I've not used a installed mod because ftp is copy and drag some folders, assuming you have a router or a hub and can just plug your xbox in...
If you don't have a router or a hub, you should get one because its the best way to share files; stick your movies on your pc in a share or on a nas and play them over the network.
Anyway, you can change all the colours, fan speed, hdd speed, etc. under settings.
Press the big green button on any video to change the ar, the one right in the middle of the remote. By default it will change the AR although you can of course change the buttons around; so i'm assuming your disc came with a new version of xbmc and a decent key configuration file. there's vast realms of settings under every settings options, you should go through them and tweak.

But at under £50 its not so bad coz at least you can play games on it too which you cant do on a standalone. |
If that's the only thing you think it can do that any other standalone can do i just have to ask this question, was it a new version of XBMC from the past few years? What about queing up entire folders? What about playing movies inside rars? What about network streaming? What about codec support? what... *snip*
Basic functionality is all over the place but absent from competitors.
If you've not got a hub/router, get one from ebay for a penny + p&p, and then get a bit of cat 5 cable and setup a network. I'd recommend that setup rather than leaving it off a network (you said xbox live so i assume you've got it plugged in).
Default xbox ftp settings are 192.168.1.32 and xbox / xbox ; any ftp client works from flashfxp to command line ftp to the freeware filezilla or winscp.
