    I started out doing a MAC rip but it evolved into this some how.
    I think I like it, but to code it might be a bit harder than a mockup.
    I guess it's off to steal some code from the pros. :D

    I like the floating table. I don't like the top bar, especially the rss feed and the icons top left.

    Ya the floating menu could be better but I am limited to Paint Shop Pro as an amateur.

    As far as the top left, I have run my task bar in Winblows at the top since Win98 after using Mandrake for awhile with the menu at the top I got pretty use to it there. So that layout seems very familiar to me.

    To each his own and I do appreciate the feedback!

    kiwijunglist,

    Did a bit of rework trying to keep in mind what you are saying. I think?

    looks much much better. the curved edge around the weather needs either a bezel or a fade or something, because it looks unfinished.

    the bit with the title "my videos" / temp, should maybe be a different texture to the bar above. or the bezel between the rss and the title bar should be different to the bezel below the title bar.

    @CyberSimian Sorry, I missed your last post. I ended up doing a clean install on the client and all is well now. It still doesn't let me go back in time when I change channels but it does continue operating from that point on. I'm ok with that. Thanks for your help! EDIT: I now downgraded the server (as I did with the client above)...

    Many thanks for the answer. So far I've used Logitech's Harmony hub. This allows you to control all components (including the media portal). I have now contacted the Sofabaton hotline. It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...
