I cant figure out how to get their descriptions to display. Edit: when looking at the views available, only Big List and Thumbnail are available.There should be a number of views for Adv.Launcher. I will be adding the info wall view as a view for add-ons, I'm just in the middle of making some changes to other parts of the skin so I can't commit it yet -- but it should be in soon.

I'm not sure what you mean by "title" artwork for rcb? Like I said before, the ones that I can see in rcb are: fanart, boxfront, cartridge and boxback. If it is one of those, then no I can't really do it because a lot of people wont have their rom collection artwork set up that way.
(2) it be cool if you go to the info view of a movie, then you press left and you go to the fanart screen and then you press up or down for the extra fanart? If I would press up or down in that screen, the season fanart is displayed.
(3) When I highlight a movie and press down, the disc art goes down (cool!!!). It would be if I press down again, the whole movie artwork goes down and only the fanart is visible.
(4) I just read in the AEON MQ5 thread that you now have the possibility to add movie themes to the movie section.
(5) Finally the home screen. When you are using your own set of backgrounds, in 'simple' mode the background is in full color, not in the soft arctic white, I think this is a bug.
(6) Also, the white bar in 'simple' mode at the bottom of the screen (the part containing the time on the right) is so empty and white. Is it possible to add something in here? The wheater or something?
2. I quite like this idea. The only problem is that the xbmc skinning engine doesn't provide a way to check if a physical file exists and extrafanart doesn't go into the library so there isn't any way to manually switch through extrafanart images. It's actually proving to be quite difficult to achieve this sort of functionality in a way that I'm happy with.
3. I also quite like this idea. However, it would have to be on up rather than down for two reasons: 1. I think most people access the view menu via pressing down; and 2. it would be quite confusing if you are trying to navigate to the scroll bar and suddenly everything disappears and all you can see is fanart.
4. I'l look into this. Didn't know that the tvtunes addon could do that now -- I don't really use it myself. I thought it was cool initially, but I ended up finding it really annoying and turning it off (its especially annoying when you have a random tvtune that is much louder than the rest for some reason...)
5. Yeah this intentional. I originally had the white fade here, but then lots of people complained about it. However, I'm inclined to agree with you -- I think it looks better and more consistent with the fade on the simple homescreen. However, to add it back in it will have to be optional because otherwise people will complain about it....
6. I've previously discussed why it cannot be transparent. If you turn on "Skin Settings > Home > Show profile image" it will show your profile name and image on the left side along with library information (e.g. when tvshows is highlighted, it shows how many episodes you have). I already have plans to add weather info there if show profile is disabled, I just haven't got around to it yet.

So when i use dark text logo's i can't see the logo's on the dark part and vice versa.
I hope this makes clear what i mean.
I already understood what you mean. What exactly are you suggesting I do about it? There is already an option to switch the osd colours between light and dark (Skin Settings > OSD > Use dark osd). I personally don't have an issue with the split colours in the epg-timeline because I avoid logos that have plain black or white text. The alternative is that you can add your own solid background to your logos.
