I managed to backup the default pictures used by the gp2xmenu so i thought it's time to test out some skins.
But there are so many and i don't know which are good, readability in menus for example or that just look awesome. i also don't know if the skins fully support firmware 1.4 so the lcd thingie included not that it's that big of a deal but it would be nice
any idea's to get me started ?

aurora seems nice, it's my current pick but i'm still going through others, i'll try yours as wel telcolou.
ive made a skins directory on my sd card so that i can change skins on the fly and revert all back to normal as well using the backup images

i only have one problem, my 2 gig sd card is already full lol

Looks good though.
Anyway, the skin that I use is the Mac OS X Aqua skin, located here:

Slightly OT, can a skin effect performance?

No, I don't think so.
@ pipa
Good taste. "Blue Poison" is my favourite skin, too.

well i just have a skins directory on my sd card now, with blue poison, gorrila red, aurora, the macintosh skin,blueray noia, tuxntosh ,mobile thingie and my default backup skin so i can just change to either one of them on the fly. Not all those skins change everything in 1.4 doh. my personal favorite is the aurora skin, it seems to be the one that changed most files and text is very readable with it

My favorite is the Monty Python skin, but it doesn't have all the pictures for 1.4.
