I'm confused. Is this a side 'side' project? (considering the 360/metro inspired skin you appeared to be working on) Is it a favour for someone or due to popular demand? Why didn't you recreate the current boxee? (boxee alpha was a disaster)

Well it all works pretty well and I like the sounds.
Sadly I dislike the main page with a passion. It does not improve the user experience, neither is it easy or easier to use than say alaska or ellipsis.
Its probably symptomatic of why I never got on with boxee TBH. Any skin that requires the user to guess where anything is, is on the back foot in my house as I have a wife and two kids that use it as well.
But as said nothing is technically wrong it works well and its quite quick which is nice.

Nice work hitcher few things I noticed though
* None of the views wrap top to bottom or bottom to top. Intentional?
* No mouse pointer at all even though it should work pretty good
* The Recommended items are blank am I missing a script or its just not workin gyet ?

This is very odd.
1) I switched the skin to XeeBo and noticed that 2 thumbnails were missing on the homescreen.
2) I restarted XBMC, and now nearly all thumbnails were missing on the homescreen, including those that were working before I restarted.
3) I switched to Confluence and saw no thumbnail problems.
4) I switched to Alaska Revisited and saw no thumbnail problems.
5) Switched back to XeeBo, the same 2 thumbnails that were missing in step 1 was again missing.
6) Restarted XBMC and now nearly all thumbnails were again missing like in step 2
The logfile is filled with entries like this:
23:43:23 T:5408 M:2356768768 ERROR: Texture manager unable to load file: special://profile/Thumbnails/Video/6/auto-6526cd1e.tbn
Does anyone know if there's a thumbnail bug in the latest nightly build or is this a problem with the skin?

sialivi without looking at the code Its probably because it needs a git version of xbmc and your running dharma

I dont have any scripts and my recomended has started filling in once i restarted xbmc.
Noticed a bug with the RSS feed, when you open the left hand menu it scrolls over the logo and there appears to be a few pixels on the right hand side where it starts. My screen does have some funky overscan issues which i have to correct with XBMC so not sure if thats the prob though.
And the close option doesnt seem to work.
