About the infoscreen, not really something I use myself really as most views I use have all the info "needed" in my eyes.
About rotating extrathumbs: Check out the Shade skin and see how it's done there. It's really nicely done and makes the view alot more dynamic and at the same time it's not "too much of a focal point of the view".
It is interesting how people browse their library's. I find myself steering towards panel and wall views with at least the title of the film displayed. I do like to see the sub plot in a panel view and maybe flags for the rating and source. I hate it when a view is filled with all the meta data XBMC could find. When I watch friends or family use XBMC they naturally use the info screen just as I do. I think when you reach a certain amount of movies most view's become useless unless you are navigating through genre's or playlists etc. One of the best yet crowded views that I admittedly love is aeon's old multiplex.
[Maybe erupted was a bit strong but as I said I love the idea of leveling the fanart with the poster. As for the rotating thumbs in shade I'll check it out, although I'm sceptical.]
