These past few days I've been working on creating simple, yet very powerful themes for XBMC. I called them Density, because visually they're small (3 main menus), but contain everything you'll ever need on XBMC.
The theme focuses on simplicity. It has 3 sections; Movies, TV Shows and Live TV, each of which only have what you NEED, and aren't cluttered with many addons and shortcuts you'll never use.
The Live TV section has 2 main features; the Paid Sports Services folder (containing all the paid sports addons if you have a subscription), and the Free Sports Streams folder (containing a list of my hand picked sports streaming sites/ playlists from multiple addons)
It's perfect for anyone who's never used XBMC before, as everything is as straightforward as it possibly can be, and I've even created a set of instructions.
Currently I have 5 versions, but I'm working on creating more. They are:
Density RED:

Density BLUE:

Density GREEN:

Density Nox:

Density Confluence:

Instructions on how to use/ amend the themes can be found here
Don't download on Chrome
It'll give you a malicious content warning halfway through. (It's not malicious, but for some reason Chrome thinks it is)
To install, SSH into your device, and replace the contents of the XBMC folder. This is located:
Installing on Linux/OpenELEC
Since changing the guisettings requires XBMC to be closed, OpenELEC and Linux users must take these steps:
1) SSH using putty to the IP Address of your media centre - Username: root, Password: openelec/letmein
2) Type touch /var/lock/xbmc.disabled and then press enter
3) Type killall -9 xbmc.bin and then press enter - Your media center machine should now go blank
4) Connect to your machine using WinSCP and copy the contents from the theme into the XBMC folder on your device
5) Go back to putty window and type rm /var/lock/xbmc.disabled
6) Type reboot
If you have any feedback/ requests, let me know.
Enjoy!
