You can change the opacity of the fade and the floor by altering the colour scheme you use in skin.arctic/colors -- there is Mod_Overlay_Dimfanart and Mod_Overlay_Floor -- the colour scheme files are in ARGB so the first two characters are the alpha channel in hex. Although this will change it skin wide. You can also turn off the fade for the simple homescreen only by adding the following to your guisettings.xml (in xbmc userdata folder) under the skinsettings section -- make sure you exit xbmc before modifying it as xbmc tries to overwrite it otherwise.
2. Idea: An option to disable the text scrolling.
3. Idea: An option to disable the change of the first letter in the top bar.
4. Idea: An option to disable the black background when for example an YouTube stream is loading.
5. Idea: A new template for the menu icons to show the last added files.
6. Bug: When I had opened for example the Youtube addon, go back to the home screen and select "Movie => Files" I get to the YouTube addon again where I have to go one screen back to select the hard drive.
7. Bug: When I want to add a new sub menu icon and select "User defined" the mouse cursor is locked to the input field and I can't use the left/righ/up/down of my remote control to get to the virtual keyboard.
8. Bug: While watching a movie/stream and pressing O for technical information, some lines of this info are above each other. But it's perhaps only a problem in combination with Gotham.
9. Idea: Add the new option to configure the new Setting Level introduced with Gotham like descibes here
Code:
<setting type="bool" name="skin.arctic.home.simple.fade">true</setting>
3. Can't really see this as being something that a lot of people would want and I'm trying to avoid adding too many additional options (there are already quite a few!) so unless a number of others request this then its going to be a no.
4. I'm guessing you are using the dark theme and talking about the fade overlay behind the loading panel -- answer is the same as 3.
5. There already is -- 'New Movies' or 'New TVShows' etc.
6. This is to do with xbmc not the skin
7. This is also to do with xbmc not the skin -- Enable "Settings > System > Input Devices > Remote control sends keyboard presses"
8. Probably to do with Gotham. Looks fine for me.
9. I will be starting proper Gotham work soon.

I rarely use the shortcuts, but always use the New Movies/New TV episodes panels. It would be a nice-to-have to be able to set panels as the default option, and have the shortcuts appear when pressing up arrow a second time.I know its not quite what you want but you can enable the "show submenu items on click" option in skin settings > home. With that on for the simple home, up goes straight to the widgets and clicking the category opens the submenu. This is what I use and I just set the first submenu item to the category.
I'm going to add an option soon that will disable the power menu (that you get by pressing down). Enabling that will change the navigation of simple home so that down opens the submenu and up opens the widget.
