Sure it's been mentioned before but I'll add what I personally would like, for this great skin.
1) More transparency throughout the whole theme, the transparency of the main menu would be the most drastic change ideally IMO
2)Color variants, not a big change probably just have a option for the blue color glow to be changed to red/green/grey?
3) The iTunes visualizer is my favorite visualizer but I wish it could auto change from style to style (in the realm of different iTunes vis. styles) Also I can't pull up the on screen while playing menu found on the other visualizer styles.
4) Add albumstrip/filmstrip style to the options of library views (same or similar to the mod version)
5) Very minor detail, I like the watch/unwatched icons but can't stand the dark brownish tab they sit on. I understand this is used for film posters that are similar color to the icon. Maybe just a black version that looks less like a tab, could be just a circle or make the tab more transparent?
6) Icons need sprucing up IMO, I'm pretty involved in Mac GUI/Icon design, so I might be overly picky but spruced up icons couldn't hurt
As for usability this theme has possibly the best user friendliness of any theme I've tried (including horizons/aeon) That's why I'm using it for my family room htpc which has anywhere from 10-60 year old use. Thanks for taking the time, I know it takes a lot of work.
