I don't know if xbmc supports semi-transparent font borders, maybe some one else can help us there.
I may decide to darken the background behind that text a little, but theres alot of stuff to do before I go back to that.
I do plan to have the ability to customize backgrounds for the main screen and for many sub screens like music, video, pics ect.... I have a problem here though. I don't have a xbox and my computer is a mac. As far as I can tell, the browse feature on the os x port of XBMC doesn't work yet, so when I tell it to browse to let me select a wallpaper the screen comes up but it doesn't actually work.
This is my first attempt at a xbmc theme so I am learning how the scripting works as I go along. Once I get further along, I might try it under a linux distro to see if I can get the custom backgrounds to work. It was an option in the theme I am basing this one on but I have changed a lot of things in the script and it might not work right now.
Anyways, Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to base a lot of my changes on feedback that I get.
