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.
