RAKT VIEW
LEX VIEW
3XperiencE1080 is a skin with focus on music, graphic design and customization and it takes inspiration from a lot of other skins.
The Project is still on 1080p without touch support (also if i'm planning to add a very basic touch support in order to make possible to navigate the home screen by touch controls)
I'm currently working on a custom Mod of the skin Xperience1080 in order to fit better my own taste and needs, the main focus is on music library and on customization.
Everything that's graphic feature is added and created from zero by myself.
The Skin Mod works, as the original Xperience1080, on a resolution of 1080p FHD and in future it will be ported to fit mobile devices and different resolutions.
I'm searching for suggestions and feedback from all the people that use or used Xperience1080 in order to understand better what to improve in the Skin and all the possible bugs:
Feel free to write down your suggestions, bugs that you experience with Xperience1080 or things that doesn't work as they are supposed to also into the original skin.
A quick bug check of the well know Xperience1080 Problems:
