Settings as a separate button on main screen

GuustFlater · 2007-08-06, 12:13

Hi all,

I would like to see the "Settings" moved to a separate button next to the round buttons at the top of the screen (in Blue Two). Reason for this is that I don't use the "Settings" anymore after this have been setup well. This would make the scroll menu shorter. The scroll menu is (in my opinion) for the daily use, the buttons above for once in a while....

Hello GuustFlater,

you can deactivate the "Settings" menu in the configuration if it annoys you.

Hi level20peon,

Thanks for your reply. This would be an option, but then I have to go to the MediaPortal Setup to enable it again (don't I?) if I once in a long while want to change something. It's not a must change, but more some kind og logical change in my opinion....
I might be the only one?

I kind of agree with him the settings option is somewhat out of place in the scroll menu, and would be more fitting as a top button

To enter setup from MP, you can press F2, and you don't need no icon or menu entry for it.

Yeah but (i don't know about you guys, but) I never use media portal unless i'm using a remote, because otherwise it would be easier using dedicated software (f.ex. VLC or winamp)
