First is the media buttons. The current buttons appear too 'sharp' and the stop button is a bit too large.

Here are the original buttons:

And here are some buttons I made:

I have made the buttons more rounded as to match Kodi's icon style. (keep everything uniform).
There is also the side bar with the sharp media buttons. I can make icons for them if you would want to use them in the skin.
Everyone is free to use and modify these icons, here is the .psd file: http://bit.ly/21Qn2GP



The next thing I would like to talk about is the background images. There is a noticeable amount of banding. (common problems with gradients).
I have found this guide on the web: http://nomorebanding.com
It includes a photoshop action to help remove banding. I have done this with the default Estuary background it it looks heaps better. Although it is a larger file size.

It may be hard to see on some monitors, but here are some sample images of the bottom right of the background image:
With banding:

Without banding:

Here is my psd file with the modified background (default blue only): http://bit.ly/1RMjg1G

Please let me know if I could help some more. I can make more Icons and backgrounds.

I like that, also the banding issue is fixed. It looks very nice Wink

Where do I find the location to replace the icons?

Folder media/osd/fullscreen/buttons/ for OSD buttons and folder extras/backgrounds/ for backgrounds.
