I've never even had the inkling to click on it and see what happens Absolutely agree it should be a toggle option, I didn't mean for my idea to decrease anyone else's experience with XBian I guess there's the context menu when browsing files. Is that how you add items to the favorites star? Then when you want to view something you've added, you just click on the star from the home screen? I guess this sounds obvious but I'm always interested in hearing more about how people use dynamic interfaces.

Cool (25th Mar, 2013 08:58 PM)mad-max Wrote:(25th Mar, 2013 03:17 PM)raspberry_pd Wrote: I also find that I don't really need the thumbnail from the show in recently viewed lists. it would be better as a list, with the a thumb on the right, if necessary.I don't know of what part of the skin you are talking about...recently added? TV Shows and Movies have boxes above them on the home screen. You can scroll horizontally to view up to eight boxes in TV Show mode. I guess what I was thinking is that often the screenshot is random so not necessarily that meaningful. However the show title and episode information is often forced to scroll horizontally inside it's box which isn't great. I could do a mockup in HTML if you're interested? Anybody notice that the latest version of Linux Mint has a fully-HTML customizable login screen? Wish XBMC would move to HTML/CSS/JS for skinning.

If there was an option to have randomly changing backgrounds that would rock!There will be an option to have multiple cycling backgrounds for home menu... Sounds good. (25th Mar, 2013 08:58 PM)mad-max Wrote:(25th Mar, 2013 03:17 PM)raspberry_pd Wrote: I also feel that the XBMC word/logo on the home screen should be removed/replaced with the XBian word/logo since it's better branding and easier for those unfamiliar with the many layers of projects that make up XBian to understand. Acknowledging XBMC as a project is important but I don't think this has to be done constantly on the home screen background.Already done Groovy (25th Mar, 2013 08:58 PM)mad-max Wrote:(25th Mar, 2013 03:17 PM)raspberry_pd Wrote: Another option I'd recommend is hiding the time when it has not been updated within the last few minutes or so. The lack of a Real-Time Clock (RTC) on the Raspi makes it impossible to keep the time when network issues appear, so in situations such as immediately after boot, the time should be hidden rather than displayed incorrectly.Good catch...will look into it Hope it's not too hard.

I never use it.Sounds like a good idea... Come to think of it, how about the ability to customize the context menu? There's a heap of options in there I don't use so that slows down interaction as each one has to be slowly passed. I suspect this may not be something that a skinner can currently do though. (25th Mar, 2013 08:58 PM)mad-max Wrote:(25th Mar, 2013 03:17 PM)raspberry_pd Wrote: Also, because the Pi is so slow when viewing a significant library and/or when using HDMI-CEC (why is CEC slower than a WiFi remnote like Yatse?), the sorting options should not take effect immediately. That can result in slow delays while we cycle through the 3 or 4 sorting options that we don't want, in order to get to the one we do. It's worse when you can't make up your mind! LOL. So this step should be a two-step process whereby the user scrolls quickly up/down through the sort options, then clicks one when they've decided what they want. This will be a lot more snappy.This part comes from core xbmc...so there is nothing a skinner can do about...sorry Oh well. |
