How about showing that disk / LP / CD only when item has a focus? That would make it more distictive (and not so crowded looking). Also, maybe it would be possible to animate than disk movement when focus is gained (not sure, might be a skinning engine limitation).

While that would look very cool, would it maybe be even better to use such an animation when an item is chosen (clicked), as it seems like a waste of resources for browsing quickly through items (it won't have time to load, or will look crazy)?
Very nice work as usual, Harley!

yes, that is a good idea.
I can do a image with showing LP for focus and with not showing LP for unfocus.
Animation of the disk is a realy problem with our skinengine. I have do several test with animations in the filmstripview and it does not work fine, because we have there the problem that we can set there animationcode but it allways effects the complete view and not the items in different. I have do for some time a test for doing a filmstripview in real 3d perpective, but i have notice there that if i set the unfocus and focus animations in filmstripview, mp use for the perspective allway one point as center and with that we get uglyshowing items there, because they are all different then in the perpective.
For something like this we need the container stuff that xbmc use there.
I have speak with bavarian over it for some time, he has say it is possible to add in skinengine, but it is a huge work.
@emph
a click animation would be nice, but mp has no possiblity for it in skinengine.

Re: Skin "Fidelity" W.I.P. "NEW Teaservideo 24.11.2009"
Looks nice.
With regards to this now playing screen
Have you thought about having faint artist image in the background and keeping the center image as the album cover?
EDIT: Sorry, this is maybe not a good idea. When i do a mockup it might not look good because the album cover is always going to be ontop of the centre of the image which will probably obscure the fanart too much for most fanart images unless the artist is off centre.
MOCKUP IMAGES NOT ACTUAL SKIN

or having fanart artist images in background.

To have fanart in now playing you might have to rearrange to clear the centre eg.
MOCKUP IMAGE, NOT ACTUAL SKIN
unfortunately i think your screens look a lot better, so i'm not sure if there is an easy way to clear the centre for fanart while retaining the album image, track details, best track selector, playing next details.
PS - I really like the look of what you are doing with the skin, these are just ideas, i hope you don't mind me posting them harley

Re: First Shot of TV Part
Great work! Watching this project with anticipation!
Here is an idea for the tv screen. Would be cool if the two Blue highlights were swapped. I'll see if I can explain what I mean?
The cut out blue back highlight for TV on with the first button would look cool if this cut out was beside each menu option and then the blue bar would move fluidly between each option on menu scroll kind of like an old TV dial. Make sense?
The second highlight being the blue four pointed star type would maybe look cool if the "blue" indicated ON and then faded out and then faded in to "red" for OFF?
Just some ideas if it made any sense to you at all? hehe
