For me, on my main PC, Aeon Nox for the "bling" value.
On my ATV 2's, reFocus - super fast and smooth and a nice interface

I used to like Aeon MQ3 but unfortunately it has become bloated and now very slow.
Can anyone recommend a fast skin which is still visually appealing?

...is the best i've seen so far. Just watch the video.
I came over Alaska, Aeon Showmix, Refocus, Neon, MQ3 to that skin.
For now it has some features, that i won't miss anmymore.
The home layout has 'On Deck' for ongoing tv-shows and beside the recently stuff there are random picks out of your library in any category.
It takes some time to fill up ur personal homemenu, but it will pay off.
It is not as shiny as the mq3 but the usability is fantastic.

ReFocus is the best skin.
There are a couple of things I don't like...no 'watched' ticks, and some confusing toggle logic. But apart from that it is very good...aesthetically and ergonomically it is ahead of most skins. For me the purpose of the GUI is to find movies/TV shows to watch, I don't want a million different tiny text on screen or snazzy animated graphics distracting my eye.

So many great skins out there that can be customized to your liking, I would actually recommend trying them all out or at least most of them.
Skinners and devs poured a lot of hours into them, so give em a chance ^_^
As for me? Confluence, reFocus, Xeebo, Transparency, Eden Shade, xTV, Aeon MQ3
reFocus is my favorite, the others are awesome too.
PS: I'm going to be looking at XeeBo and Alaska next.
