Go ahead and use PMIII after all it is open source. Good luck making the skin.

There are some great ideas in amongst this interface but IMO there are some pretty ugly elements too. I personally dislike the way the "submenus" look at the bottom of the screen but that might just be me. |

I may change the submenus with a different menu style so you can choose atv look or custom to suit. for now i will be getting the skin as close the atv as possible (while keeping media flags and a few other additions) |

You may want to be careful about "ripping all the graphic files out of the firmware", as they may be subject to copyright, etc.

Hmm...I don't like the interface of Apple TV. I also think that Apple did in comparison to their other design-works a bad job...
It's just my opinon about that skin, but I think you don't need to rip simple graphics like these... |
