Looking forward to that! I love a minimalistic skin. I sure hope the fonts will be readable on a 82cm PAL screen (unlike Aeon/Horizon).

I don't currently have any other screenshots that are for sharing at the moment but hopefully there will be something in the next few days.
As for fonts and screen sizes, this skin is designed around a 720p/1080p target audience and am not currently planning on releasing loads of resolution and font options for it so there probably will be users who will need to mod it in order to get it to work for their particular screen desires.

Great news! Thats the best way to do it.
We users would sure like to test an alpha or beta version, but the truth is that it only makes our excitement grow a little weaker.
The MediaStream example you gave is perfect. Releasing a finished skin is the way to go (even if it takes a little longer).
I will hate myself for saying this, but I'm glad you won't release any alpha or beta (even tough I would not be able to control myself if you did
)

Can't wait for this...
To me, this is the ideal skin. Not too much info to mess with, just the necessities on screen. I hate seeing an IMDB plot synopsis of a movie I've seen 20 times on screen that looks to be written by a 2nd grader...and as much as I like Aeon and have used it, I could care less what studio made what movie.
And it shows off fanart! Keep up the good work.

whats the estimated release date for this..
i love the whole clean aspect. i feel its much better than all of the cluttered big text and menu themes.
have you thought what a default background would look like aswell? eg. if theres no fan art for a particular film.?

I live what you're doing with this skin.
