It looks great on the xbox with the new v0.20 mod, but no pictures are showing on the home screen, it's just black. I'm running it on 480p with 36MB free memory which is a lot more than I expected for such a gorgeous skin.
Since this is for the Xbox, I have some suggestions to make it even more xbox friendly. Instead of Exit XBMC, you could have it become Restart XBMC since, in my case at least, when choosine Exit XBMC it just goes to a black screen and isn't very helpful. Also, I'm probably going to change one of the buttons into Games and point it towards my emulators and Xbox games. I'd also put the Info button back in the right thumb menu since I check the free memory quite often and would be able to do that without leaving wherever I'm at to go settings and look at it.
Finally, I'm going to put a button on the right click and add the File Manager so that I can still watch a movie while using Navi-X to download a movie or updating Apple Movie Trailers or running any script so that I'm not just staring at a loading screen while waiting.
I completely understand if you don't add these suggestions, but I thought I'd throw it out there since that's what I'm going to do to make it even more geared to the Xbox.
Thanks again for the awesome skin!

Hi,
I noticed 2 quirks.
1) if you disable the settings menu in the skin options there is no way to get back into it, it would be nice if the settings would be available through the menu item too (this is more hidden and thus not so obvious for dumbo users).
2) I use the multi image option but although it shows the different images in the skin settings dialogue and within the menu item itself it does not work on the home screen for TV shows and Movies and Videos (all the other menu items work fine)
I also have an question; my biggest negative off XBMC is that you cannot have multiple libraries. I have different movie directories for Kids Movies, HD Movies etc. I don't want to mix these. The way I address it today is that the scan into library feature is only enabled for my main library. The other Libary I access in file mode through the video menu. But with this skin, if Library mode is enabled for movies it is also enabled for videos (and vice versa when you choose file mode).
Is there a way to change this ? I would love to have a seperate menu item for my kids movies that would go straight away into the file mode Kids Movies source.
Thanks in advance
