Ok maybe I am a nasty English man but if you want more honest comments then here goes.
Now if I had not seen all of this before then I would think WoW, as it does look pretty good, and full credit to you.
Sad to say that once you have seen one slanted wall view, you have seen them all, mock ups can look so fantastic and you want to try them straight away, but having the same old skin, e.g confluence or back row rehashed will just become a bore.
Team Blackbolt took a year to design and program Xperience and it looks fresh, colorful and stylish, Shade and Welo are looking more polished and ready for example a TV station to broadcast.
The main thing is that you need to design for yourself, about what you want and what you feel is good. Hang the critics, ok maybe give me a lethal injection, a bit less painless, but some people will prefer one skin, others will prefer another skin, I am currently torn between the sexyness of Xperience, and the simpleness of Shade, but massively looking forward to the release of Welo.
All what I want is a reasonably proffesional design, but maybe colourful at the same time, user friendly, your TV show view is excellent as that is what most people are used too.
It is simple, it does the job, and it is colourful.
You have done an excellent job in your mock ups, but sadly not raised the bar apart from the TV view for the new 10.5.
Skins are still reasonably mocked up for the old xbox, and low spec machines, and also follow obviously the design guidelines for currently what XBMC can do.
I mean why think inside of the box when you can think outside of the box, having round rather than square, having triangles rather than round.
With a vast amount of digital content available nowadays, scrolling through a vast amount of data will soon be impossible.
I have 3 terrabytes, and that is not including operating systems hard drives, or the other hard drive that I have in my other computer,or the hard drive on the 360 or that of the iPhone.
I honestly have not stopped wanting to buy hard drives at the moment, the future is here today, and the past has gone.
Our houses will be filled with terrabytes of information, and more.
Apart from this carry on with the good work that you are doing.
