it sounds like you, and the vocal minority, dont know how and dont know what, but definitely want something
different going on in Theater View.
Seeing that you dont even know what will and wont work with the current build, why not create unique individual threads asking if something is possible, or desirable from the global perspective.
You may find that some requests are impossible. Some may be only applicable to you and obviously not worth pursuing globally. Some may be possible and the experts will tell you how to achieve it on your own.
Yet other ideas may get a response from a ton of people. Matt and Jim may come in to your thread and say "YES! Great idea. Coming in the next build".
So rather than simply posting screenshots of XBMC, why not take the time to ask ONE specific question like "Is it possible for me to move the rollers to the bottom or middle of the screen?"
These type of requests, over time, will help you determine what can and cant be done, how to implement them yourself, and how to extrapolate what you learn to other aspects of the views you want to customize.
I
think this is what Jim and Rick and others are talking about. These threads are far too general, and any specfic questions or suggestions get lost in the shuffle.
Cheers,
