We want a list of peoples favourite view types, so can I ask that you guys post a screenshot and description of your favourite view types and why it's your favourite, then we can use this information to make the view type for ellipsis.

The plan is to get as many favourite view types into the skin as possible.

Hi,
I am using Ellipsis on my ATV2, and I absolutely love it. I am a big fan of plain, black theme, with icons instead of words. Was looking for UI similar to PS3 (or any Sony Bravia), and this comes pretty close (within the limits of XBMC).
I have a couple of features I would love to see in this skin.
- When browsing the add-ons (or even sources, anything on that level), I would like a 2D grid on a 'Wall' (what some other skins call that view). Instead of a horizontal scroll 'tiles'
- When the number of items becomes large (like the movies, or songs etc), I like the List (or even the hybrid list) mode. I do not see it in 'Video' mode.
- In the list mode (in Music section), can you display more lines, instead of just 8.
- if number of items are more than a pageful, can you display a scroll bar too?

Thanks in advance. Keep up the great work.

Just discovered this skin tonight and so far loving it...

Just had 2 suggestions (unless I missed the options)

1) Basic colour changes, maybe the option for blue, red, green, silver etc...

2) Wide banners for TV shows. All my banners are wide so, when in my TV shows, the portrait/poster style thumbs don't really work.

More interested in wide banners than colours.
