I sure hope that the camera angle side of this skinning-engine feature is still being worked on(?), I have to say I REALLY LOVE everything Apple done with all their "
Cover Flow" eye-candy feature in their skin...

Apple TV - Cover Flow under the music-section (non-centered album-covers):
Apple TV - Cover Flow under the video-section (DVD-covers):
Apple TV - Cover Flow under the pictures-section ("My Pictures"):
Apple TV - Cover Flow under their YouTube function (maybe XBMC could enable this under
python scripts via
WindowXML?)
Apple TV also have a very nice photo screen-saver which is based on the Cover Flow concept.
Basically photos from your library (or your album art collection) slowly scroll up the screen in different 3D planes, and then every 30 seconds or so, they do a quick 3D "swirl," ending back in their original location. A low-quality video of the screen saver in action can be found on YouTube here:
