Had a quick look, and is certainly a prettier alternative, works well and loads the program list faster to boot.
A few things about the ui.
1. It's huge, it takes up 1.5+ times the width that iviewNapper does on my screen, and about 1.2 times the height.
2. The Exit button is not really necessary, or should be below the 'about' button (I can see accidental exits when trying to click 'panel', and maybe even 'educational' from where it currently sits rather than accidental wrong genre pick).
3 Don't like how categories are essentially split into 3 parts, with the channels on top, genres to the right, and overview (home) in the middle. If could be made to fit, shrink the buttons down and have all in single column, or more likely a double column on the right.
4. Were you to follow my opinions above, the search bar (great to have that BTW) would end up being 'orphaned') so assuming 'exit' moved to under 'about'/removed, and double columns with 'home' being moved to where the exit button currently is (more or less) then move the search bar to where home currently is, then eliminate as much unnecessary negative space, by reduction first, then stretching the elements to fit what cant be eliminated.
If interested I could do a diagram of what I mean (tried doing a mock up by editing a screenshot, but that was a total mess)
