k, you can get the original xbmc skin from the cvs. what programming language will you code in?
- Gamester17 - 2003-10-02
one thing to think about is that one has to make seprarate skins for each resolution to optimize the qualty.
like:
ntsc 720x480
pal/secam 720x576
hdtv 480p/i 640x480
hdtv 720p/i 1280x720
hdtv 1080i 1920x1080

actually if you know some c++ / directx stuff
you can take the guilib project from xbmc and port it to windows
it has everything needed to load & draw the skin
hehe, now that i think of it. its should be pretty easy 2 port the entire xbmc to windows:-)

hi all
i was searching the forum for an app like this, but it seems that it doesn't exist at all. i want to make an skin for xbmc, but i don't have any idea on how to edit all of the xml files. i would use the trial and error method, bu i don't have the xbox near my pc, and debugging the skin is nearly impossible.
a wysiwyg editor would be great. with an app like this, for sure that the number of skins for xbmc would increase a lot.
is this project dead or something?
thanks in advance
pd: maybe i''l post some jpg's showing my ideas for a new skin.

i think this thread is dead, referring to my earlier post:
skinning software
but i'd really like an app like that...

would it be intresting if someone released xbmc for windows!
things like debugging and other things would be easier.
