Thanks for a great review, very informative.

Anyone tried the Immersive skin yet? Looks a bit like Experience1080 2.0 but more simple.

He seems to be happy with it on the Pi. So give it a try

Wooooaww, that amber skin really looks nice!:O

Indeed, Amber has replaced Confluence for me.

I totally agree about Amber. I'm using it for about one week now and really surprised how beautiful and fast it works.
RE: Skin comparison - namtih - 23rd Jun, 2013 12:31 AM
I've added Amber and XBMC Immersive. Especially Amber seems very usable and lightweight.
Thanks for reporting :-)

Please add MetroTV, didn't try myself but it's suppose to beat Amber in speed and it's based obodern UI from Windows8. Since MyEPi dev is a bit slow, this is a good alternative for everyone who is waiting for Metro design. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=138997

I've tried all the skins on the xbmc repo and I have only two installed.
I like PMD3 but it has higher than normal CPU compared against confluence.
But I do not use it, even though I do like the structure.
The reason? It has terrible CPU usage on the main screen - the place I spend the most time on standby.
So it's confluence all the way for me.
All that "glitters" is not gold - especially when it's a raspberry.

I've added MetroTV.
Unfortunately nearly all sub-categories has any sort of scrolling elements which causes a constant CPU usage of ~95% due the scrolling bug on the Rpi.

so for me Confluence is still the winner
I agree. Confluence is the slickest skin for the Pi
