swhitmore 781 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Hey, I'm loving the interest in a Windows 8 app. I'm not sure if a lot of people have seen these, but here are some mock-ups I did for a Metro style app. Feel free to use them. Comments welcome. Login Screen: EHS Views: (Side Scroll Panorama) Collection Views: TV Series Collection Views: TV Series Menu Views: Details Views: 4
swhitmore 781 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 Should be fixed, can you try now and tell me if you can see them?
gthrift 57 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 That looks awesome. I would love to see that as a MBC theme as well. Nice work. Hopefully someone will pick it up.
ebr 15679 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Yeah, Scott they are all back. Some of you will recognize Scott's EHS layout...
ebr 15679 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 LOL - I just noticed you have yourself married to Charlize Theron. How does your new wife feel about that...? 4

7illusions 1249 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 That profile screen really looks killer!! I'll use that straight off!
chef 3808 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 So, some of these shots look like the theater client. The login page is cool. MBC should use that. user last seen date (i can't remember the exact parameter in the API). The theater could use that too. there are no backdrops in the images, could some of the information get lost without an overlay on the backdrop? I would really like to see some of these images be put into the theater. I like how the "red bar" is used in the EHS shot to imply focus on the "movies" item. That is just great! I wish I was better at XAML/WPF, I really do...
trooper11 63 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Cool stuff, I love these mock ups. The login screen is especially slick looking to me. That screen is usually rather plan, but you made it fit right in with the rest of MB. When I think of MB from a design perspective, its the focus on the visual flare. Things like backdrops, visual effects, etc, all come together to make an appealing look.
chef 3808 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Upon further examination, I wounder how hard it would be to put the "now playing" window in a panorama like that. that would be mighty fine!
shaefurr 1339 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Love your mock-ups as always Scott. I remember that movie detail screen. One thing I love about the metro, it may not be very colorful, but its simple, clean and really makes the art pop.
swhitmore 781 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 LOL - I just noticed you have yourself married to Charlize Theron. How does your new wife feel about that...? She knows Charlize will always be my first love
swhitmore 781 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 I forgot I had these too. I would love to see a Windows 8 app be about more than just your collection. I think it would be a perfect spot to aggregate news, and offer suggestions about other shows/movies you may like. It would also be the perfect client to make social plugins like Trakt become more prominent. News Views: Another Panoramic Scroll: White Menu:
Lee 211 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 mate I wish someone would make that... looks beautiful. makes my first love neo look boring!!!
trooper11 63 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Yeah, a Win 8 app like that could be every bit as robust as the MBT program. You can go way beyond just serving the media, but integrating all of the extra plugins that get developed such as the social stuff, news feeds, podcasts, etc. It could support the book plugin, not to mention gamebrowser. The options are there if the will to develop it is there. 1
Aphid 212 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Should the search, home, and settings options not be in the app bar/charms? Playback controls, and access to the "now playing" playlist too.
swhitmore 781 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) These were used as the mock-ups for MBT. The settings are there so you can access them with a remote on a TV. But yeah, they can be hidden. Edited October 24, 2013 by swhitmore
