Blue Vision (2 Viewers)

I have just pushed my changes to keep the last selected group menu item when moving focus back up.
I solved it by creating a specialized ListView control. This control adds only the last selected item to the focus candidates if the current focused item is not one of the group menu items.
@ge2301 Please try if this is the behavior you wanted and if it has any unwanted side effects.

Thanks a lot Osre! I'll directly try it and feedback to you Just one question: Is the last selected menu item also "white" when the focus is not on the main menu?

No it isn't. But I can check when it is White or not.
The downside when it is White all the time is that you can't see anymore if the Focus is on the menu items or elsewhere.
It might be a good idea to highlight the last selected item (active menu group) somehow else. May be increasing it in size?

That's a good idea. I'd just prefer the way around. The focused and "last focused" item are always white.
Additionally the focused item is growing slightly in size.

Current code defines 0.4 opacity for the non focused item, and 1.0 opacity for the focused one. The size I can handle by a storyboard. what is missing is smoking like "last focused" property.
What do you think?

smoking

stupid iPhone auto correction smoking = something

I'll check out how this could work.

While in TV Guide mode I found something I do not know if by design or not.
Go into TV Guide and place mouse over a show
Show and channel info shows at bottom


Move mouse over to Channels section.
Info from last show highlighted stays at bottom while highlighting Channels


Click on a Channel and the schedule for shows comes up
Highlighting a show still does not change the info at the bottom




Checking out the movie /videos section (Again I do not know if this is by design)
browse media


Play a movie for a short time (I did for 40 seconds) and stop the movie
Back on the browse page, move the mouse over different sections of listed moves
Randomly what appears to be Fanart takes over the screen

I got the selected item highlighted all the time.
The solution is quite easy, and according to the commented XAML code I guess you nearly had the solution.
All I did was replacing this:

<Trigger Property="Selected" Value="True">
  <!--Setter TargetName="ItemLabel" Property="Color" Value="{ThemeResource TextColor}"/-->
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="HasFocus" Value="False">
  <!-- Added following code to make only the focused menu item heving full opacity-->
  <Setter Property="Opacity" Value="0.4"/>
  <!-- Added following code to make only the focused menu item heving full opacity-->
</Trigger>

by this:

<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=ListViewItem}, Path=Selected}" Value="false">
  <Setter Property="Opacity" Value="0.4"/>
</DataTrigger>

in Buttons.xaml (GroupTabHeaderButtonStyle)
I'm checking it in in a couple of minutes.

Edit: The "inflation" of the focused menu item could be a bit more now. It's really hard to see if focus is on menu item or not.

Great. Actually I was playing around alot, hard to believe the solution was so easy Well, thats makes the difference between designer and dev I believe
I'll do that right now. Currently the sizing by storyboard is shared also with the menu boxes (movies, videos, series, etc.). I'll create a new storyboard for only the group main menu. It's quickly done.

The TV part was coded by @morpheus_xx for ApolloOne I have just slightly made modifications. Since I have no TV-Tuner in my working PC I never checked this.
I believe it shouldn't be like that.

Checking out the movie /videos section (Again I do not know if this is by design)

I have an idea what the problem could be. I build Bluevision based on ApolloOne which has only 1 screen, that the defines the spaces between list and fanart.
I changed it in the direction, that every view has its own screen, so for example the fanart in audio section could have square size.
For "browse media this screen might be missing at the moment, so it's referring so something and the Fanart takes the complete space.
I'll check and correct this.

@osre I added the new storyboard. Exchange this file with the previous buttons.xaml.
What do you think about the "inflation factor", is it fitting? I'll commit it later, if you like it

Yes, I think that's better now.
