Question (or you all could also take this as a challange) to CHI3f and the other xTV skinners;
is xTV only meant to be a Apple TV clone/replica or is it suppose to be something more?, (like what you think the Apple TV skin should have looked like). I like to suggest that you also copy the best parts from Front Row (Apple's response to Microsoft's Windows Media Center Edition, for Apple Mac, Mac Mini, iMac, and Macbook) and then also go beyond what Apple has done with their version, make the XBMC version better (better looking, more intuitive, and smoother animations, etc.), with skin feastures that do not existing on the Macs, but only in XBMC.

Again, I really think that a Front Row like animated carousel home menu would suit the xTV skin, see here:

Now those are very slick intro animations and transitions to and from the home menu
