Here are things Id like to see:
1) A little sub menu for shares/bookmarks. Explanation: Rightnow when you go into my videos, it goes directly into the bookmarked section (in my case its movies on the PC), and if you want to pick something from a different you hit back and see all the bookmarked shares, now what i am talking about is kind of a toggable little submenu, kinda like some skins display the scripts, press a button and a little transparent list comes up that you can choose from, this way the bookmarks can be selected.
2)For back ground I think a mixture of static and gif would be great, some ideas would be if you had a pic of a tv in the background, you would have a gif image running in the tv....or maybe a mosaic of pictures that are all gifs, they all start once the other is finished).
3) if there is room, maybe weather on every single page, like in the bottom left corner, and also track/album info as well if playing.
4)...well i have some more ideas, but the wife is saying dinners ready so will add more later....lol
