Guys, I'm back from vacation.
Please, post any other shortcomming/missing stuff so I can have a peek at it before I submit skin to the official repo.

Pecinko, I just wanted to say thank you. This is the perfect skin to go with my Apple TV 2.
Only thing I can think of right now is the current local weather displayed beside the time. This is a very very small thing, but would be nice to have.
Keep up the great work.

Welcome back. Here's hoping your vacation was pleasant and relaxing. Thank you for the great work on this skin.
I'm using this skin on my ATV2 and I'm trying to reduce the idle CPU %. So far I've found that if you modify Home.xml and add
[HTML]
<visible>system.getbool(lookandfeel.enablerssfeeds)</visible>
[/HTML]
to the rss control at the bottom, it will significantly reduce the idle CPU (assuming, of course, that you've disabled the RSS feed). I have no idea why a empty rss control spikes the CPU, but it does. Perhaps it's constantly repainting or something.
Also, editing Includes.xml and removing the animation from the clock will drop CPU significantly.
With these changes plus dirty regions enabled, my ATV2 is idling at 0% with a jump up to 7-15% every few seconds.

I am using stable build of dharma with atv2. Downloaded skin.quartz-1.03.zip and during install got "dependencies not met". This is what i have in the require in addon.xml
<requires>
<import addon="xbmc.gui" version="2.11" />
<import addon="script.favourites" version="2.0.0" />
<import addon="script.recentlyadded" version="2.0.5" />
<import addon="script.randomitems" version="1.0.11" />
</requires>
Any help would be much appreciated

Great job! I really like the skin. If I could change one thing it would be nice to have a separate column on the home window for the custom add-on favorites rather than have them clutter the other columns. Looks and runs extremely well on my ATV2. Thanks!
