New Mac-inspired skin preview

This looks awesome.

My only feedback is your icons on the main page. I'm not sure what all the icons are supposed to represent, but I assume the Quicktime, music note, and flower are supposed to be for videos, music, pictures; respectively.

What not use the application icons for iMovie, iTunes, and iPhoto?

The icons across the bottom are iphone/ ipod touch style icons. I wanted to have some kind of dock at the bottom, and personally, I like the uniformity of the iphone icons.

I hope this is still being worked on!

Any updates?

Yes it's still being worked on, discussion about it seems to be taking place here now and the Authors homepage is at http://web.mac.com/jnr1/Leo/Welcome.html

The OSXBMC has been forked and I think XBMC project asked them to pick a different name.

As for updates to the skin...

I have gotten a lot further, the website is actually outdated now but I've spent more time on the skin instead of updating it. I have been making a few post on the other forum but I will definitely post here as well when there is something to download.

There are one or two things I want to figure out before a release and some tweaking to do.

Testing it out on my hdtv now. As expected, there are a few things that looked great on my macbook pro don't work well on a big screen. I am making some changes to font size/ color, and some color changes in a few pictures. I hope to have a alpha release, not very polished but something, by the end of the week or beginning of next.
