an Idea... (1 Viewer)

Im not a programer and very new to HTPC... had the mediaportal installed and love it !


so......I'm not sure if this is where I ask about it
Im wanting build a htpc for a school with a closed circuit TV setup, wanna use it thru CCTV setup )

I just thought if a plugin was in the works /or created for text box area (announements, news,) maybe we could use it for our wives to remind us to walk the dog, pay bills, buy diapers..etc

just a thought,

Hi, and welcome.

There once was (is?) a calendar plug-in. There also is (was?) an alarm plug-in.
Would that do it for you?

I saw them, but not quite (well not close ) hehe

just think of having notepad style with customize fonts with transparent background. Bonus if it could placed anywhere in media portal but when you switched to a diff screen the text could stay at top (if you select so)

I ll come up with a screen shot for a sample (im using a utility that does this but its not media portal intergrated)

forgot to metion that, the utility I use will not work in a full screen mode

which explains my reason to have a blank page (with time/clock and todays weather)

I might even try and create a plugin.. any pointers ?
