LinuxMCE 0810 will have new design of its user interface called Titanium (see UI1 – SLD based GUI, on the picture above). In my opinion it looks more professional then old one. Moreover, users will be able to choose one of the several variation with different data grid colour.

All changes were done without special tool for designing LinuxMCE GUI HADesigner. Instead of that the graphic files were modified in the directory /usr/pluto/orbiter/skins/Basic. A little bit earlier I changed background for media file browser UI2 (OpenGL GUI verion) using the same approach. Because it was difficult to read movie titles with black letters on the dark green. By the way, Titanium will be also available for UI2 soon.

    Mark, You can install it using the instructions on the LinuxMCE wiki. There is a link to the 0810-alpha2 page on the front page of the wiki. Follow those instructions.

    The system will from that point be upgradeable with apt, and can smoothly be upgraded as we bolt on new features.
