I also have this idea, but it's a fsd thing, fsd loads this images just if you are in gamelist and if you highlight a game (it makes sense), so it's not possible! Another idea was to load the picture of the game inserted into dvd drive, maybe you give it a try ...

take also a look at skin.xur ,some graphics and animations are there stored

hey freakazoid,
nice skin you are working on!!! But can you increase the version number when you update your skin so that everyone can see it on the themes page that you have changed something.

Update to MetroStyle v2245 Eng Ger Ita

* added idefix23 improvements
* added segoe font (ä ö ü probs in german translation, hope for a soon fix)
* changed/animated some tabs

I can't find the Games default version anymore in the package... Just the Eng, Ger, and Ita versions. I then tried to mod the Eng vs with xzp tool2 and it won't allow me to delete anything! I then tried to just rename the main to main1 and games default to main and it won't allow me to do either!

Also when I rename the blue patter to patter and then close xzp and send the file to the 360 and reset it, the 360 boots and signs me in but all i get is black screen! What can I do to change this? Also I see white and black patter's in there too! Can those be used also?

not at all, the other patter's are used for other things in the skin

What do you do after the rename? just close xzp?

wait until on the left bottom says 'ready'

change main.xur to main1.xur
and mainGamesTab.xur to main.xur

any progress on getting dvd playback functioning? i copied over some of the stuff from the default skin so it says open tray, opening tray, close tray, closing tray, reading disc..., and name of disc.I havent had a chance to fully test this part. The source function needs to be added so it launches the disc.

nice! play game from dvd works!

Any way to keep the effect of it saying: opening tray, closing tray, reading disc, and game name on the play dvd tab and then have game icon on the Kai tab

edit: also one small issue, just sumtin that bugged me: on the profile section, If your gamertag is longer than like 7 characters, it gets cut off, on my version, i moved it to the right of the avatar so longer gamertags can display fully

edit 2: not sure if its been noted, but RB and LB work after opening the skins tab. Not sure if its fixable.

edit 3: is it also possible to have a blue arcade icon for those using blue pattern?
