Just tried it out BJ, couple of comments:
1. The skin switching is EXTREMELY nice, i too love how it fades into the new skin, I changed between 6-7 skins with no problems... It was so nice not to have to restart, now we only need previews of the skins

.
2. Love the new skins that are included, I take it you made them, they are very good, especially the animated robot! I love the way it shoots when you are loading something!
Couple of non-Wip comments.
Tonight I was trying to get my xbox to see F:\ I enabled partitining using the system menu, but everytime I rebooted it went back to 'enable partitioning'=No.
So I did it through Evo-x. However I then rebooted and MXM saw no F:\ which was weird... I went through all the settings and couldn't see anything... then it hit me after 1 hour of fiddling... When I had used the mxm patcher I'd clicked to disable F on startup. So I wonder if its possible to add re-enabling G and F in the menu? or simply stating that they are currently disabled?
Another thing is that MXM ALWAYS says that it is in Safemode - Which is kind of weird... Is there any reason for this? My time/date is always set and the xbox is left plugged in...
Thanks
