"Main problem is to choose nice colors that match to each other (and for me this is the most difficult part, as I'm no designer"!)
You had me fooled for more than a year, since the Rising. Great work. That green theme is really sweet. It would be nice if you could finish it.
About colours that go together; I once heard a designer say that nature is very good at creating colour schemes. If you want a good scheme just get a good photo of the landscape and use the colours from it. If she is correct, then other colours for the Green Theme could be obtained from a photo of spring, which often has a blue green theme from clear skies and green shoots.

AW: Reflexion skin (work in progress)
Good thing is, that it does import PhotoShop .psd files and converts this to .xaml.
Furnibird designed the layouts, I implemented the matching xaml screens. All work was done on base of the default skin with modification of styles! This is a huuuuuuuge advantage over MP1's way of skinning.
I used different tools, i.e. the MS Expression Blend beta version, available as free download from Microsoft

I've added some new screenshots of the reworked button style (starting from image 30), and SlimTV.
The TVGuide is still work in progress...

AW: Reflexion skin (WiP, new screenshots 17.01.2012)
Time for some new ideas and updated screenshots
In first post you'll find new screens of the improved layout: nav bar on top, some "widgets" (like weather) and player controls on bottom. Layout is still to be improved to fit PiP nicely, but we are working on it
