One thing that Freevo 2.0 needs besides the (obviously) functionality is the looks. None of the existing skins look appealing nor do fully utilize the capabilities of the modern displays.
Disappointing looks are some of the the reasons people are looking towards projects like xbmc for example. I have started playing with some skinning in 1.9.x and came up with a clone of the xbmc confluence skin look for freevo. The work is 80% done and looks quite impressive already. I will post some screenshots later on today in a separate thread on the freevo-devel list for comments. Especially nice are the new audio player screens, both attached and detached (I use PlayStateDialog) as well as video PlayState screen which all look (almost) identical to xbmc ones. Features like fancy animations etc. are beyond current capabilities of Freevo (and I'm not sure if really necessary) but the final result is, nevertheless, quite nice and esthetically pleasing. If this is accepted, then we should start thinking at porting this to Freevo 2.0 (which I can definitely help with).
