I do agree that a bit more 'useful' info on the main menu would be nice.
We just need to be careful that the panels don't end up chewing a lot of CPU% and HDD use. eg, 'polling' for updates should be configurable and restricted to every 10mins (for instance).
As I've said previous, 'prettiness' would not be the main reason why i would use GBPVR. And you've got it exactly right - graphical artists makes 'pretty' skins .. with or without animation.. with or without string scrolling...

why the skins in gbpvr dont look as good, well that pretty much just because we dont have any really good skinners here, well graphical artists, mediaportal obiviously does. but hey i suck at the graphical part aswell. cause gbpvr with the right skin could look just as good as mediaportal (minus all the little animations etc), and be more stable.
