I also vote V2.

I've not been overly fond of the PS3 UI, but you're really making it look beautiful. Loving all the progress updates on this.... Really nice work, man.

Just updated the first post with a video preview (in 720p!) of the home screen in action.

I'm getting there! Enjoy! Wink

It's been a balancing act with the font size. To big and the interface starts to look clunky, to small and you can't read clearly from 10ft.

Hopefully it's about right however i may reduce the size slighty.

There's a few tweaks to home screen that i'd like to make, however they depend on some skinning feature requests i've submitted.

One of them is to allow the vertical lists to carry on above the horizontal XMB bar when scrolling up, as shown in the mockups.

You don't need any special features just use a fixedlist with empty space where the bar goes in the focusedlayout.
