BETTER WALLS (1 Viewer)

[infinite.loop]

Smart view was a better idea... just saying Please make smart view happen for MP1+2!

I know that this is MP2 part but as you mentioned MP1 isn't this similar to your smart view (at least to achieve the same goal )

Dont know why kiwi mentioned it - seems not related at all to the "wall" layout.

This would be cool.
unfortunately i don't have the time and maybe knowhow of the skinnig engine to start such a project.

I like the idea very much but currently have no good idea how to implement this using standard xaml constructs. I already had problems with the TV guide layout, which is also a two-dimensional view (list of channels x list of programs).

A custom control type could be developed to achieve this result, but there I can't develop this (at least not in short term). If anyone is able to provide help in coding new xaml-controls, it is very appreciated!

I can help with the Xaml controls

I have a WPF TVGuide for MPDisplay, and I like the look of tha "Wall List" so I will probably add that to MPDisplay aswell, but the xaml shold work fine in MP2 with a few tweaks here and there.

Some really great ideas here!

Emph

would be great if you could do that
Maybe you also could take a look at the TvGuide xD I don't really like the one from MP2 (sorry), but maybe I should be silent, I can't do it better :/

This idea is really cool! Ready for 1.50 pre release?

This would be great if you can help with TvGuide and also other xaml stuff! Can you please link to your existing code? I hope that most WPF stuff is also available in MPF. At least last time I found some missing parts that made life harder.
