[QUOTE="mcbelly, post: 89574, member: 21870"] A few "wishes"/ideas: I´ve been using a touchscreen (17") in my kitchen for quite a while now. The first thing that´s a bit...annoying...(just a bit) is the size of the buttons. You can select music and movies, but changing pages is quite tricky (button´s too small). I (!) don´t need all the functions MP has in my kitchen, basically it´s just music and recipes (a friend of mine promised me to write me a plugin as wedding present...still waiting). After all - I´m (i.e. my wife is) busy cooking. Maybe a quick glance at a TV program is possible, but not really "watching". So, I think it would suffice to display a recipe, possibly scrolling news, weather (not very important to me - but hey, you´re the author ;-) ) and maybe something like "now playing". I would also say, that there need to be links, which leads you to the according plugin. Say, you press on "Recipes" and go to the recipes plugin to take a peek at something else, or press on music and switch to your music library. Personally I really like the "Now playing" Screen from the replicant 0.2 skin very much. Very informative and quite a lot of infos at a glance. Maybe as an inspiration.... mcbelly Btw : Basic home screen ? Never use it.... [/QUOTE]
