Heh, Da-anda, that movie tile background is a legacy background from Lightbox. I actually removed it from the skin for the very reasons you speak of. The overlay I added makes the images much dimmer than they are without the overlay, however they aren't anywhere near as dark as they are in Immersive (I am hovering around 60-70% transparency I believe).
TzirSora, I would be happy to take a crack at those two views. Honestly, if you (or anyone) wants a particular view and there is enough support behind it, I would be more than willing to try and integrate it. The whole point of this skin was to recreate my favorite views from several skins (that fanart view is from ronie's Transparency!) with a unified visual style, so as long as it fits the metroTV style, I will do my best to oblige.
Username145, that view is included, although heavily modified as an episode view (You can see it in the screenshots. It has Batman: tBatB on it). I will however be developing a view much closer to that version for a Song view. I have always preferred skins with greater fanart visibility, hence the design of this skin and the changes to the episode version of that view.
Oh, and yes, there will be more color themes available starting with Beta. The first will be the Lime Green color as a tribute to Tree_Jammer's Lightbox skin, however I have several more planned.

I am planning on releasing the Alpha build tonight. In this build most of the work has been done on the Home, Settings, Movies and TV show areas. The Music section is skinned however the number of views is currently limited and several things are likely to change. I haven't done any work on the Pictures section as of yet. there will be more details when I post the release.

Very odd. What version of XBMC are you guys using? This was built using the Eden release.
