Best skin for a CRT (55cm, 22")
#1
Hi,

i'm wondering if there is good skin for a CRT.
I tried the three skin that came with XBMC but none of them look fine on my CRT.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Focus and Aeon Lite look very sexy on my 82cm PAL 16:9 TV (using a XBOX). But the image quality greatly depends on what platform/videocard/cables you're using.

xtv is the db's IMHO. Clean, simple and does everything you need it to, especially on a CRT. Looks best in White theme, best coverflow implementation as well.

I would say Test them all yourself. Every person has there own opinion on what they like... I personally use Media stream on my XBOX. I have picked that because it is closes to what I want... but it is still not the perfect skin in my eyes. I liked many of hte other skins as well but the Showcase view of Mediastream suites me the best. BUT that is only what I use.

I suggest to any person asking this type of question to test them and form your own opinion. I personally don't really like the Fanart but there are MANY people here that love it. So once again... and yes I am a broken record. Try them and make your own choice.

Have a great time... XBMC is still the best out there if you ask me.

In my opinion XBMC lacks a skin that works well for small screens/large distances. Too bad my time is so limited, or I'd like to try modding a skin to better suit those needs.

The original PM3 works great on smaller 4x3 screens.

I do know this is an old topic, but maybe someone is helped with this.

I stumbled upon the skin Alaska Big and it's really great for SDTV's (and still looking cool!)
