Looks good! So much good mod work coming from Black's original skin. Will give it a whirl

Looks nice! Especially the views in the various sections are great. Will give it a try today...

any help would be appreciated
"i have installed the xbmc skin Experience 1080 and love it. I am confused about the "Ongoing TV Shows" though. As mine just displays a spinning wheel like its loading but nothing ever displays "

Just a stab in the dark but have you got any episodes in TV Shows marked as watched yet?

I just installed a fresh copy of the firmware on my pivos and the skin. I deleted all previosu data so no i dont beleive i have any tv shows as watched. Is that what "ongoing tv shows" is looking at? Watched episodes?

First impression after a quick review... Like it, readability is great as well as the views that have been added. Only I think that the frame that is used e.g. around the different tiles, icons and windows is a bit thick and too much 3D. Now the homescreen looks a bit like an Apple version of xperience. But of course that is a matter of taste...
Ongoing shows will give you pictures of show that you are recently wachting. Go to a show, start an episode and scroll to the end. Once you have one episode with a watched flag, xperience will add it to the Ongoing Shows section.

or highlight an episode, bring up the context menu and mark it as watched. Next time xbmc boots it will pick up that you have started watching shows.

Thanks everyone! There is still a lot to do until I'm completely happy with it, but I just thought I may as well share what I've done so far.
Thanks. I know what you mean by the borders. I really wrestled with the idea, but ultimately I wanted to create a sort of mashup of Alaska and Xperience rather than just a slightly more rounded version with a few tweaks and new viewtypes (also I think the "Rainbow" mod does a pretty good job of providing a lighter version of Black's skin). I do have a dark version without the thick borders, but it's not really finished enough to release and certainly not a priority.
However, I am thinking about removing the "gloss" overlay (the curved sort of highlight in the top right corners) on the tiles and posters etc. Or at least adding an option to turn it off, because I think I actually prefer it without.
