Great that you are so responsive to the feedback - basically adding more and more features on the fly! But hopefully the moving target won't delay you too much - I must say I am looking very much forward to seeing the outcome :-)
A thicker font is a good idea. On the current black background the thinner font works fine, but if I understood it right your next version will allow users to choose a picture as custom background.
I am running Nox on Apple TV 1st generation and it's very smooth!

OK guys, it's finished. New icons will have to wait...
I tested it as far as I could, but there are a few parts of Xbmc that I don't use and, frankly, I'm very tired. I have both 10.1 and pre 11 on my machine, quite a mess on my NAS, 28 skin versions scattered on HDD.. so help would be appreciated.
Any of you willing to test it a bit, just to make sure that at least major bugs get smashed before it goes public? If so PM me. I'll try to make a repo in the meantime.

Testers,
according to my testings, new release should perform smoothly on ATV2. Please, post your findings about possible speed bottlenecks and I'll see what I can do. You can try experimenting with disabling views and choosing system font in System/Settings/Appearance/Font to squeeze out maximum.
Thanks, P.

Thanks Pecinko, it's beautiful! The custom background allows users to give some personal flavour to this great skin. With the thicker font selected, the text remains nicely visible against the background image! Also I like the fact that the shortcuts are now per section, allowing users to put many more than just 5 altogether.
One thing I noticed is that in the OSD, I couldn't anymore get to the settings for e.g. sound (to change the language of hide subtitles), but I found out that's because I switched to Kiosk mode. Does the Kiosk mode actually have any other effects?
