I just updated the skin and read from the change log that it requires a nightly build of XBMC. Personally I've thought these releases of Alaska Revisited to be "stable" at least on some level, and it would've been nice if you would've branched this nightly thing to a new skin and not just "surprise surprise" change it all of a sudden.
Hitcher, what is the motivation behind requiring a very unstable nightly build for the newer versions of this skin? I am guessing you made some new cool feature that requires a cutting-edge property from XBMC, but I couldn't find the reasoning behind this. I noticed that you mentioned something about new home styles, but I couldn't find any description or pics of them.
So please, what is the major benefit as a skin user in hopping into a nightly build of XBMC and the latest Alaska Revisited? I've been having some stability issues on my setup and I'm very reluctant in installing a nightly from my previous experiences. Unless this is bringing something extremely awesome, I have to roll-back to the 2.7.6.
Cheers for the awesome continued development of Alaska!
