It seems that since sometimes Microsoft doesn’t hear the enthusiast community, some of those enthusiasts have gone about updating and expanding a favorite application amongst the community.
Earlier today TGB user Advent posted that a beta version of Media Center Studio is now available. While I won’t steal all of his thunder, here are a few of the options provided by the application:
- Apply themes to Media Center (supports the old MediaCenterFX themes, so there are some ready to go already).
- Create your own theme from scratch.
- Rearrange or hide native items in your Media Center start menu.
- Create your own menu strips.
- Create custom application entries to include in custom strips – link to an exe, a native Media Center page or even specific media.
- Restores Media Center when exiting 3rd party executables.
- Set up a remote button to close or kill 3rd party executables and return to Media Center.
Advent goes on to warn that this is a beta and it’s possible for bugs to exist. That said, I’ll hopefully have time to play with the application later this week and let you know how well everything is coming together!
