Meedio Essentials - Theme Designer
The Theme Designer came out after ME was released, and it provides a way for someone to customize the look for their HTPC. Technically, this is a separate program (default installation location C:\Program Files\Meedio\Meedio Theme Designer), which could easily take up an entire article, but this is a review for ME after all, so we will only go over this program briefly.What you need to know is that the theme designer allows you to create or manipulate themes already created. While this sounds easy in concept, the program and the extent of what you need to program takes quite a bit of time to get used to and actually complete a theme.

In Part 2 of this two-part series, we will be drawing everything together with our final thoughts, touching on Meedio Essentials' plug-in capabilities (covering a few of the top and/or unique plug-ins) and the backend design of this HTPC software solution.

It would be helpful if the author would define what "HTPC" means. Any idiot can use an arbitrary acronym or initials.Brazen - Sunday, September 5, 2004 - link

I'm very glad you reviewed this htpc frontend.I have settled on this for my htpc. the setup is easy and everything works out of the box...of course I try to complicate things with different dvd/movie players than the default. ffdshow post processing, and integrating sagetv into it. :)
I hope you really go in detail on the plugins..especially the net radio ones, and news feeds.!!!!!
