Is there a guide to creating your own? If there's one thing that gets a big fat zero (well maybe a 1) from me, it's the default Theater View skins.
Personally, they're horrible. As is the only one (I can find) available as download.

Did you see "Rapier Fusion" from xplain? http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=69662.0
If you have customised your theater view away from the defaults, you will need to modify it to fit, reinforcing the difficulties mentioned above.
It's pretty neat though, and still in use on our TV...

Funny you should say that. I was (and still am) completely bowled over by the default skins. I have been looking at them for quite some time now and still don't tire of them. Well chosen!

What I would be interested in is hearing from a skin developer what our skinning engine might need to do to be more flexible and more open for new and modern skins to be created.

As someone who's tried to develop a few skins, I think it would help if you updated the skinning docs in the wiki. I couldn't find any comprehensive list of all the available commands so lots of trial and error involved. I suspect this turns off many from trying to develop their own skins.
I learned from dissecting the skins of other users but quickly found that some commands in these skins no longer work in recent versions. I don't mind doing the coding but without updated docs, it's way too time consuming.

As one who also use Theater View just about always I want to add to my encouragement to JRiver to consider devote some development time to improve. I am not complaining much - current Theater View is pretty good and is a key competitive advantage of MC.
But since not much has been done to improve it since introduction, it is perhaps time.

It would be nice to have some more "eye candy"
There are some brilliant looking themes in xbmc but unfortunatley xbmc cannot touch JRiver for audio, video feature playback! Hence why most people who want audophile quality and mad vr stick to JRiver!
Its a shame really
