Loving the theme. Looking forward to hopeful eventual add-on support. And I didn't think I would like being limited to one view but it looks great.

I love the design choices you've made. It really works well across the board.
Other than the lack of a watched/unwatched indicator, it's pretty much a perfect skin

Looks amazing and works really good for an alpha release! Love it!
Generally I would say the the fan art in both the home menu and in the TV shows and movies views is to dark. Also the posters of the movies that aren't selected are also too dark. You can barley make out what movie it is before going over it.
The music viz is amazing! The video OSD is disappointing tho. Doesn't look as good as the rest of the skin. The green gradient is not good looking imo

This is really magnificent stuff!
I was worried when I started using it on my low-powered nettop (Shuttle XS35GT V2) as it stuttered between transitions on the home screen but realised the fanarts you have packed with the skin are a bit heavy for this system. Redirected to a set of section-specific jpeg images and the home screen is a lot smoother.
Would really like to see 'watchlist' functionality somewhere in the skin, is this something you have planned?

I have to admit, without sounding negative. My screens are perfectly calibrated, and I've tested the skin in a few different rooms (just to be sure) I found, from a practical point of view the icons to be a bit small, and the fact that are shaded makes them very hard to see from a slight distance. It doesn't really bother me... But when I think about it... I have something like 1,200 movies, and to have to scroll over every single cover to see exactly what it is makes for a very long and slightly frustrating task to find something to watch.
I think this is why I was drawn to the refocus skin, the thumbnail view is fantastic, it's simple, thumbnails are clearly visible and big enough to see at any distance, it's proportionate and shows many titles to a page. Very practical.
Not being negative, and again it doesn't really bother me (yet) but I think after the excitment wears off it will. Just my thoughts.
Oh, and +1 for watching indicators (if not on your to do list already)
Cheers,
Loggio.
