[skin] BTV4 Pirates

[SSDNAdmin]

Author: darren_E

Short Description: A skin like you have never seen before
Long Description: This skin is by far the most different skin you may see on BTV4- A Pirate Theme. You may not actually USE this skin but you should at least TRY it just to see for yourself. There are elements that should *NOT* work and yet somehow they do. More hours were spent on this skin then they were on "Nostalgia." You have water, weapons, wood, ships, and more. You even have a gold coin booty when you use your guide. This may not be the theme of choice but I sure had more fun making this skin than any other. Enjoy....and Argh!

Excellent! I just installed it on my Link machine and really like it!

My only comment would be to have the channel information in Live TV more transparent.

Keep up the great work.

Thanks, I did have the guide more transparent but with the water background, the text would get washed out (wait...no pun intended).

Thanks for the positive feedback. Maybe with the new Pirates of the Carribean 2 - Dead Man's Chest coming out soon- this skin may gain in popularity.

Great-looking skin!

Now SS has to implement easy skin-switching for BTV...

Someone over at GBPVR used my skin -

I'm flattered that they like this skin enough to use it. Cool- Pirates pirated my pirates.

Hello Darren, When I looked at your link, I found that credit was give to you as the author.

Quote :"This is a port of a Beyond TV skin created by Darren E. The original skin can be found here. I thought it worthy enough to port over, and see how flexible the GBPVR’s skinning engine can really be."

Maybe you missed it.

Yep, I changed my song and dance too. I'm now 100% F-L-A-T-T-E-R-E-D!!

I don't have Beyond Media. I am open to someone using the files from this skin to make a BM skin if they want.

Thanks for the comment, it's rare that us skin developers get comments on our skins.

This skin should be appropriate for this month

I bought a fusion 5 a while back, but it's honestly been a waste, becuase i couldn't use QAM with it to record and so it basically was just a 2nd tuner (i might as well have gotten a hauppage)

I think you missed a post somewhere .
I'm not sure my skin has anything to do with an application.
Although feedback- positive or negative is always welcome.
