Love the new version of Quartz! 
You totally mimicked the ATV2 feeling, not a bad thing at all. Snappy too! Awaiting Fanart mixed into the overall experience.
A very good idea to show the number of unwatched episodes on each TV Show and Season. And using the blue shiny symbol on unwatched episodes took me a minute to adjust too, and now i love it too! You pretty much nailed it
I would prefer though for the TV Show "watching" -thumb, on the Home Screen, to be the Season poster instead of the Episode screenshot. I think the screenshots look so alike, and I have to use a few brain cycles to decode which TV Show it is
I think Movies and TV Shows on the Home Screen should be selectable directly, seems kind of redundant to have to choose Movies or TV Shows from the sub-menu of their respectally equally named categories. Alternatively the sub-category version should be named differently; e.g. Library, Catalogue, Choose.. or something. I'm running out of fantasy here....
On the Weather page the name of the city should be shown more prominently.
On Programs there is a redundant step before you reach your programs, a no-use screen that has only one option has to be selected (program add-ons) before you reach your programs.
From all the add-ons there are many steps when I press 'back' on the remote. I would like to just get to the Home Screen right away in one 'back' -click. Is it possible to have a button on the ATV2 mapped to go directly to the Home Screen no matter where you are?
On the movies I would like a 'Tick' when it is watched, because most are unwatched. There should be an option choosing between 'ticked' for all watched and blue shiny symbol on all unwatched (they don't need to be mutually exclusive either, maybe some weirdo wants both turned on at the same time)
For the Movies section I like more the sliding "posters-view", with fanart in the background. Is it possible to implement this without making it heavy on my ATV2?
And again, thank you very much for this fantastic skin!
