UPDATE: Cirrus 1.1.5
Download LATEST VERSION (Cirrus_1-1-5.rar): http://www.mediafire.com/?dd11kji2f6iy1sh
Download OLDER VERSION (Cirrus_1-1-2.rar): http://www.mediafire.com/?gvke2cd65ewddc5
I've done quite a bit of work on this since the last version, mainly a lot of polishing such as even spacing on all the media flags. Also have changed a few views a bit so that they are all different but retain a similar 'feel' throughout the skin. Hopefully people like it as much as I do!
I've changed the pics below to reflect the updated views...
Also, can anyone advise me about how to get this skin its own forum under "Skin Help and Support"? I think its time...

Changelog: 19-10-2010
- changed the look of fanart view so it fits in better with the rest of the skin (I must say I quite like it without the info displayed)
- Changed the look of rightlist view a bit, movies and episodes now display plot (I'm happy with these changes - views are starting to get a similar "feel" while still staying different).
- Changed rightlist from a fixedlist to a plain list
- Changed the look of Wall view a bit to fit in better with rest of skin
- Removed zoom animation from HalfWall and added a simple white border for selected
- Changed recently added yet again, now looks a lot better I think
- Changed position and size of now playing on home page so it doesn't overlay the recently added
- Moved the media scanning dialog yet again,also gave it a bit of a border so it stands out better

- Added much more consistent spacing to media flags
- Added diffuse to media flags on DialogFullscreenInfo (info that comes up during movie playback when you press i)

- Fixed recently added script error (note - this will now only work for dharma builds)
- Added <import addon="script.recentlyadded" version="1.0.4"/> to requires section of addon.xml
- Changed location of DialogSlider to the top (so the subtitles offset doesn't cover the subs, needs testing)

Changelog: 22-09-2010

- Moved music library sub-headings so they're the same as other sections
- Changed TV and Movies home menu so that they show UNLESS the "No TVShows/Movies" button is selected in skin settings (ie they are no longer hidden by default)

Changelog: 21-08-2010
