[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 7634"] Now that there's a chance that we'll see something on our LCDs, it's time to think about menus. First the easy one: A menu on a 1-line-LCD will look like this: [code]> My Weather[/code] After pressing the down key twice it will look like this: [code]> My Music[/code] No discussion about this! ;-) Now the 3-and-more-lines-LCDs: A menu on a 4-line-LCD will look like this: [code] My TV My Videos > My Weather My Plugins[/code] After pressing the down key twice it could look like this (old cellphone style): [code] My Videos My Weather My Plugins > My Music[/code] Or it could look like this (MediaPortal style) [code] My Weather My Plugins > My Music My Pictures[/code] :arrow: What do you guys prefer? And why? And now the 2-line-LCDs: [code]> My Weather My Plugins[/code] will become [code] My Plugins > My Music[/code] :arrow: I find it pretty hard to tell which line is selected on a two-line-LCD. An alternative could be to work like having a 1-line-LCD - but it isn't the perfect solution either. Do you have better ideas? Or is the example above okay? And now the toughest part: The picture list in Filmstrip view looks like this (The file pic1 is marked): [code] .. >pic1< pic2[/code] On a 2-line-LCD the list would look like this: [code]> pic1 pic2[/code] After pressing the right(!) key once, the list would be this: [code] pic1 > pic2[/code] :arrow: I don't see a possibility to map Icon view and Filmstrip view to a LCD while keeping the key usage logical. Do you? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
