I need buttons ! (1 Viewer)

[mcbelly]

In my kitchen, I run Mp on a PC with an attached Touch Screen (17"). Since I only use this one for listening to music, I have no need for tv,etc. (I know there are cheaper ways to listen to music, but the `waf` makes me use something that is similar to the way music is played in the living room.)

Problem is, in "My Music" playlists or top 100 or so, there are no "back" buttons. Same is in settings and some other menus. If I get in there, the only way to leave it ist by rebooting. I don´t want to use a remote, since I got this very expensive touch screen for free.....;-)

Any help is appreciated !

mcbelly - There aren't any skins designed for touch screen use at the present. I know there were some earlier but I believe they have died.

You better put your skinning hat on and get to it then

You could have a kitchen themed skin

isnt there an option to have the topbar displayed on each screen?
that way you could navigate backwarts yuite easily (at least with bluetwo)

There's another way if you don't want to use the top bar. Mouse right click in an empty space takes you back to the previous screen. I know you don't use a mouse on your touch screen but here's the trick: In configuration, under general settings there's an option called "use mouse double click as right click" or something like that. Check that, and double clicking (double "pointing") in an empty space will take you back.

Thanks Jetboy, that worked out fine !

I guess my skinning skills need a bit more practice.....;-)

There's another one:
You touchscreen driver most like has an option to evaluate a long press as right click - this is what I do in my car..
