Last year, before I could release this skin, my PC died and I thought I'd lost the release version. Anyway, I recently was digging through an old thumb drive and I found one of my earlier versions, so I started working on it again. I think this is up for an early beta release, so here it is:

If you're interested in a "minimal" skin with some nice transitions, please give this try, and let me know of any bugs. Also, please feel free to mod away. The screens on page 2 of this post are from the version I lost, but this is pretty close and I will continue to work on it to add the new XBMC features and kill bugs, etc. This works quite well in pre-Eden and Dharma builds. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the skin.
Old initial post - [i]I'm not sure how much interest there will be for this skin, but for anyone who has seen the PopBox (http://www.popbox.com/blog/?p=92), this will be familiar. Although the PopBox hasn't lived up to the hype, I think the mockups of their intended UI are really very good. So much so, that I've been "inspired" to port it to XBMC. This is a pre-alpha release, and so expect bugs a-plenty. However, the Music, Photos and Movies sections are just about fully functional. Home has only the basic menu, no widgets as yet. I would really like to hear comments, ideas, critique, etc., anything useful that will help me get the skin up to snuff.
The top menu is currently accessed by using the left arrow and then the up arrow. You can switch to different sections without ever going back to the home screen
