Is there a way to easily make Hyperspin elegant? I think it has tons of potential, but out-of-the-box it's an assault on the senses. There's just WAY too much going on at all times. I think the default skin/theme designers are in serious need of a lesson in white space and, perhaps, a dose of Ritalin. ;D

Funny. That's exactly what I thought the first time I checked out hyperspin.
I suppose it lives up to the name, but, yes, if there were some more "subdued" themes out of the box, I'd find it more appealing.

What kind of "subdued" themes would you be looking for? The thing with HS is that you can make it look as flashy or as "subdued" as you want. If you have a theme from another front end it can be easily adapted for use within HyperSpin.
Do you have an example of a theme you would like to see done in HyperSpin?
BTW - I have a theme that makes HyperSpin look exactly like Maximus Arcade. It's not quite finished yet and I'll have to dig up the files and see if I can resurrect it.

Hey Dazz.
That's a tough one. I'm not really much of an artist. Just to be clear, HS is really impressive stuff. It's a very cool, slick looking interface (hell, my Mala theme is a kind of a rotating wheel, a bit like HS, but limited to what Mala can do).
Maybe a theme with a little less of the full screen animations, something like that.
I'll have to download the latest HS and try it out again...

In terms of general feel I have something in mind like the Aeon series of themes for XBMC. It's unfortunately not an arcade frontend theme, but it's an example of a theme that organizes and presents an enormouse amount of info from a variety of sources in a clean, elegant, yet visually impressive way. Really, Hyperspin is pretty cool. It can do a lot of awesome stuff. I just think it falters from trying to do it all at once.
