Hi all!
Because our HTPC takes such a central point in our living room I thought it would be nice to make a page with all the information I would love to see in one eyesight!
So I made a webpage witch can be viewed with the standard webrowser implemented with StreamedMP. It fits exactly my TV screen (1280x720). I have added some cool gadgets in it.
To inspire you I will explain what I have done...
This is how it now looks like (continue in development
)
This is how it looks like on my TV screen.
I have made this page with Dreamweaver & Photoshop. First offal I took a nice picture and resized it to 1280x720 so it would exactly fit my screen. As you can see it a nice picture of our cat in the garden.
I have added some pictures & some stockphoto's and the final result was this:
Now I added some html, PHP & javascript in Dreamweaver. This is what I added:
1. A Javascript time element, this was my source: *CLICK*
2. Showing the upcoming rain, the source: *CLICK*
3. A RSS news ticker converted to a horizontal text scroller, I used this to convert a RSS to plain text & this is the source of the java applet.
4. A high resolution webcam stream from our favorite radio channel (3FM), *CLICK*
5. Google calendar. There are al lot of scripts to convert it to you're own page. This script is highly editable to you're own taste, *CLICK*
6. Some picture's of our favorite tv-serie's. Under "Laatste Subs" must come the latest translations of our series. I still have to find a script witch is suitable for it (I can't write it myself)
7. Some picture's of me and my girlfriend. See really gave me a big smile when see saw it.
I hope I have gave you some inspiration to do the same. Ill do my best to answer any questions!
