This looks very nice and maybe I would use the Default Skin. But I think we need a Basichome Editor Plugin like StreamedMP for the Default Skin. So you can change the Video Tab to the Movingpictures Plugin for example. It must not have the big Features like the other Basichome Plugins, but it should have the important Features.

Yes I quite like the look of it! Looks a bit more professional and classy than the current one although still not keen on the basic home icons personally, then just look a bit 'clunky' to me but it's definitely a move in the right direction, good work!

Word for word what I was thinkink too! But a step in the right direction...
I would go in a direction without those icons, keeping it simple, classy with text, work on some part to make them more classy too like for example stars in my movies are too big, and the yellow color for the text is I hope an accident...

So what colour do you suggest for movies already viewed?

Something that goes with the theme, maybe darkish blue? I'm not using it so I only see the screens, but I see you have a lot of cyan - light blue so if unwatched list is light blue, then a darker blue for watched? just my thought...

Just uploaded a new ZIP file to first post.
Changes:
* New font Segoe UI
* Reduced font sizes in general so that you are not "knocked down" from the big letters
* Better positioning of date/time and header/selected item labels
* Fixed World Weather for latest version 0.4.0 from today
Comments welcome (and needed!)

Well, the yellow was a very deliberate choice, and it is clear at a distance what is and what is not watched. The trouble with making it all fit the scheme is that some skins have a rather subtle colour difference between watched and unwatched.

I cannot find the new Segoe UI font..... ?

I was going to drop the DefaultWide fonts.xml into the old Default (4:3) so see how things fit. I might take some time and try to get the smaller fonts to read legibly on my old 32" NTSC 4:3 TV. (lower resolution than PAL)

In my opinion this new version of the Default skin is too dark in the overall feeling.
