you can't do much yet, apart from drag-dropping components. it loads home.xml from a subdir, images from the media subdir and uses the english strings.xml.

download it here

you need sun java to run it.
you can either double-click xbmcse.jar or from a command prompt: java -jar xbmcse.jar
if you start it from command prompt, you'll be able to see errors and debug messages.
should improve over time... how fast depends on how much free time i have.

tried it out and it runs fine with the included mediacenter skin. and after some fiddling also with my retro skin the graphics for my nofocus buttons do not appear. and if i'm allowed to ask for features i'd like to see moving objects with 1px steps with arrow keys and maybe 10px steps with shift key+arrow keys. great work! keep it up.

[Mouton]

good idea for the arrow keys.
for the nofocus, i'm still not decided if i want to show them onmouseclick or onmouseover...? any preference ?

[floink]

well my preferance would be to show the focus button on mouse over or/and click.
then again it would be nice to have a navigation mode (to navigate with arrow keys and fex enter) and an edit mode to switch between (for moving objects). so that one can test ondown, onup, onleft, and onright functions aswell.

[shznyt]

any work still being done on this project?

[Mouton]

nope. not enough free time on my hands.
anyone fluent with java and interrested in trying to continue ?

xbmc skinner

another nice skinning program to look forward to.

so when will the beta of xbmc skinner be released. i went to that link and it isn't available yet. however, there are some folks making skins and posting them at allxboxskins.com. how are they doing it? i want something more personalized. that was the cool thing about evox though it was just to0 easy. a little photochop and you had a cheesy background gui. xbmc is great because it feels more like an os and less like a dash.

if only i could personalize it with a web url or pic of my car. it's the last thing on my list to customize my xbox besides 128 megs of ram.
