[QUOTE="samuel337, post: 71191, member: 10347"] Hmm... that sort of stuff looks very much like car PC interfaces. IIRC, there's some effort going on to develop a CarPC skin here. With regards to an 'overview' mode, that could possibly be done through skinning, leaving out the options you don't want to display on screen. Otherwise, I think you're asking for something in the opposite direction to what the vast majority of people want - features, features, features. I agree though, that in some places, there needs to be some effort to clear up the screens, but I don't think we'll be seeing an interface as simple as the one in that video, simply because I think for MP's main audience more features beat big buttons. I mean, the current interface isn't unusable at all using a remote. That said, I'm going to embark on a Car PC project of my own soon, so I'll be after what you're looking for too (simple interface, big buttons). Still haven't decided whether to edit MP or to try out some of the other frontends available, especially the Car PC frontends.
