If you are talking about standard LC-Displays, you are talking aboutHD44780 and compatibles. I´ve take a look inside the datasheet,there is no possibility to invert characters. If you take a closer lookat character displays, you will see that there is always a little spacebetween 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 displayedon the LCD. The LCD should display informations about current stateof MP, for example Recording Channel XY, perhaps with duration,playing MP3 with informations about the played song and so on. Forwhat do I need the pictures menu displayed on LCD, I have to switchon 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 wouldprefer the 'marker method', a char, perhaps '>', at position 1 of the linethat is currently selected. I´m not a fan of the 'Film-Stip'-view wheremore than one menuitem displayed on a single line. I think the displaywill become overloaded.
