Been very busy so not much time to do any updates...I made some quick fixes for the showing of the flags with the darker background selected, also the popup messages should now be readable. Finally I updated the programs list view for the darker panels.
I aim to have a look at all the reports in the next few days.
Thanks again. Take your time.

Edit: I recently played a little bit with different backgrounds/wallpapers. The melt with arctic skin caused a significant alteration of the transitions and colors compared to the other mods I had used before (Xperience1080+, Rainbow.mod, etc.) and so my wallpaper somehow did not seem to harmonize with this design anymore. I had a hard time to find a suitable one, because the colorful backgrounds did not seem to adjust to the clean layout of the skin and the colors of the tiles whereas the less colorful ones did not go with the all too bright or all too dark menus, or they just felt boring. The problem was intensified by the levels of transition that new skin is offering: If you let the background shine through too much (with show "darker background") the screen seems "overloaded" on the one side, and on the other side too dark for also using dark menus. If you use the regular transition instead (or even "show lighter background") then it seems a littel bit too pale and whitish and therefore turning on the dark menus delivers an all too strong contrast wheras the white menus feels boring (and all too white then).
Well, I now found a proper background that - for me - perfectly fits in with the regular transition and "dark menus" enabled. And since it is installed I have to admit that I am not as unsattisfied with your color-structure anymore as I might have sounded before. However, I still think It needs some minor adjustments and harmonizations (kind of "standardization" of the colors in use).
Btw.: I noticed kind of a bug (or is it a feature?): I use different colors for the tiles, among them "grey" for the Settings-Menu and "black" for Programs-Menu. But the black tiles do not really look "black" but more like a slightly darker grey. And they are the only ones(!) who become even darker (but also not "black") when selected. All other tiles (grey, red, blue, green, cyan etc.) do not change their color when selected. So if the darkening of the "black"-tiles is supposed to be a feature then you should implement that effect for all the other colors as well :-)
Edit 2: Just upgraded to OpenElec 3.1.0 and realized that some fields (like Device-Name etc.) in the OpenElec settings have now black background with black fonts - meaning text is unreadable then. Haven't checked if this also applies to other sections of the XBMC settings menu.
Edit 3: Another bug: When trying to enter a network folder which is protected (e.g. to add a new network source for movies or music) the popup window to enter username and password does not appear. Somehow it seems that it is blocked in the background.
