Hitcher, that works very well, great to see.
Lately, as my family have been getting more into using XBMC, I am increasingly conscious that the "submenus" e.g. in the Info screen, don't work very well IMHO. Unless you're a bit of an XBMC fanboy, who can tell that they're there? And how many of you have been in the submenu and press exit on the remote to get out (wrong!) which ends up taking you right out to the poster view again? And worse still, when you select the movie info again, you're still in the "submenu"!
Serious usability issues for the average joe schmo I think
There's plenty of screen real estate - why not some nice looking horizontally laid out menus near the bottom for the obvious ones like "Play trailer", to supplement the default select which starts the movie. And how about some subtle kind of visual cue to show that an arrow key, and which direction to use, will take you into a "submenu".
Just a few ideas to improve an already great skin. I really appreciate your dedication to this Hitcher.
