I know photoshop...I could make you some knock-off images to emulate this if you wanted to code it...although I agree with the posts at xbs...those avatars are a no. I think the display is cool, but the avatars are just stupid...

May I suggest that you guys name this skin "Xperience", cool name and kind of an ironic inside joke :;):

Touche, Chris. The least I can do is give you the two background buttons on the games screen.

I think that, eventually, the background should be two seperated layers. The foreground stays prettymuch constant, and the background layer can be altered to either possibly display a backdrop of some kind ;) or change colors (like the netflix screen). Just my two cents.
But the pics look good chris...very nice. :D

It's also not the same background. It is the background for the website, but not for the dashboard.
good luck with this project... really impressed that so many people are getting involved... it's a community project, therefore it'll have a lotta respect... keep the good work up...
