The constant fading to background on switching items is driving me nut's. Can't the previous text/thumb be displayed untill the new one is loaded? Not sure if the skin engine supports this, if not think that is something we should correct.
If you navigate quickly through the list then you don't want small delays every time it loads the thumbs & text so we put a delay in to avoid this. If you take that delay out you'd see (especially on the xbox) that the navigation is a lot jerkier.
It would be good to keep the old thumb on there until the new one has loaded but since it is based on the ListItem.Thumb (which is the current position in the list) then as soon as you move that reference has changed to the next item. I guess you could get around it by having some sort of PrevListItem.Thumb but that would be a pretty significant change to the skin engine I would think
