[QUOTE="akayani, post: 1191163, member: 154126"] [I]So I have a complex computer with and AMD RAID system which has some weird habits. I had to turn off the RAID controller to make the disks accessible to get some serious online help. The problem is when I do that the boot drive become unbootable even after the RAID controller is switched back on. Hence I've ended up booting from a backup of the drive that is months old which is why this schedule went unnoticed. [/I] When I say 'Skins' what I mean is that the most basic skin to the most advanced skin all follow the same menu structure and other code. The basic layout of the menus that all shins inherit I'm giving 5/10. That's where the usability issues come from. I use the simple default skin. What I see in this program is a lot of effort to add features and skins but it is undermined by a menu system and left right mouse actions than needed a lot more review before anything was build on top of them. Morpheus has a PDF of some of the issues where I claim this structure fails. This issue of no warning when all the tuners are used is another interface issue to add to that list. There aren't that many things in that PDF but they are unlikely to be the sort of thing that can be resolved in the current version without breaking themes. The worst example is have to dig through menus to go between full screen and windowed mode. What you need is an intense review of all the usability issue (which aren't that many) and a plan for version 3. I did have a good look at the code but C# isn't my language I can't be very helpful at that. (Because of this now 9 month RAID drama I'm seriously behind with my own work.) I am happy to test and give feedback. As I have said to Morpheus, I think the app is on the edge of being something great and with the demise of Windows Media Center it is a much needed application. If I were the developers this is what I would do taking into account the death of WMC and the garbage that is the competition... 1. Develop a list for MP3 and make a document 2. Work out the time required to do those items. 3. Start a crowd source funding program. 4. Put a bounty on each item and split the cash from the funding between those items. Like everything 95% right is hard work and to get to that last 5% is a right effort. That 5% is right up the curve of a what is a logarithmic effort. [/QUOTE]
