Update for everyone...
*Transfer of existing Welo code to fresh xml's as starting base, and restructure to my coding style complete
*Home screen complete
*Movies section complete
*TV Show section complete
*Videos section complete
*Music section complete
*Pictures section complete
*Apps (programs/add-ons) section complete
*Favourites section complete
*Settings/Add-Ons section complete (i expect some skin settings will be added)
*Now Playing Overlay's complete
*Over various bits/texture work complete
To do...
*Weather section
*Screens like File Manager, Profiles, System Info, etc.
*Menus
*Player Controls and Overlays
*Final animation check/tweak
*Anything else i've forgotten!
Some extra info... currently the skin stands at 14.9MB in size (Confluence is 15.9MB) so it should hopefully be lightweight and resource friendly. There's not a great deal more textures to be added.
I know it's very early to be talking about such stuff however for the future, ideas like the below can be introduced...
*Dark theme (not too dark though!)
*Optional alternate list design (early ideas in Welo's mockups)
*More exotic views (over than the standard list, large list, poster, wall views) like coverflow
I'm getting there! However please don't ask about an ETA on an alpha/beta release. I still don't know!
Cheers
