Hello,I just cant find skins like animatrix anywhere!

 

Sorry Eric, i've lost you.

XVGM is a skin for unleashX that leverages videos to give the apperance of a much fuller GUI experience.

Its an incredibly ambitious piece of work once you breakdown what its taken to get it to this point.

Where I can find this skins

VIDEO REMOVED - See in OP's post above

How do I install it? I've seen many tutorials on it and I can't make it work.

 

Which particular skin(s)?  Don't say ALL.  Start with a few of the best you are mainly interested in. There are many shown.

or that awesome hulk skin!

Is this the hulk skin you mention?

I think I have the animatrix skin too but the HDD it is stored on is currently messed up.  Have some parts on order to try and fix it.  Will look at my getting places in the meantime.  I sure thought I'd installed it on my Xbox b4 but it is not there now.

Hello Gents.

I got unleash blueshapes. looks very nice.

But how do you change main menu (adding or removing categories) 

Not FTP pass.

If that shudl be don in Format Menu then, what its password.

Thanks

 

You edit the menu in config.xml.

The Format menu item is used to format the HDD has nothing to do with formatting the menu entries. (Passcode: AYBX)

Setup of the skin's look and menu is split across two XML files

Any skin name listed without being surrounded by < and > symbols are built into UnleashX and cannot be modified.  If you want to use a modifiable Blueshapes skin you'll need to add a copy of its skin.xml file to a subfolder in UnleashX's skins folder.

Rocky5 extracted the builtin skins from UnleashX's default.xbe file.  The ZIP archive is attached.

UnleashX default Skins.zip

However, skin.xml only changes the look of the skin.  The shapes and graphics used to create the background that menu items and dashboard information variable values (text): date/time, IP address, partition freespaces, etc. are displayed on.  The menu itself (category items) are found in UnleashX's config.xml file in the <Menu>...</Menu> section. You use a text editor to edit the file, save it, FTP upload the updated copy - overwrite the current file, then reboot.

See the Menu section of the Xbox Softmodding Tool's UnleashX config.xml below:

do you know where I can get icons pack for emulators ?

 

I possibly have some but on a currently dysfunctional hard drive.  I had an xbox-skins archive with many skins, etc. but don't know if there were emulator icon sets in it.

Do you have any examples of the style you are looking for?

 

Update:  N163LPH03N1X has some sets of icons.
