Other than orion, I don't think there's a lot of people making skins for Xlobby around here. Using Google, I was able to find a lot of them when I originally found Xlobby last year.

In my opinion, it's a good idea to do a bit of research and learn how to modify xlobby to suit your needs. In my case, I used the Colby skin 2 as a base and modified it like crazy, only to find that orion had done a kick ass way better job than me! So then I scrapped mine, and used his as a base. I still ended up modifying it slightly, but it turned out great.

Good luck,

Hewskie

These two links will take you to pretty much every Xlobby skin posted. Keep in mind that some of them are for Pay lobby and won't work on free lobby and some need a lot of plugins ect loaded to get them running. You will need to check out the info for each skin before you try them out.

Hewskie is right, in that it's a good idea to make Xlobby suit your needs. That's what the designers had in mind in the first place, and to that end it is extremely customizable and can be used to create control software for a ton of different applications. The main fault I have with pretty much all of the Xlobby skins I tried is that the jukebox side to them are all pretty much the same (there are a few exceptions of course) and in my opinion no one really got the jukebox working intuitively nor were most of them laid out pretty well. This is why I put all the effort I did into learning how to skin Xlobby and in making up my skin.  Having said all that these are two of my favorites. I find them to be a bit of a pain to use, but they are still pretty cool!
