missy_xbmc Wrote:I've been downloading skins, mods and plugins for xbmc since day 1, which feels like an age ago. Changed my user name many many times, changed my media libraries 1000 times and watched or listened to a million or more videos or songs on who knows how many skins. Used an xbox in it's day, got a htpc and a projector, and ended up with a linux system at work and apple tv at home.

BUT never, not in 5 years, have I liked a skin as much as this one. There's always been a home screen feature, glitch in the look or something itchy that never quite got me stuck to a skin as I've been stuck to this one. I just can't find a complaint...

And with this recent Screenshot, I'm even more stuck. It looks ABSOLUTELY FAB! Everything about it rings quality! I really can't wait!

You have an updates list for the new release, or you going to release it with the update?

XBDD Wrote:Until now that is. This skin has the X-FACTOR, or in less geeky terms, it's the best skin around, and has the biggest potential I reckon. I think all die hard fans of Aeon, this is what we wanted Aeon to end up as!

Anyways, bring Vol 3 on. We're all waiting!

pletopia Wrote:question .. that shows off the desktop how it will look will the menu bar in the middle

i presonally don't like that, i feel that having it lowered makes it look better with backgrounds .. anyway .. if i lower it .. will the time/weather thing stay attached to the menu bar or will they go back to the top ??

The-Boxhead Wrote:i just dont get all the nagging about that the actual skin functions is in the way of backgrounds and fanart or whatnot !!

Hell it's a skin and not a wallpaper ! if a skin is gonna have some userfriendlyness there has to be clear and easy to understand controls.

In the long run you really dont watch the backgrounds on a skin or do you ? you have the mediacenter to have an easy access to your media. !!

Man all this nonsense makes me bellive that some people actually bellives that its better to have a skin completely without userfunctions and just a nice backdrop to look at... I myself stick a painting on my wall if i want to look at something nice...

markiz Wrote:I just found out. It is possible to have different icons for the parent folder and for video files!

DefaultFolderBackBig.png vs DefaultFolderBig.png vs DefaultVideoBig.png for instance.

You can place some images named like that in the media/ folder in the skin.

rectifier Wrote:Stunning job XB2IRIS! Pitty it's a screenshot and not the actual release, not that implies that I'm putting pressure on you to release anything anytime soon.

Isn't that peak ironic. Strange thing, it looks even better than the original stark preview in my opinion. Every touch is brilliant! The NOW PLAYING section looks remarkably neat and works really well with the RSS and Bar. Nice touch having that glow effect surrounding the cover art. It's eye catching and will definately light my Living Room up even more than it is already.

Really looking forward to the actual release. Volume III is going to be one hell of a spectacular piece of art. Wonder what's in stall for us, the users.

I still don't see enough praise on this forum since that screenshot was released. A lot of people are asking about features and if this or that is included. What about acknowledging how amazing the screenshot looks!

Anyways, bring it on!

rectifier Wrote:Oh, and yes, the NINE INCH NAILS cover DJH_ used is for track number 3. I just checked. Like that your a NIN fan as well. If only Trent knew about XBMC, he'd appreciate this work of art!

I'll check back later. Really excited! Amazing mod's can get better!

Tension113 Wrote:Well that figures.. I almost have my Horizonz: Volume II , looking the way I want it to and you go and change the way everything looks.. Looks great though.. I'm starting to get the hang of things, so hopefully I'll be able to apply what I'm doing to Volume III when it comes..

Still working away at it, but here's where I'm at so far..

BlackRose Wrote:Just saw the lara croft screenshot, and let me tell u, if I wasn't excited before, I'm definately excited now.

Tell me this next release is out soon. C'mon guys and gals, positive feedback will prevail. We can get Volume III out if we stand together!

I absolutely love the screener. Like that u've changed the main menu, even though I don't believe it needed anything done to it beforehand. It was splendid from day one, but I've got to say, I adore the new look. May start using the RSS Feed again. Haven't missed it, but it looks amazing on that capture.

Well, all I want to know is when this release is coming out. There's a lot of updates included I take it. I'll be happy with just having the main menu page looking like the preview. Can't believe it. Doubt it'll get DJH out of hibernation though, and I believe that's the reason for doing the shot the way you did.

So, tell us, when will it be out. Guess u haven't said anything since the screenshot because there hasn't been enough positive feedback just yet. Well, everybody, Looks amazing don't you think?

six_storm Wrote:I like where you got rid of the CD jewel case on the album art, looks way better. Looking great!

I wouldn't mind seeing a font change on the main menu myself, but that's something easily changed.

xb2iris Wrote:Just another peak into the future of Horizonz.



Over the past few weeks, the Lower Home Scroller position has been mentioned more and more frequently. So, here's a screenshot of what to expect in the next release Volume III.

Still awaiting more Feedback on the topic of Home Screen's and older versions of the Mod. Thing's won't get changed unless you say something, and obviously, flattery will get you very far to getting your way... LOL!

Your turn...!

BlackRose Wrote:That's the second time this screenshot captivated me. That backdrop is unbelievable! The Skin passing over the backdrop is even more sensational. I'm in love with that screenshot!

Simply stunning!

Personally, i still prefer it on the top right.
