Hello everyone,
First I would like to make a post about hernandito's background images. He made the post way back here:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2018134

and I loved the backgrounds. Note the backgrounds, not the old layout of this pic.



Here is his download for these images:

Note that in the following comments, I have included all of these images with my new versions.

I have made a ton of these backgrounds. There is over a gig of them, here are some examples in action:
Note that I have no idea how to post them nice gallery's that people post, so I have to do it this way with links, plus I think theres a limit to images, anyway sorry for all the links.

Oscars, I have 17 of these, why 17? Cause thats how many Oscar movies I have lol:

Pictures, made 50 each with 2 images per background, but they are all nude women and I'm pretty sure that there are rules against posting them, so you will have to PM me on those...

AND MORE!!!!!

Also Coming Soon, conditional weather backgrounds, ie for you that don't know what that is, on the weather menu, the images will change accordingly to the actual weather. all in the same patter layout.


Notes:
First I suggest you use the layouts you see in the images above as they were made for them.

Second, I will give you the code to remove the transitional background switches on the main menu, this is because these images were ment to instantly change (ie no effects) so that for example many of the buttons will look like they instantly change colors, the background effect messes up that illusion.

Third, There has to be interest, as Ive mentioned, its a gig of images and growing all the time, thats allot of uploading for only 2 or 3 peoples interest.

I am constantly making more, so there will be periodic, addons that I will post (should the interest be there.) I'm addicted to making graphics so I spent allot of time doing crap like this

Please let me know if there is interest in this.

Thanks for your time in reading all this

NOTE: These images should work for any skin with a similar layout.

Nice work as always Shafowtek.

Thanks

Turns out that hernandito has made 60% of the conditional weather backdrops, so once I start, it won't be long til there is a full conditional weather set for this background type.

I am very grateful and excited to be working with ShadowTek on expanding these backgrounds and the Conditional Weather. I have not looked at them for a while and I thank him for carrying the torch in my absence. I love the skin... and I hope it keeps going strong.

Please make suggestions and requests.

Thanks,

Hernandito

Nice. I remember these but couldn't remember where they were. I love the colours, not keen on the icons. Where can I get your set from?

[ShadowTek]

Sorry for the long delay folks, still here and have added all links to these backgrounds.. Got distracted on my logo thread (see my siggy)

Make sure you grab the original backgrounds from hernandito first:

anyway... I use PNG format for best image quality possible.... so the images are big. All are 1080 HD

Today I made 65 images, that may sound like allot.. and it is.. but there are 47 weather categories, so allot more to make..
On the good side hernandito did make allot.. and he resized allot of the existing images to easily place in correct area, and the ones he didn't I did.. so all images that need to be imported into main image are now all resized correctly.. so Im on track of having this done in a week or two.
