After talking to Blackbolt I have decided to release a copy of the skin editor soon for you all to have a look at. After that point I will be doing regular updates at key stages. Please remeber the application is still in its infancy and alot needs to be still done to make the application useable, but guess you all would love to have a look anyway. As you may tell from the title I will be making the application available for download on the 6th June in line with Blackbolt's MC360 release. See http://blackbolt.xbox-scene.com for more details.

Please keep those donations coming in as still got a long way to go till I can afford the component needed for enhanced XML editing. For those interesred here is the component I plan purchasing to enhance the XML editing abilities within application... http://www.actiprosoftware.com/Products/DotNet/SyntaxEditor/Default.aspx

Thank You.

I just wanted to write and thank you all for such a great response and start to the opening to this site. The site went from around 80 visits to around 2500 within 24 hours. It is also nice to start seeing a community of skinners coming together and seeing the forums start to grow.

Please keep the ideas and comments coming in.

Hello & Welcome.

Firstly thank you for visiting my site and for showing interest in what im trying to achieve. This site is dedicated to what I call simply the XBMC Skin Editor. The overall idea of the project is to allow users to View, Modify and Create XBMC (Xbox Media Centre) skins using a feature rich and easy to use proffessional application. Big thanks go out to JMarshall who has given valuable information regarding XBMC, Blackbolt for his wonderful graphics used on this website and in the application and XanTium for supplying this web space. This application is being developed as and when i get spare time, it therefore may take some time to complete. If you are able to help in anyway towards this project then please dont hesitate in contacting my self via the forum. Any help such as donations for example will enable me to complete this project faster as I would be able to afford time saving components for use within this application. Here is a small list of some of the features / tools I plan to have in the application.

Skin validation.
XPR file viewing.
Syntax Highlighting XML editor.
Skin preview.
Drag & Drop skin editing.
Calculator.
Color Picker.

For now please feel free to navigate around the site using menu at top of page. I hope you all enjoy the site and the eventual release of XBMC Skin Editor.
