Mr. Blue has arrived...

It's time for a new theme, this time is the long overdue blue based theme.
Here's a screenshot:

Get it here.

This time I've increased the number of available resolutions that this usplash theme can support:
640x480
800x600
1024x768
1280x720
1366x768
1280x1024
1440x900
1680x1050
1920x1080
1920x1200

I'm also planning to re-release all previous themes with the above list of resolutions.

They keep coming...

Another week, another brand new bootsplash :)

This one has the XBMC Splash (the one that appears when you start XBMC) pulsating in the middle.

Here's a sample (it's kinda hard to show it pulsating in a screenshot):

New splash engine!

Hi all!

I've been away for a while... (new baby on the way)

Anyways, apparently, the guys at fedora have been working on an amazing new boot splash engine named plymouth (YouTube: here and here).
Their goals are to create a more streamlined boot process (less flickering) and nicer effects.

You can experiment with plymouth on Fedora Linux 10.

What's all this have to do with XBMC? - You wait and see :)
