Description:
This modification makes Xperience compatible for the old xbox (midnight theme included).
Instructions:
1. Delete all files and folders in the /media folder of the Xperience skin EXCEPT the /animations, /custom images and /flags folders.
2. Copy the files textures.xpr and midnight.xpr from the download below into the /media folder of the Xperience skin. If you're using a SD TV you probably should download the "Xperience for Xbox - SD fix" package instead.

Xperience for Xbox with a small fix for SD TV (bigger yes/no dialog box):

Comments:
The textures in this texture pack have been downsized and compressed again, so as a result they will look uglier on an old xbox connected to a true HDTV setup. There's no way around this or else the stability will decrease significantly. But if you're using an old SDTV all of this shouldn't bother you at all.
To improve general stability and performance you should disable the logo ripple animation and the background starbust animation. To improve stability and peformance in the Movie Poster View you should downsize fanart and poster covers of movies to a managable size for the Xbox (I did this with the Ember Media Manager).
These are my recommendations, my Xbox works stable this way.
Bugreports and comments are welcome.
UPDATE:
I added a new version for SD TV users. This version includes a bigger yes/no dialogue box. If anyone with a widescreen HDTV encounters some anomalies with the yes/no dialogue boxes, let me know.
Many many many thanks to paul, who gave me advice how to resize the texture packs. Big Kudos to you, paul. =)
