p/jezzxbmc/.
Can you host it somewhere else?

EDIT: Seems to be a problem with iCab browser. I can see it in safari or on PC.

NEW VERSION!

Obvious changes in this version are
* Redesign of the home screen http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/2095/...ot019a.png

*Added a few Meta Data views to the video library which are ironically faster because less images to load on the screen

(the look better on the iPad than in the screen shots)

* Added a battery level indicator to the top right of all the main windows (this needs an iOS build greater than 18th July or it will always show 0%)

* Brightened up the background a little

skin.touched.alpha_version.0.7.1.zip

I have also uploaded a nicer weather icon pack to my site that I recommend people use I got the original from here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=50196 so all credit to Bob___ for making it

weather.zip
just copy it over and replace the same zip in /private/var/stash/Applications.CHXuVl/XBMC.app/XBMCData/XBMCHome/media while xbmc is not running

Slightly off topic, sorry - any chance for those icons to make into default pack and be shipped with XBMC? I mean, did you have a chance to discuss it with devs?

The issue was Bob__ didn't actually make them himself he just made up the package so there was I issue of not having the proper copyright to stick them in the main code because we couldn't get permission from the original author

Thanks. I was actually hopping that got settled when I saw you decided to incorporate them. So external download for now it is.

Quick question Jezz.

If, and that's a big 'if', I were consider adding a 4x3 mode to XeeBo is it simply a matter of adding

<res width="1280" height="960" aspect="4:3" default="true" folder="4x3Hirez" />

to the skin addon.xml and then working from folder 4x3Hirez ?

I take it the name (4x3Hirez) could be anything I desired.

Thanks.

Jezz_X · 2011-07-24, 18:08

Indeed hitcher you can use any folder name and any resolution these days as long as you make the line in the addon.XML proper
You will probably need to add one for the current default as well though and remove the current way you use as well

the busy dialog states "caps lock" and i don't see the battery indicator in top right ... but your skin is really cool.

keep it up Smile

I fixed that a long time ago I would suggest you manually delete the old one and install the latest in the first post

Jezz X: this theme is epic SICK! Hella well laid out. Love the breadcrumb navigation.

Only deal breaker, can't seem to get scrolling to work. I know it's alpha. Did get it to scroll a few times, but the other 99 tries registered an up or down arrow press. Any way to enable scroll bars?

featherodd there are no scrollbars you need to use nightly versions of xbmc like I mentioned in the first post it has the proper gesture scrolling style so you don't need scrollbars
