[QUOTE="EdWin, post: 7682, member: 10322"] If you are talking about standard LC-Displays, you are talking about HD44780 and compatibles. I´ve take a look inside the datasheet, there is no possibility to invert characters. If you take a closer look at character displays, you will see that there is always a little space between the characters, so inverting a line will cause in a 'Stripe-look' of the inverted line. I also think that we don't need every menu of mediaportal displayed on the LCD. The LCD should display informations about current state of MP, for example Recording Channel XY, perhaps with duration, playing MP3 with informations about the played song and so on. For what do I need the pictures menu displayed on LCD, I have to switch on TV for displaying the picture and can see the menu on screen. For menu selection (e.g. switching from Home to a sub menu), i would prefer the 'marker method', a char, perhaps '>', at position 1 of the line that is currently selected. I´m not a fan of the 'Film-Stip'-view where more than one menuitem displayed on a single line. I think the display will become overloaded. [/QUOTE]
