Agree

Quote:Could we implement something like a "Toast" pop up box on /First Boot/boot/periodic interval that says something like.

"Have you backed up your device recently?"
"Backups are important in case problems occur."
"See http://www.wiki.xbian.org/how-to/backups and restore" or whatever the URL will be.
"Click here [ ] to disregard this notice."

Unfortunately those toast messages can not displayed until click to respond, only timeout is possible. So, IMO makes no sense

Don't know if addons can put message boxes on screen if not running in foreground

Got it, added hint's to XBian's config GUI. Currently three hints are implemented:

1. System backup not done for a long time (currently 33 days)
2. Home backup not done for long time (currently 33 days)
3. New updates are available
   

All hints are displayed until manually close and can be disabled. And or course, an 'Enable all Hints' function has also been added to Preferences section

Will put to devel repo next days for testing
