The new build's available at the start of the thread. Something of particular note with this one is that the customisation settings are a bit screwy; you'll see what I mean.
I'll upload the folder with all the textures shortly. A right mess, they are.
Oh, and I never got round to properly coding the RSS options, so atm you have to select RSS in both the XBMC and Skin settings for it to work. Remember, this isn't so much a "work in progress" as a "work in progress in progress". In other words: erk.

I think the links on the first post don't work. The link to the new release though is this I believe: hxxp://www.nashwanpower.com/download/xephyr/Xephyr_ALPHA2.rar
Like the work so far! Keep it up!

Not sure what happened to the original link. I've put a mirror one up for the time being.

Custom background folders/slideshows are now working for both the Home screen and media windows. The Customisation menu is also fixed. I'll post a small update tomorrow.

Updated again with the aforementioned improvements. Custom background slideshows, fixed customisation menu, few more bugs stamped on.
Download's on the first page, titled ALPHA2b. Thank God someone gave me edit privileges.

Incidentally, if anyone using this skin would like me to post thumbnail artwork to fit those poster frames, or episode thumbnails for TV shows, let me know.

I really like the look and feel of this skin. It is a bit difficult to read on my 57", maybe I can increase the font size?
Anyway... a few requests:
a)
Can you make the 'Settings' a hidden button, e.g. not on the main menu scroller? I don't think it make sense to have a button on a main menu that should only be used rarely by the admin of the system, and never by a normal user.
You could also do this with a power button?
I did this on my PM3 mod and it works well. Maybe something that if you press up from the main menu, hidden buttons appear?
b)
Can you add some more views to the videos? I really like List2 and also the icon / grid-like view.
I'm not an expert but I play one at work.
