Focus - A Lightweight XBMC Skin

I have previously written about the stunning Aeon XBMC skin by Duncan Harris, and although I am a huge fan of Duncan's work, the Aeon skin is definitely for people with high performance media centers. Unfortunately for those still running on older hardware you may notice some stuttering and overall sluggish behavior.

Therefore I give you Focus. A clean, visually pleasant, but most importantly lightweight XBMC skin that should run well on any hardware.

Although Focus may not have the visual prowess of Aeon or provide as much "WOW" factor, it does do a very nice job of organising and playing your media. I tend to have both Aeon and Focus installed and switch between the two depending on the situation. If I want to show people what XBMC can do I'll load Aeon, although for day to day usage I stick with Focus.
