OFC. but if you don't think about configurability creating the design you will never reach a point the user is satisfied completely. Every user has completely different thoughts how "his" MediaCenter should look like. So we need to provide a platform where the user can come as close as possible to his personal taste. I'm a "fanart guy" I like to have as much pictures in background as possible, others want the software to look clean and easy. You never can add this to a single piece of code as long as it isn't highly configurable..

I don't think of this necessarily as part of MP1, more in a general point of view. Imho MP1 is dead and buried if it comes to "modern" features. As long as the skin engine is as it is now, as long as the code base is as it is now I think there is not much space for new features regarding design and usability. It's amazing how much talented people can get out of this "old lady", but there are borders no one can cross at all, I fear...
