jezz_x,
I like the skin. One question...

Can you make the Home screen use coverflow? It would be sweet to have the menu for the screen selection be coverflow and the image it shows above the screen name text be a multi-image background set (that changes every few seconds). Similar to how backgrounds work on the Home screen with PM3 and Aeon except in a coverflow format.

jezz_x, loving the skin. I used to have Vision as my main skin, but now it's yours
One question, is it possible, and if so where can i do it, to change the order of the shutdown menu that pops up when you hit X while on the circle.
In Vision it used to default to shutdown, which i liked since i could easily shut off my xbox by pressing back -> X -> X. Right now it defaults to the Favourites button so I end up in apple movie trailers.
I tried looking through the skin files but was soon confused.
Thanks again for a great skin.

Matt

Open up dialogbuttonmenu.xml and move

<item>
<label>13005</label>
<onclick>XBMC.ShutDown()</onclick>
</item>

to the top

Excellent, thanks Jezz_X

Hi Jezz. Noticed a couple of possible bugs...

Selecting "Programs" from the settings menu doesn't open anything at the moment. Noticed that if playing an ntsc video (on PAL 60) when paused the time played is slightly truncated.

Also the quick scroll arrows in the bottom right corner don't seem to be working quite right in any view. i.e. when I select the down button (keeping pressed the select button on the MS remote) I can quick scroll through any list as I do in PMIII. However if I try to scroll up through a list is just stops (despite the fact that I am holding the button down on the remote).

Great work on this skin by the way... My new default

[Jezz_X]

1st 2 fixed and I updated the rar download as well

the page up down ones are somthing jmarshall will have to look at because I have no control over that sort of thing

[jmarshall]

If it's the spincontrol and it behaves differently between skins, I'm afraid I don't believe you.

If it's the same in both skins, then it's something I can fix.

[Jezz_X]

pm3 dosn't have spin controls anymore

[CosyCat]

Wow thx.

Jezz,
You don't like this idea?

[Jezz_X]

no I dont sorry and wont be adding it it allready has 2 alternate home screens I'm not adding a third plus the whole custom background thing looks really weird on most images because of all the transperant black in the images
Also coverflow is a hack at best an really dosn't work very well ot is very usefull when you really get into it its just pretty

I think you misunderstand... I'm not asking for a custom background at all. I'm saying use what would 'normally' be backgrounds for the covers in coverflow. It would work really well since it is just a few menu items (Videos, Music, etc), not a complete library or something.

It would definitely make the skin unique... I hope my explanation is clearer? I also hope you change your mind.
