the thing with bp is .. he/she wants to mod pmiii but cannt cz the textures are locked.. anyway.. if anyone wants to make a lookalike of pmiii then i think the .xml files are enough.. the files has all the image names with positions and everything..
edit:.. just saw you put a skin named britneyspairs in the xbox-scene.. you should atleast have the manner to put a name like "pmiii ripoff". or "stolen pmiii with modified .xml"..

he told me not to mention project mayhem at all other wise i would have given him total credit. i gone and totally redone settings and right button stuff now. and im about to change every window to be totally different. i can then post to him if he wants to see if not ill change every graphics in texture.xpr to another look maybe to tampers old one. is this allright to use as template or is that unorginal. the skin changes im going to make will make it like no other skin anyway. im doing it purely for interface design really want to make it alot easier for the people that have no clue. i dont even have to release skin i dont care i can give it to kotix and he can hack around with it but it will take me a 20-30 hours id say just to change the xmls and some may like the work ill do. also some graphics are from nvidia you have perssion for those ? alot of its taken from there mplayer skin. (really i dont care about that or it being open to tell the truth any more if its not ill use your xmls and completely redo graphics will take a few more weeks to get it all going thats all )
sorry about release having no credit but i tried i wanted to release just patchs (about 10 diff small files to add commonly asked defaults, and he says he wanted to help this would save about 1million questions on tonnes of forums )

choke specifically said he dosnt like wrap around.
i agree, it looks much better to have the cursor bounce back to the top button.

ok ive played with the skin for about 5 hours now and have totaly changed the look and feel of pm3 seems to work really well. ill say it is not a little hack like last one but complete change in operation of the skin and surprisingly it worked perfect and made it way easier to use. now that ive mocked it up and seen its complete posible i want to start from scratch and do it properly again as ive seen a few areas that could be done better. but id like choke to look at it first maybe he might actually see some areas he might like and he will sit there and do skin in all modes (ntsc pal high something i dont have the tv`s for and cant be bothered). also jmarshal may want to see this as i believe it will improve interface for the common user alot. happy to share mock up but how? pm me and ill send you ftp file and pass to open it. dont want credit just know it may improve useablity and you guys can decide and jmarshal has asked for ideas (if a pic tells a 1000 words then this should hay at 1001, even if it is a 10 percent stage)
nickman please tell me anyskin you have done or work?
