Very elegant skin. I have two enhancement requests that I'm hoping will be easy to implement:
1. Date format: To pick up the date format from the localisation settings. I'd like to pick up the Australian Date format dd, mmm, yyyy rather than the American default.
2. Customise LiveTV submenu: I'd like the ability to add an extra item to the submenu. The only way I can do it now is to manually create and modify a Custom menu option.

Hi Gade,
I've only recently updated to Frodo. TBH, I'm going to continue with Eden for a while. Frodo seems to be a bit laggy on OSX compared to Eden.
Regardless, could you possibly update the first post with a version of the skin that doesn't have the compressed textures.xbt file inside the media folder and instead just has all the files separately? The reason I ask is that I have customised little things in the GUI to my liking and would like to continue to do so in the future. I know Scarfa used to post a version like that in conjunction with a compressed version so that we could alter files and I'm assuming that's how you originally were able to continue updating his skin.
Many thanks in advance and a big thank you for updating this skin. It is hands down the cleanest and nicest looking XBMC skin out there.

Hi Christian,
One more think I noticed last night. Under "Live TV", if you have both the "Currently Recording" and "Upcoming Recording" labels displayed they overlap one another (that is, you can see both blended together in overlapping text). Looks like the skin needs a check to see if both are active and to reposition the other one accordingly.
If you can point me to the file to look at I could always try to have a play with working out and/or testing a fix for you.
Thanks
Michael

Unzip it, then just drop it in the addons folder and reboot the machine. After that, go to Appearance and select the skin from the list.

Hi Gade,
I am a long-term user of this brilliant skin, thanks for keeping it updated!
I think the problem with the "Sort by" option in the VIDEO section is still persistent. Here is some of my observations:
* The sorting order can be successfully changed in the MOVIES and TV SHOWS section, but not in the VIDEO section (at least not always)
* If a particular directory under the VIDEO section does not have a content type associated with it (Menu->SET CONTENT-> This directory contains: None), then the sorting works fine.
* As soon as you associate a content type with a directory the sorting gets stuck at the last selected option.
An ugly workaround which works for me if I need to change the sorting order is to set the content to None without removing the items from the library, change the sorting order, restore the content type and skip refreshing the library.
Hope this info helps to fix this bug...

I'm on a ATV2, and from what I remember, it was quite a bit faster in earlier versions. One thing I always look for in trying out better skins, is the ability to minimize the amount of eyecandy, since the ATV2 is quite limited in hardware. And one thing that could make the responiveness seem less sluggish, is being able to disable the animation of the "file marker".. you know, that shows what file you are currently looking at. Small things like that could hide the feeling of limited hardware.
