Some suggestions:
- Startup playlist, in-skin like PM3.
- XBMC Lyrics selectable and usable within MusicOSD, like MC360.
- Shutdown timer warning: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=42652
- Current time on Video/Audio info.
Great work so far, really looking forward to this skin.

I like the presentation of default skin background selections.
- rwparris2 - 2009-05-13
Sorry to be a Negative Nellie, a Debbie Downer, etc, but the settings screen looks almost exactly like aeon's, but less attractive.
I think you guys can do better
(I should also mention that I could never do anything as attractive as the rest of the skin... so take my criticisms with a grain of salt)
Also, since it seems you're doing predefined backgrounds instead of custom ones, you might want to look at just making them available via different themes, a la xTV.

It's far better looking than Auriga in my opinion sure, it's similar but that's not such a bad thing. what's your thought's on view types for movies etc and will you be supporting genre posters as created by asphinx and digitalhigh as i currently use these in Auriga.
But i personally would really like to see something like the showcase view from HorizonV4 where the plot info panel slides into view when you pause on the movie poster or the other way when once you pause on the movie the whole screen changes showing all the fanart and a the poster plus the full plot info.... Heres hopeing...

OK here is an update on the custom settings page yeah it need some work but were wanting to know what options to put in first to fill out the space also custom backgrounds and multimages are in you press down on the background list bar here are some screen.
all suggestions are welcome thank you.

Well let's see in a side-by-side comparison i only really see the images as being similar however I would take any suggestions in to imind if you have any.
Those are not going to be the only background options. As I said it's just the beginning on the customization side. Our motto should be known as "Customize Your Xperience" and in that notion I am VERY serious. I have many things in mind for this you'll see.
@paul
The view you see is our "Default View" this view is exactly as it state our default
We do have another view for the Videos section BUT as it is incomplete I don't feel like showing it off quite yet. lol
Hopefully by the time of release those of you out there anxious to see this baby up and running, will be satisfied.

Woah!!! I want that "geek" background!
- Ayala - 2009-05-13
there's something nice and soft about this interface, i like the list view the most.
- XBMCG33K - 2009-05-14
Still looking for options you guys want in custom settings

ammm from the gnome HIG - http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/usabilityprinciples.html#keep-it-simple
"Your application should enable the user to concentrate on the task at hand. So, design your application to show only useful and relevant information and interface elements. Every extra piece of information or interface control competes with the truly relevant bits of information and distracts the user from important information. Hence, don't clutter your interface, and don't overload the user with buttons, menu options, icons, or irrelevant information. Instead, use progressive disclosure and other techniques to limit what the user sees at any given moment."

Well thank goodness I like clutter
j/k thanks for posting motyR but we're gonna keep on keepin' on.
