* Blackbolt Classic Skin 2.0 for XBMC Released
This skin was originally made by Blackbolt for version 1.0 of XBMC and Has been completely redone by me (Jezz_X) to make it compatible with version 2.0 of the XBMC skin engine. Included are the 2 other color themes that were originally shipped as separate skins they are MOONLIGHT (Blue) and FARENHEIT (Red), the default theme CLASSIC is GREEN. After Project Mayhem 1 became the Default Xbox Media Skin, Classic was the first skin created which wasnt just an edit, it was a skin created from scratch, with a whole new OSD, and new homescreen functionality. Blackbolt was originally just an Evolution-X skin artist and this was his first attempt at skinning with XBMC, with help from the legendary 'Chokemaniac' (Project Mayhem Creator), he was able to complete the skin in the summer of 2004.
As we have many more options in XBMC 2.0, if you use the two included themes you will need to change the text color to match the theme this can be done in 'Settings\skin\settings\Change Font Colors to Match skin Theme'. All extra strings that need translation (if you wish to) are found at the top of the includes.xml in the PAL and PAL16x9 Directory of the skin between the two fields below:
<!-- Begin Translate section -->
<!-- End Translate section -->
The rest should translate with XBMC Language files. The Skin supports full HD Resolutions and Widescreen. Unlike MC360, this is a totally finished skin, the version number is 2.0 to reflect the retrofit to XBMC 2.0.0. I Hope you like the remake have fun with it and please report any errors you find in it to the bug section on our xbox-scene forums.

* Blackbolt eX XBMC Skin for 2007
As we mentioned in an earlier news post, the next skin developed by Team Blackbolt will be called 'eX' and will be for XBMC Exclusively. The entire theme behind the skin is elgancy, simplicity and no words! There will be as little wording as possible, you will see the filenames of your files, the settings menus will obviously have words in them, but the rest of the skin will feature simple icons that will display the info for that button. If you have thumbnails for your movies or folders, these will overwrite the text description for the filename and you will see the thumbnail only.
An elegant Black Gloss look has been determined and with the help of the Xbox-Scene XBMC Skinning forum users. Some concepts have been developed and a final look has still to be decided, but it will look alot like the preview images below. With the current time plan for MC360's production decided, eX will start coding and artwork early 2007 after a deserved break from Skinning. MC360 has been in production since December 29th 2005 from concept to finalisation. You can expect MC360 1.0 Build later this year. Thank you to all X-S forum users for their Ideas and help with ideas for eX, its looking like its going to be a breath of fresh air.
