WIP (btw... the overlay doesn't look that crappy on the xbox, dunno why it does in the screenie) Tell me what you think.

I have a problem with the file manager background. In the previous version I manually drew the rectangles on the file manager background (left).



Now with the new release, I have to change this background. I want to use a blean background (right) and have UX draw the rectangles itself. It can do it if I remember correctly.
Does anyone know how?

Grebulon:

I've been thinking of this of and on during the day and the more i think about it the more convinced i am that it's about the Dialog_ or Option_ settings as i showed you above. Could you please try out setting up this colorscheme in your skin just to try it out. I've made all opacity at 100. If this doesn't work.... then i'm at a loss.. more than usual.

This skin is finished except I'm waiting for the soundfile to accompany it.

Its a full screen HQ video of a fireplace. It's only 6 sec long but looping perfectly. Perfect for the living room

I like that ... a lot!

wasn't there more like this, a virtual aquarium or something?

I have an aquarium video as well, problem is its not really loopable. Good for screensaver though. For it to be in accaptable quality and lenght the file size is a bitch though.

That fireplace vid is 5 meg and only 6 sec. Mind you I don't really know how to convert them into WMV the most efficient way, I just made sure it was as good as it gets in WMV with out any thought of size.

the fireplace skin at xbox-skins seems to be broken, I cant D/L it.

Not sure what happened with the FirePlace skin!

Anyway, I deleted the posts (the file disappeared somewhere)

Please reupload Amything

i wanna try it out

Amything, I like your fireplace skin, but one request. Could you make the video without sound?
I'd do this myself, but I failed to find a utility to split wmv files into the streams. So if anyone can recomment such util, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

I fixed UnleashBlu2 to work with the newest UnleashX... I just need Hydraulix's OK to release UnleashBlu3

well is it my eyes or is that fireplace vid pretty interlaced

my wip:

Ok thanks for the help. After fiddling around with the gui it I found a setting that made more sense but the quality was the same.

I'm not happy with the looping of the sound however. It has a noticible gap. It works perfectly in Vegas video and sound forge.

Is it not possible to have seperate background sound in UnleashX?
I tried it like this but no dice:
<BackGround EnableAudio="false">fire.WMV</BackGround>
<BackGround EnableAudio="true">fire.WMA</BackGround>

Are there any sound options available in skinning or are we stuck with MSdash sounds and sounds coming from WMV files?

Are there any other recourses available for skinning other than UnleashX0251218.doc and X-S non working search

Hi Mr. was just wondering about something. Your latest set of AllStars skin seems to have a "bug", really, i'm not sure if it intentional or not. I was just trying out my new component cable in 480p and wanted to try something high-resolution.. Well it still looks kick-ass... But that black and blue stuff on the image below.. what gives man? No disrespect, i hope you understand that.



cheers

btw... 480p =

Could some 1 make a skin with this pic, with a intro vid and load vid?Somthing with lot of crome efects and chains

This was a MXM skin I ported over to work on unleashx. The loading intro starts out zoomed into the skin at a different angle, zooms out and the last frame of the animation is what the skin is! The original author that designed this was "Ice-Pr", he did an awesome job on the videos. Unfortunately the loading intro originally had no sound at all so I had to create some humming sound effects etc using Acid Music Pro 3.0, then once I did that I had to re-encode the video with the audio using Windows Media Encoder. Then I converted some of the WMV files to be XMV in hopes of making it more stable. I also custom made it so the video preview appears inside of the black X-sphere. I stayed up all night working on this... Enjoy!

p.s. feel free to edit or delete the IP and F drive info, couldn't find a very good place to put it, but I felt like having at least those two things were necessary.

update on the Dell Media Experiance skin. In the process of creating the icons for each section and hopefully the stats will be able to scroll the bar at the top. The font needs updating too,

Looks awesome Dunny, I think maybe round the edges of the menu items a little more tho? just my oppinion tho :| Looks a little sharp for suck a cool/calm skin.

BloodyMary, thanks for the tips, I should have found it last night but I was tired as hell.

dunny, i love your skins man, clean and practical. keep em rollin`

hydraulix: Could you please possibly answer alot of peopls dreams and do an update to your amazing UnleashBlu skin?

Good job Dunny, I love that LCD Font at the top of that Mario Skin. Do you think that maybe a font change on the menu would be necessary? I was thinking of a more "cartoon" effect.

Ok I have just uploaded these to AXS.





More comming soon. Let me know what you think.

mevinny

Looks awesome mevinny. I don't really like skins that use 75% of the screen for motherboard temp. and crap like that, then give you only 3 menu options at a time so....good job!

It looks like they're not up yet on AXS, but what are they called? I'd like to be able to download them using UX, but all the skins are sorted alphabetically rather than by upload date.

If anyone wants to add anything into this skin you can find it

HERE. -- 20/06/ fixed for the latest UX build.

It needs more icons and a loading screen.

MUCH MUCH Better. I like that!

Dunny, how does it look when a game is highlighted? Does it show a video/icon in that circle?
Also, couldn't get your download to work.

Thanks, looking great!!

Well Mevinny beat me to it but here's a couple of shots of the one I'm doing based off a MXM skin that I made
