This looks great. I only have a few suggestions.
When I pull up Pandora the "Loading Script" text appears in the upper right overlapping other on screen elements and looks a bit odd. Also the navigating the home screen is a bit jarring. The window with the fanart just moves over left or right depending on your direction. Maybe some type of animation would smooth this out.
Otherwise this is an excellent skin.

Good to hear that banner.jpg support isn't going anywhere. I like having the option of switching between poster/banner/landscape views without having to redo all the poster/folder.jpg's. Really wish more skins took that approach.
On topic, TVTunes seems to work after a fresh start of XBMC for one show, then it kind of just stops working. The favorites window seems incomplete, so I'm assuming that's on the Todo list.
On the Home screen navigation. I've added two Favorites to the main menu. Which now pushed some items off screen to the right like Weather and Settings. However, there doesn't seem to be any visible clue that there is more options that you can navigate to. Like a little right arrow or something unintrusive that would give the family a hint that there is still more options that are just hidden from view.
Right now the last choice on the home screen is Addons. I know that hitting the right arrow will reveal Weather and anything else on the right, the less technically inclined might not.

nice, really polished, only thing i have noticed so far, is if a show doesnt have a logo no identifying name for the series is shown.

I tried the skin tonight and here 's my thoughts...
I like the concept, I think it is clean and easy to navigate
The biggest issue is that text is often too small and hard to read, even on my 65" screen.
I'm not a fan that the top half of the Home screen is mostly menu and a pic. I'd like to see the same menu but no more than 1/3rd of the screen being used. The rule of thirds (common in photography, advertising, etc) is a good concept IMO for UI design as it is pleasing to the eye/brain.
I'm not an expert but I play one at work.
