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

Indeed, Amber has replaced Confluence for me.

RE: Skin comparison
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
I've added Amber and XBMC Immersive. Especially Amber seems very usable and lightweight.
Thanks for reporting :-)

Re: Skin comparison
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

RE: Skin comparison
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.

RE: Skin comparison
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.

I agree. Confluence is the slickest skin for the Pi
