Hello everyone!is here!After multiple requests to post more information regarding this skin I decided it was time to make a post about it. This skin began as a simple mod of tree_jammer's wonderful Lightbox skin (hence the little nods to Lightbox in the logo) and quickly blossomed into something much bigger. Although I have kept the home screen largely the same as Tree_jammer's skin, I have since decided to take this mod and incorporate what I consider some of the best views and mods from some of my favorite skins, integrating it in with the well defined Windows 8 "Metro" style. I am actually using the Microsoft's own Metro App styleguide in designing the views and screen arrangements for this skin.- The entire skin has been optimized for better performance- Trakt.TV support is now official- Skin is now completely LOCALIZED- Let the translations commence!- Skin now uses icons for most buttons- Skin will be added to the Development Repository- "Themes" have been totally recoded as "Colors"- The skin is now "Feature Locked" until after the 1.0 release- Skin has moved to GitHub!- Added two new colors-and- All windows are now skinned- The font has been changed (for the last time!) to Roboto to prep for official repository- Gradient tiles and keybacks have been removed- Redesigned the login screen- All codec images have been replaced- The Album, Add-on, Song, Video and Trakt.TV Info dialogs have been totally redesigned- The Personalize settings menu has been restructured- Intelligence has been built into the Personalize setting menu so options disable if the necessary script isn't present- Added a scrollbar for the category list (and can be disabled in Personalize)- Custom tiles can now be created for Video Add-ons, Music Add-ons, Program Add-ons, Picture Add-ons, Video Playlists, Music Playlists and Favorites- Trending Movies and In Cinemas panels are now available for movies- Trending Shows panel is now avavilable for TV shows- Hub screens can now be accessed by clicking on the category titles (Movies, TV Shows, Music and Music Videos)- The "More Views" tile has been deprecated now that Hub screens exist.- The List view has been redesigned (again!)- A new Thumbnails view is available for Movies, TV Shows, and Seasons- A new Thumbnails view is available for Artists, Albums, Files, and Add-ons- Trakt.TV is now fully skinned- Next Aired episode notification has been unified across all views- Scrolling sort screen has been implemented (and can be disabled in Personalize)- Added a First Launch window- Added a Startup screen- Added a Tile creator window- Trakt.TV script is now integrated and skinned (and can be disabled in Personalize)- Extended Info script has been fully integrated- Random and Last Items script has been fully integrated- Beta Testing!- Further code optimization- A few more surprises!- Hitcher for Foundation which was used as a base- 'Black for all his help with my coding woes- Tree_jammer for Lightbox and the inspiration- Ronie for the Fanart view and inspiration- Sranshaft for his help with the new TV Guide and Hub windows- Icons8.com and MetroStudio for much of the iconography- The Community- Without you this skin wouldn't exist!- Global Search- Skin Widgets- Rom Collection Browser- Next Aired- Favourites Extended Info
