Chroma

This skin comes from a concept i was developing for Mediaportal 2.0 using vector graphics.

It seemed a good starting point and worth of publishing for Mediaportal 1.2.x.

Development was very fast and took less than a month during my little spare time.

Optimized for Full HD resolution.

The skin is meant to be used from a remote or keyboard. Mouse is partially supported.

Fanart supported in every screen.

Different color themes are available (Lime/Default, Amber, Indigo, Fuchsia, Titanium).
