So, I've had this idea floating around in my head for a while now with the intention of designing and coding it myself. I'm posting it today to see if:
A) There is any interest in a skin concept like this (its pretty off the radar from most of the skins out there)
B) If I can drum up some interest in helping me with the coding. As much as I want to code this myself, I just can't seem to put together the time to get it going.
So, I humbly present: The Paper Street Soap Company.

I'm certainly not sold on font choices yet. Some of the text are placeholders until I can draw up some suitable media flags, etc. You get the idea of how the rest of the media areas will shape up. I have some animation ideas to make this flow... for instance I would like for when you press "i" on the movie, the notepad image will slide up and left, the coverart moves to the left and out of the way, and the additional covers fade to 0 in the background while the rest of the smaller elements drop in.
Comments and suggestions are welcome. Again, I know this is pretty far outside what we're used to seeing in XBMC Skins, which is frankly why I decided to head down a different road!
