2) The only thing I really miss is a very good looking "movie browser in libary-mode" (the rest of the skin is so beautiful!). Right now i am using the List-view, but I am not completely happy about it. It looks fine until I choose to show info (from imdb), where I get unhappy. i think font size of the info is too big and I wish the fanart was more visible and also showed the dvd/br-cover in full. I guess what i am looking for is a fanart-view (because the list-view works great when i am not in libary-mode). In the past i have been using Hybdrid, and I think that view looks great. Also these pictures shows what i am looking for:

Is it possible to implement such a feature? It would make a great skin even better!
3) Is it possible to add multiple addons to a tile in the main menu? In my case, the Favorites are used for Online TV stations (different Swedish TV-channels) and I would very much like a tile to contain a submenu (or something like it) for my other streaming services (such as Youtube, ESPN, DailyMotion)
1. What favourite did you try to add?? It has to be a favourite that is a music, video or addon path/node
2. There is an option in Skin Settings > Fanart to show more of the background fanart. But those other things wont be happening in this skin, sorry. This skin wont have any skeuomorphic elements like cases, 3d, shadows or reflections. Also all the views need to fit within the area that the lovefilm view takes up so no full-width views - this is for multiple reasons: 1. to accommodate the slide between screens; 2. to allow the arrows on the side of views (arrows will be particularly important for mouse support in the future) ; 3. the context and view menu slides out from the side so the view needs to be able to push over to fit that. Finally, the skin is designed primarily for use with a remote from the couch so if anything the text needs to be bigger, not smaller. There are plenty of amazing skins that focus on having disc-art and covers and visible fanart - so if you want those things then use one of those skins.
3. Not really possible. There is a video add-ons tile enabled by default which shows all the video add-ons. That's the best I can offer really.

"pvr://recordings/-1/" is working fine on my end. I now see all recordings and no folders - awesome. The only glitch I still have is that in my case XBMC is generating the thumbnails (which is working fine in recordings view), but it seems that the widget container is not auto-updated, so on demand generated thumbs (like in case of a new recording that did not yet have a thumb) are not showing up until I re-enter PVR section and window is rebuilt. Is there something you can do about this on skin side or is it a missing feature in XBMC?
Excellent.
Yeah, thats just how the fill list function works - it only updates on window load or if the content tags change. I can think of ways to trigger the refresh, but the bigger issue is about knowing when to trigger it. Reloading it everytime the hub is focused seems a bit excessive to me. I'm not really sure what could be done about this because checking for changes on xbmc's end would cause excessive amounts of network traffic for internet plugins (e.g. filling a list from youtube trailers).

looks like a gif / png file.
is there a way to change that as well...?

I had the problem that i couldn't see those infos because the title of the movie or the epg title was too long.
2. It would be nice if the EPG Channel View had more than 5 lines at one page.
1. Yeah I've noticed this as well. Not too keen on putting the info elsewhere. I'm working on a solution that will keep it in the top but limit the size of the title label.
Edit... Just fixed it - title label is autosized to make sure finish time and elapsed/duration always fit.
2. I will probably change this also as I have had similar thoughts recently.

If there was some way to get a mix of random games (like a games playlist
) then I think it would be great, but I don't think there is unfortunately - so a hub would only show all the games of one section in order which defeats the purpose of the hub really.

Same for some of the icons like the circular arrow icons which are gray as well. Looks like I'd have to edit those PNG files? surprised the tiles aren't handled similarly to the topbar, which is also slanted.
Home tiles are customised within the skin. Skin Settings > Home Tiles > Customise > Click the Tile > Set Colour
Also, as locomot1f said. Check that you don't have "use theme color for focused tiles" enabled -- that sets all the tiles to gray and the focused tile to whatever the highlight colour is (default theme is blue).
The arrows need to be edited manually.
