First, I'd like to thank you all for the feedback :)
some of the requests will be included as soon as I have enough time; most likely next week when I have winter holidays or even this weekend. It will be quite some work so please be patient ;)

I agree, sure thing. I think I'll leave Default reFocus and reAlaskaDark (perhaps also reAlaska) because I like them the most. the other ones will be removed, I'm sure most of them aren't used that often anyways.

I get an error message stating that the file is not in the correct structure. If I unzip the file and put the resulting folder in the addon folder of XBMC I can then use the skin. I am just wondering if doing it this way can cause any issues?
no, there shouldn't be any issues. the "git clone" method is de facto the same. however the zip installation should work. I'll take a look.

there are many animations left at the moment that need optimization (trim down to the key elements). It is on my todo list but it's not the first entry ;-)

not sure what you mean, because there is no .xbt in this skin. the home screen backgrounds can be changed pretty easily (Skin Settings->Customize Backgrounds). if you want to enable the option "use original wallpaper" on every view but instead use your own wallpaper you could just replace media/backgrounds/background.png
I won't include a 'change font colour' setting because the skin can't be >light< when there is such a very high level of customization. If you want to change the font colors manually you should take a look at the Defaults.xml file inside the "colors" folder (assuming that you currently use standard reFocus theme)
