Now that XBMC is mainstream on multiple platforms and stabalizing on each of those platforms it seems each persons needs will be a little different. Is it feasible to 'integrate' other applications into xbmc and use xbmc's skinning engine to make it as seamless as possible? Any ideas on how to pull this off?

What do you mean exactly? Huh

I think what he means is using XBMC's skinning engine to provide some sort of frontend for other applications. Which would be pretty cool. I would love to have a frontend for utorrent inside XBMC for example. But I'm sure it wouldn't be easy.

Are you talking about python scripts and WindowXML? Huh

What EXACTLY would you like to achieve? Give examples.

Don't want to threadjack, BUT, I'm pretty sure torrent-x (there are other torrent controllers too) can control uTorrent inside XBMC, but I couldn't get it to save my settings, and also never really saw the point in it except to notify me when downloads started & finished, but it didn't do that (or I couldn't get it to). Maybe I'll re-examine it later.

i'm guessing an example of what he means might be something like firefox. for instance, my HTPC also doubles as a living room desktop, so it switches between running XBMC and being used for web browsing. some sort of integration between the two (I currently have them running on different Workspaces in Ubuntu) would be sweet.
