Hello Community,

I'm a long time user of GameEx. One thing that I have struggled to find is a suitable theme to compliment the MediaPortal skin called StreamedMP which I use on my HTPC (all my emu gaming is done on this machine too).

Those of you who are into HTPC's and in particular MediaPortal might have heard of the popular skin StreamedMP, those of you familiar with XBMC might have come across the original skin for that MediaStream, which is what StreamedMP is based on.

I decided to take some of the graphics used in StreamedMP and mod an exisiting GameEx theme to make it look similar to my media frontend this way as I switch between media and gaming everything looks seamless. I introduce you the "StreamedEx 720" theme for GameEx based on StreamedMP for MediaPortal. Most of the graphics are taken from StreamedMP and icons taken from the web so I can't take any credits for those, I did however did some heavy Photoshoping to make things look clean, simple and right for GameEx. The 720 part refers to the resolution of the theme 1280 x 720 so it's designed for HD ready displays. There is also an introduction video (matching the theme) that plays as the loading screen which I will upload to YouTube later.

StreamedEx 720 is not finalized as I still have a few screens to do hence why there is no download yet, it's a very custom theme that reflects my GameEx menu structure and emulators I have setup so may not work for everyone. I have got it working on my machine now and am really pleased.

Below are some screen shots of it action....
