I do have some experience with XML so I'm not completely out of my element, and I've done a few little things like adding the weather and changing the home menu around a bit (I went all Boxee 1.5 and added a Live TV link that hooks to the Eye TV Parser).
Stupid noob question: how do I introduce Watched/Unwatched overlays to the poster view and/or some form of Watched/Unwatched text flag in the list views?
I'm trying to dig through some other skins for clues and am humiliated to report I've come up empty so far. Have also dug a bit through the Skinning Manual.
Anybody feel like throwing a slackjawed noodjit like myself a bone?

Look for: <!--HD Overlay-->
You'll see its a image control with about 6 parameters. You can either mod it to display Watched Status instead, or if you want to add Watched and keep this HD, you simply copy paste the section.
Main alteration to be made is the <visible> parameter and the PNG gfx to be loaded. Once done, you copy your new image control into listview.xml into the <itemlayout> section and at most do some PosX/Y alterations.

Started adding in coding for FullscreenVideoInfo.xml and changing the homescreen to include quick links to addons instead of the feeds.
