Implementation of Menu Button, that opens the hidden Context Menus. The style is analog to the Power Button. Idea is analog to start Button, just MP2 icon is used (Improved Usebility)

Implemented and working
Just I'm trying to improve a minor thing. When the MP2 button is pressed in the homescreen, nothing happens (this is intended), but also the MP2 button is disabled after clicking it. EDIT: Solved, but now the Suspend button is disabled, when the MP2 Button is pressed in homescreen and can be only reactivated, by pressing it a second time Well, there will be a solution

The problem is following: IsEnabled="{Binding Source={StaticResource MenuModel},Path=!IsMenuOpen}" is applided to all buttons and also to the Group Menu to prevent they can be used, if another Menu is used.
The "HiddenMenu" can only be applied in MediaItem Views, not in menu screens.
If the new MP2 button is pressed in menu screens, the menu will not open, but MP2 anyway thinks a Menu is open and other items are disabled. By a second click it's working again.
There needs to be for example an IsVisible property for the MP2 button, which prevents showing the MP2 button on home screens. But I need a hint with which path the IsVisible property could be connected. On the other hand I would prefer from design point of view, if the button is always visible and just disabled in home screens. @morpheus_xx

@morpheus_xx
Did you change something in the button.xaml? It's now the 3rd time that the style change for the radio buttons is gone.
Again they are not visible, when not selected and on focus the background is blue instead of gray.

Yes, I made changes. Probably not the ones you have intended
For button colors now check the constants in colors.xaml.
This makes changes by themes easier

BTW, best would be to create a new branch upon dev.

Strange, one complete commit disappeared: https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-2/commit/b303e3a89673618a5cd54751ed0f40b8161cf550
I think this is not related to your last changes. I pushed the code back and it looks fine again.

• Visual Indicator, when MP2 is recording

Is there a IsRecording path, that I can bind? The indicator is almost ready, just the IsVisible parameter needs to be connected.

Not yet, sorry. There is no Server-Client messaging yet which would inform about ongoing recordings. This is one of the top missing features in TV area.

oh, I was sure to see a screen with this function in MP1, but can not remember 100%. I will wait for it.
Is it possible to add an IsMainMenu property? You added a IsHome property and I like it. this would solve the issues with the MP2 button a few posts above. also I would like to have some features only and some not in MainMenu (the one with the big tiles) screen

What do you think about a sliding effects for the screens, when changing them?

Just the code is not working yet: System.ArgumentException: Das Objekt mit dem Typ "System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.Object]" kann nicht in den Typ "MediaPortal.UI.SkinEngine.Controls.Animations.Storyboard" konvertiert werden.

The home screen has an own .xaml file, so what you put there is only valid in this screen.

What you put into master_bare (or others) is then valid in all screen which includes them.
