What Theater View Skin are you using?
« on: January 08, 2008, 08:36:37 am »

I use Hairstyle, but I'd really like to have something a bit sharper/sleeker.  What is everyone else using?  Have there been any new skins developed by users?  Besides Blue-Too, which really isn't my taste, I'd love to see some new skins if they're out there.

Just the default "obsidian" background here.  :o

Obsidian.  It's not ideal, but it's pretty close for what I need.  Good color scheme.  Readable.

I am an obsidian fan as I like the idea of being different than those programs trying to mimic the Microsoft Media Center. I kinda wish it was possible to merge the blue-too and obsidian skins as I love the icons on the main page for blue-too but the dark skin for obsidian works great on any screen I am serving media to in the house.

All of them look a little clunky to me, especially Obsidian ... Blue Too looks too much like MSMC - MSMC's interface is a bit too nice to attempt to copy without looking like a poor version. I really like (and use) the one with the wood-grain background, begins with 'A' I think, looks quite smooth and anti-nerdy.

Acajou.

Now that you mention it, I really like that.  I think I will change all our HTPCs.

I think mixing videos into the Theater View background is a cute trick:
