I got to say I have always admired your screen shots. I have always wondered if you are able to code or just making mock ups.
No insult intended because I think you have great skills when it comes to putting together good looking windows for skins. I just don't understand why you say you left the xperience and then post shots of a new skin that looks primarily like it...which is also the basically the same as my xbox360 generic layout....boring!
My opinion is that you should try to work on something that hasn't been done already. New visions are what drives this community. I just wish I had the photoshop skills to do it. Thats why I can only essentially mod others fanastic work.

ekim232,
Yes, I do code. I left because I wanted to pursue a version closer to my early mockups. We parted ways without any hard feelings. More importantly, this is not a mod but a completely different version that is designed to run on more powerful systems at 1080p. We're also paying close attention to the little details which in my opinion are often overlooked. Lastly, if it's boring then you have plenty of other options.

I like your idea of a 1080p....because my htpc is built for it. Like I said I was not trying to insult you. I just think that you have the talent to put a whole new look into a skin rather than use a layout that is already going to be widely used by crowd when xperience hits.
I envy people like you who can mold these images and create new layouts. People like Jezz, Djh, Ronie, Skunk, Minimalko, Digital High, and many others here have done amazing things by using their graphical skills to bring these new layouts to us. I just don't think you should limit yourself. Even your previous mock ups from an earlier posting were a whole new vision.

My mistake I was under the impression you were actually going to go a different way as you have the skill to make a different skin I'm a little unclear on why you continue with a design already being used. Not that there are not already a few skins that exist on this forum that are similar to others. Still my point is with the skill you have you should be concentrating on something new for the community. Just my 2 cent however feel free to do as you like as it seems you already have.
Really enjoy the fanart panel view BTW very nice.

I'm also not sure what to think of this, on one hand it promotes a little healthy competition, on the other it stagnates the community with two skins that could be too similar.
