Preview Some Skins/Themes Of XBMC
This player really looks awesome:
Some of the themes are of extremely high quality and make iTunes look like a program from the 80’s. Some built-in web scrapers can download cover art from the web and there are many useful plugins like Internet-TV or weather forecasts.
All in all, this a nice alternative to VLC or Windows Media Center and might be especially an option for Linux users. I’ll probably install this on one of my Ubuntu machines, but could imagine that this is a good fit for a HTPC as well. If you are working on setting up your own HTPC (home theater PC), I suggest you give this a try.
thanx for such a fantastic application’s sugetion.
I just left an article on downloading a ridiculous number of cursors, and it was followed up fortuitously and marvelously by this beauty of a suggestion. Beats the stuffing out of WMP. Good job!
