It has nothing to do with GFX horsepower - it's the caching of thumbnails as you scroll back and forth. Cut out the upper and lower extremities of that angled wall view and you'll get the same average-decent performance as everyone else. Leave them in and it'll chug.
You'll run into one problem or other with all of those concepts. The wall views famously can't spill over the screen edges. The labels for the now playing box and listitem would overlap. The stuff you're suggesting for the OSD can't be done. A long and winding road of feature requests and compromises awaits. Still, nice ideas.

This is just the sexiest thing since Scarlett Johanssen! I'm absolutely loving the 3d wall view. Drooling for a chance to use this. Hope Djh gets a chance in his busy schedule to work on this. It's going to be a tough decision whether to use this or Stark!

It's definitely possible to a degree and I'll certainly lend a hand if the time presents itself. I'm thinking the lack of textures and fanart would have to count for something when it came to all those thumbnails. Still, though, I'd have to convince myself that the wall views could be done - code-wise, you're basically looking at the old Aeon Wall which you'll remember didn't work. But the idea of a gradient-based, texture-light skin is very appealing. I'll keep any eye on this, for sure.

Looks gorgeous, but why display navigation arrows?. Feels redundant.

Thanks for the comments all, I appreciate it. Do you guys like having info/description/list text on the left or the right side of the screen? What other views/screens would you like to see? Also, is the font big enough (I'm shrinking the images from 1080)? Any other suggestions/criticism?
Djh, and anyone else, if you ever have the time to code in the future then that would be cool. Just let me know and I'll finalize all the screens and upload the PSDs. Later on if there's time, I can make an interface mockup video in After Effects with screen animation suggestions (if you'd like).
