I have a few suggestions for improvement, I know some of them are very demanding, so only accept them as my humble ideas.
1) The "My" in "My Usenet" can't be removed using MP Setup under skin
2) In 16:9 B2 the ETA overlaps next column
3) Move Pause/resume from the bottom to the left.
4) Disable standby with Powerscheduler when download is active, or rather when sabnzbd is download/unrar/unparring.
5) Wake up in given timeperiod to empty download que.
6) Perhaps allow two more lines for the downloading info.
7) Shutdown or start SABnzbd.
8) Postsize on newzbin next to name of post.
But most important! This is great, and great you released the code. |
Thanks for the great/detailed feedback. I needed some errors/ideas like these pointed out.
1. Rookie mistake but an easy fix.
2. Yeah, I wasn't sure about the widescreen skin. I have only a SD TV so that skin was done on my laptop with it's widescreen. I'll play fix it.
3. This one I don't really know about. The problem is that some providers (Newzbin and Yabse in particular) display a good amount of information in the text box below the buttons on the left. Adding another button would take up even more space, but I did notice that when running a 16:9 skin I was able to make the text box much wider. This may be a situation where the button will have to stay where it is in the 4:3 skin but could be moved to the left in the 16:9 version. Another problem that arises is that the Pause button replaces a label that is unique to alt.binz only. It also kind of fits in that section because that is where SAB's status is. I'll definitely play around with it as I (hopefully) will finally be upgrading to HD this month. That will make the whole skin thing much easier.
4. I'll have to read up on how exactly you pass messages to powerscheduler, but I'm sure it's relatively easy.
5. Not sure what you mean here. You want the computer to wake up and empty the queue?
6. Yea, that label looks horrible. I think a combination of changing it and moving the pause button could clean up the skin a lot.
7. Already added.
8. You mean instead of below it, you want it beside it?
How does the widescreen skin look other than that? I really can't test it properly as I don't think my laptop's monitor produces the same results that an actual TV does. Could I get you to post a screenshot preferably with TV on so that I can see how things are lined up?
