Description

Development for this skin is now hosted at my Github account. Check the releases for the most up-to-date version.

10/7/17 - Check out the 3.0 WIP

**UPDATED 8/31/2014** Now Fully integrated with Steam including a list of locally installed games and daily sales RSS feed. Added a uTorrent skin and bookmarks menu for internet column. Created Links to Game Console Emulators (not finished) and Controller utility programs (like xpadder and motioninjoy). Fixed some minor bugs and improved code for MOST of the skins.

I trying to imitate the Playstation 3 XMB (cross menu bar), but allow users to customize without having to open up a text file and type in their customizations. Used dreamscenes ( rocketcheetah.com/download/pla… ) in screenshot above. Feel free to leave feedback and report bugs because i'm definitely in over my head on this one.

HELP! - IF any REAL artists out there would like to make an acceptable "working" animation (the spinning circle while music is playing) I'd be happy to add it and give credit. I'm not great at making small pictures with photoshop...
