having just built my new media pc, im looking at customizing my xbmc. I already have it to boot directly into xbmc from windows 7.
now im looking at making it look better and have a custom background and easy to navigate text to things like , music, movies, navi x, sports devil, ice film etc etc.
i use a remote and it seems to work really well with xbmc so i'd like to use this instead ofmy keyboard

could any you guys who have been using this for a while give me some pointers on the best way to go about this.
oh, and also, is it possible to have xbmc load my pc games ( far cry 3 etc ) directly from xbmc?
thanks

I use Aeon mq3 it looks real nice and has a few different themes to choose from.
Also it distinguishes between 3d and regular bluray in movie library.

xperience1080 strikes a good balance between ease of use and looks of good (hehe) - Aeon MQ3 is really nice to look at but I found it could get a bit confusing to navigate sometimes.

reFocus. Cleanest and easiest UI to navigate.

I like neon if you are looking for an alternative to confluence. Similar with tons more features, so easy to move to.

i couldnt either. i'm back to aeon nox which is ,of the ones i have tried so far, the most customizable one, to make it simple the way i want it. Bad thing about it that its performance isn't very good.
tried pretty much all mentionet in this thread. i'm testing Quartz now, looking good so far
