(Still to add the US NES controller icon. Both a Famicom and an NES version will be included.) |

Wow, that's cool! I'm a big fan of the Xcfe on Linux distributions. Did not ever test it on gmenu2x, so that would be nice if you have ported it directly in to Miyoo. Those consol's icons really look polished. |

It's just a GMenu2X skin, but yes, it takes its icons from an older version of XFCE. Back then we had pretty and polished icons, not like today (with the whole flat look stylisation craze going on with operating systems). :P I established a design process/formula to emulate the look of those icons, using select source images from the net as foundation/base -- that's how I created the new console icons in that style. Happy to share the notes if anyone else wants to help me create new (console) icons for this skin. In fact I'll probably distribute the notes with the skin, so that others can continue to maintain it and build upon it. There are still a lot of icons missing, but hopefully we'll get there in time. :) |

I have a dilemma. I don't know what to call the updated/new skin. Any suggestions? XFCE Reloaded? Linux? XFCE Miyoo? Hi-colour? XFCE Expanded? |

XFCE Reloaded - sounds appropriate. I can suggest also: XFCE reskin ; XFCE rebrand ; XFCE Desktop - anyway should consist of 'XFCE', for easy identifying ;) |

I wish there was a name for this visual style. It's not photorealistic, but it's not too heavily stylised either. It's not 3D, but it has a 3-dimenional feel, depth. It's not cartoony, yet it has a drawn feel to it. It's in the middle with everything, it's balanced. |

Hmm... How about calling it Balance? Or is that too corny? XFCE Balance? |

Oooh, ooh! I know: XFCE Life! :D Because it's lifelike and cheerful, and brings the best out from XFCE! :D And it's an expansion to the old skin, so it's bringing more life to it. ;) When you're using it, you're living the XFCE Life! Chuckles. :3 |

You need to see it on the IPS screen, on the device! It's gorgeous! <3 So vibrant and colourful -- and not in an annoying, in-your-face kind of way, but lifelike! ^_^ |

I'll prepare and pack what I have so far, and make an early share/release of this skin here. Then anyone can expand on it, and whenever we create a new icon for it we're proud of, we can share it here. Since all it needs is more icons to be complete. |

Great! I would gladly hear about that working process and see final outcome on real device. |

Here we go, guys, XFCE Life is released, just in time for Christmas: Details, guide/instructions, and layer styles/templates are in the "Design Resources" folder. I've added two new icons, one for the NES (which is now the default for FCEUX), and one for forwards compatibility with the Nintendo 64 -- if we ever get an emulator with good performance running for it on these devices/platform:
Looking forward to seeing people use it, and new icons and features added to the skin. ^_^ <3 Enjoy! :3 |

Fixed up the SNES icon a bit. I wasn't happy with my original work. Now it has a better shape and design (colour scheme) -- it resembles a SNES controller better, and the contour/contrast is better:

I'm a big fan of the old XFCE skin for GMenu2X/GMenuNX, so I ported it to the latest version of the CFW, and started creating and adding new, matching icons to it for the apps and emulators. Work in progress:
