I like the idea butcha - i think it has potential. you certainal have the skills to be able to pull it off. how do you envision library browsing (music movies and tv)?

personally I'd use large icons for each cell instead of the hard to identify background image - they are way to complex for the size and the font is too "shy" to compensate that. Just my personal first impression.

Oh very nice. Great idea. Would be awesome if you could call home menu from wherever you are (overlay).
I could even see a semi transparent OSD in this style working very well.

I like the idea Butcha but don't think having a straight block of color for the overlay works for it. So I had a little free time and figured I'd play around a little and came up something like this...
-Movies.jpg "Full sized picture")
-Pictures.jpg "Full sized picture")
Thinking some more on it, there are some really killer animations that would work perfectly for this skin idea. With <WindowOpen> and <WindowClose> unfocused tiles could appear / disappear at random intervals. Things like the clock, now playing info, etc could fade in when there isn't any user activity.

Thanx for your feedback dudes ...
Yeah, have some nice ideas in my mind
The color block is done with colordiffuse, the user will be able to choose whatever he likes
Animations and fonts is something i'm working on ... these are no mockups, it's already coded
I'm faster with notepad++
