To be honest, I would prefer that skinners have the ability and flexibility to determine what the 'Coming next' screen looks like.
I, personally, wouldn't want something like the image that SteveB posted. Nothing against him but it just doesn't suit the ideas I had in mind when creating the skin for reFocus. I also tend to steer away from the whole ClearArt feature but that's only my personal preference and I know some people do enjoy that sort of thing.
This is why I would hope you'd consider allow the skinner to do what they will with that screen as with the other screens of PseudoTV.
As a possible way to accommodate this, we could add another group control similar to what is currently in place for the information screen. We would substitute the JSON call to use the notification for a visibility change on the new group control via timer again similar to the information screen.
On the subject of the image I previously posted, that would be an example of what the 'Coming next' screen would look like when using reFocus. For the default skin it would have a screen suitable for that skin.
