simplistic and this modification of alaska:

seem to work pretty well for me. my setup is slowed up a bit by using a mysql database, but the menus are both very fast, just changing between views and getting into the tv show library or movie library is a little slow

Quite a few look and run well. Night has been good as well as aeon nox. My fav though is transparency.

my favourite is xTV SAF. It works perfect for me, is very quick and i like the look as it is similar to the frontrow Wink

Confluence Is by far the fastest. Only problem with xtv is that when I go in to movies it still brings up Tv shows

Check the one from my sig and post your findings regarding speed and usability, even if you decide not to use it.

ajnicho,

Do you have content set to TV for your TV shows? Are you using the SVN build from the Passion repo or the last 'official' (v1.0.2) build from a zip file?

If it's working correctly from Confluence, but not from my skin, that's a bug that I need to stomp.

Wyrm (xTV-SAF)

Confluence, Mediastream and XeeBo (love the simplicity & speed of this skin). For me, every other skin was causing a lag in the UI.

Quartz was causing lag ? Hardly possible.

@eTip,

absolutely no lag on ATV2 with xTV(SAF) skin. Maybe it's related to your configuration ?
