The idea is to keep the look from other parts of the skin while having a really basic home menu. The menu would work/move in an AEON style, but instead of having the focused item in the center, it would be to the top left with transparency on the other list items. Having the bar at the bottom gives us some space to keep info about the latest items and perhaps also Now Playing info?If the Latest items use an animation, they can be really small when browsing the top menu, then when the user presses &quot;down&quot; they can grow very large to show more detail. Would be very cool if the F9/Info button could be used, so cover flipping could be possible like in Cover Flow. I don't know if the skin engine allows that for the Basic Home screen though. Perhaps a timed animation could work, so if you select one episode in TV Series menu item for example, waiting for 2 seconds changes the transparency so you see episode info displayed on a dark background behind the poster? Perhaps too flashy.Emph</blockquote>
