WOW, I like it!!! Very nice work. I don't have ANY plugins, so I'm not testing the all the features, but the overall look is very professional!

One suggestion:
White text inside gray buttons doesn't provide good contrast and could be improved.

Other than that, great work... Really.

looks really good.....but, it's almost like the screen is a bit wasted having that big box there no task image.

i suppose every other one we've got used it something moving in there.

Other than that i really like it.

Yep, tried it on my television and I stand by my previous comments. A very very good skin that works well with overscan. The white/gray buttons were a little hard to read though on my TV so I stick by that comment too! =) When a button is highlighted, it turns green with black text and I like that a lot. Good contrast.

I really do like the small touches like the watermark behind the main menu info box and TV guide. The on screen information bars are easy to read as well.

Thanks.

I'm gonna try this one first thing this evening!

I still don't understand how to get those "VA panels" though... (but that has nothing to do with your skin off course)

The VA Panel is part of the video archive plugin, available at http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Plugin/VideoArchive

Looks great!
Had to change the white text on grey background, then made the buttons blue instead of green, and then it's perfect (including overscan area) on my TV.
Well done!

I like this too. Great work.
Is it just me or has there been an influx of new skins lately? SmileSmile

looks awesome, but i agree the white text on the gray button is very difficult to read.
