OK, but the one I was meaning to try is the one in this post as that should have the newer strings translated too.

I am working on another round of FanArt, geared a little more toward xbox + Mediastream users. All FanArt will be 960X540, showing almost no hint that it isn't 720.As I have said in this post I use the xbox with the MediaStream skin set up as it needs to be for the xbox and it plays videos no problem. As you mention in your post, the large fanart is what is causing the problem for most people, the textures in the theme are already toned right down in the lite theme. Maybe someone will be able to reduce them further once it's all on SVN but I doubt there will be too much more as we've already done a lot of work in this area.

The main problem isn't the settings, it's the fanart. You'll save far more memory reducing fanart than you will by messing around with the skin options.
As for using 0.95, that's a red herring. It might have worked for you then and still works for you now but there are changes and fixes that you're missing out on in v0.99 and some of them are reducing memory usage.
IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING TO PLAY VIDEOS ON THE XBOX, GO INTO YOUR USERDATA/THUMBNAILS/VIDEO/FANART FOLDER. RENAME ALL .TBN FILES TO .JPG AND THEN REDUCE THE RESOLUTION OF ALL THE IMAGES TO 960x540 (USE IRFANVIEW APPLICATION FOR BATCH CONVERSION). THEN RENAME THEM BACK TO THE .TBN
ALSO MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE LITE THEME, AND TURN OFF THE OPTIONS MENU IN THE SETTINGS
There are a couple of tutorials on setting up XBMC and MediaStream on this blog: gajitts.wordpress.com
