Really nice concept! I love the grayish background with the colored text. Keep up the good work!

I played around a bit with the listview and made a working copy(apart from the menu under "MOVIES", and some texture differences). Some issues.. The Title field is way to short for any movie with a longer name. It looks quite ugly to have it scrolling, so I made the field cover the rest to the left, which makes the place for the cover very small.
Another issue is with the genre field, movies rarely have only one type of genre to them so that field also scrolls.
And to the final issue, the rendering of fonts that are tilted are quite ugly. Straight blocky fonts become comic sans. And moves a bit "squiggly".
Navigation wise I can not see any problem though, this is apparently just a tilt of 11 degrees and that felt totally ok.

Everything I've seen XBMC do on an angle has looked somewhat jagged. It must be something with the engine. It's why I never use the "flow" cover panel views in most skins.

I remember a bug in the GUI/video initialization that had FSAA enabled all the time - preventing smooth playback on lower IGPs and GPUs like Ion and others.

I just tried enabling it, and sure it looks better for images, but it didn't help that much for fonts
