In case you hadn’t noticed previously we’ve added a pair of new Media Center themes to our Download Center.
Future themes and updates will appear in the Download Center section and users can email their themes as attachments to mhealy@hack7mc.com to have them added to the section. This new pair of themes comes from a Hack7MC reader, Steve Firestone (thewarm). Both themes are created to be used with Media Center Studio and since this program has been having issues lately adjusting the start menu items we’ve included a fix for this as well at the end.
Hopefully we’ll see further updates to the MC Studio program soon. The first of the themes, called Black Desert, features a black background with 3D style blocks as well as a handful of custom start menu icons. The second theme, also from Steve, is called A Touch of Red.
