Hi all. I was just wondering if anyone would be kind enough to turn some photoshops into a real useable skin for XBMC? I have no idea whats involved and the wiki page just goes right over my head! What i purpose to do is make a series of screenshots in photoshop of what i think the UI should look like, then have some clever people come along and turn them into a usable skin. The photoshops do not exist yet, but will be in PSD format so the skinning wizards are able to pull out each element and export it accordingly.
My aim is to have a beautifully simple skin that looks premium and is focused on being used with a HTPC rather than in a desktop environment. I want graphical elements of the skin to be customizable by the end user (icon sets ect), but that can come later... if at all.
I'm prepared to put the effort into this, but i don't want to start if no one is willing to help.
Cheers,
Chris.
