Nice work, its a nice simple and clean working of the original skin.
I have literally just played with it for a few mins so my first impressions are.....
1. Lack of text on title screen for icons, ie, as you scroll from movies, pics, games whatever, I would prefer some text to show me what im currently highlighting. If the design is led by having no text then fine, leave it be because it does look nice and sleek, but maybe if that was the thinking you could make the text look like part of the background rather than a small text in a brighter colour jumping out at you. you could probably use a large text but knock down the opacity, fade it behind the background, something like this (obviously I dont have the layers to do it properly but maybe you get the idea.....

also, just thought, never skinned for XBMC so not sure how they work but if it needed an animation or anything rather than the text just changing you could just slide it in from the left to a fixed point on the right for each one.
2. Any chance of adding more view's, i am liking the large views in xtv at the mo so you see album art nice n big.
Just my thought anyways, Other than that good stuff, like I say havent had a proper play around yet.
