So, not a lot of news atm I'm afraid. I have taken the pace of things a little bit. Sometimes I get this strange urge to actually use my skin/xbmc instead of working on it all the time
As it stands now, I don't expect to release a new version soon. There's several reasons for this, one being I will be leaving the XBOX platform behind me soon as I have ordered an htpc. This means my personal interest will be shifting to an HD version of Focus. Some work has been done on this already. The HD version will be driven more by my own personal taste and preferences. Maybe I will be backporting the changes to the SD version at some point but I am not sure about this.

The eye disappear and never re-appears, I mean when I press it I can go left and right to choose the viz I want and then I wait a few seconds and it gets chosen, its after that it poof gone.Yes, the vis controls are incomplete. So are the dialog windows like vis select as at the time of working on them XBMC would crash constantly when having the vis active making it undoable working on them.
Something else I thought about was, when scrolling through the viz's the text is quite big and doesnt really fit in that small place.
Lovin' it thought

I'm quite happy with the font though. And it was quite a task finding an open source font that I liked so I don't plan on changing it.
Anyway those were my first impressions, good stuff

Topfs2 Wrote:@JoerenThanks, those are nice additions
Just a FYI:
If you want to have more controll over PowerManagement done on other plattforms than XBox, these have been added to beta1

Note that these are perfectly backwards compatible with XBox branch.
