This theme has been lurking on my box since it's release and last night I decided I would give it a nice run through. Let me tell you: AWESOME and you know why ? Becasuse it is actually designed with a 10-foot+ situation in mind (maybe unintentionally). I measn I only have a 32" HDTV and my couch is approx 4.5 meters away and all the other skins become hard to read with all the info they try to squeeze in. This one only shows the nescesary stuff and does it in a very nice way ! Sure there are things which I consider nice to have but all the basics are there and tbh very well executed.
So please do NOT add much more which would compromise it's readability.
Just 1 question: when you press up on the home screen buttons you will get into a little menu (say recent episodes) at the top it will show 2 little arrows (left and right) how does one select those or are they currently only placeholders ?

Thank you no these were there so you know to press left or right to get off the panels but when the beta 2 comes out I don't think much will change as I haven't done much in that area but then again I could work on it today will just need to see.

Great work! I'm using the Xperience on my living room HTPC and I keep getting comments on how nice it looks and how easy to use it is.
One minor annoyance I've found is that when you press the left arrow in Tripanel view to see the settings, esc won't take you out of that menu. In other skins that can make sense, but in Xperience the menu looks like a separate window that should be closed with esc.
I think there's a few other things that bothered me but I can't think of them right now. Overall this is a great skin though (especially for a first beta). I can't wait for the next update.

didn't see it covered in the changelog (i might be blind), but will the "moviesets fix" mentioned earlier be included in the update?
meaning: when you have a movieset in filepanel view it will display the movesets as "move set" instead of having it blank all the fields.
