The proposal sounds very interesting!

Adding (on-screen) effects for Freevo in xine and mplayer currently is
painful process. It takes months before all changes make it into released
versions of the modified libraries (freevo, xine-ui and xine-lib, mplayer)
and even some more time until distros have included them. An extensible,
separate UI component is very welcome.

The 3rd item of the skill set in the UI3 proposal (architecture/integration)
should not be under-estimated. Eye-candy is good and will attract end-users
but for developers to support UI3, a rich and consistent API that integrates
well into MCE apps is key for long-time support. I'm too interested in a
separate discussion on this topic.
