[QUOTE="mtjoernelund, post: 681442, member: 73598"] Hi sa_ddam213 (and all others), I sad the other day think about how I would like to control MP using my touchscreen. And as you have mentioned that you are considering re-writing the plugin from scratch I thought I would share my thoughts, if it has any interest. I have made and uploaded some drawings to illustrate what I mean. These are only overall design suggestions, but colors, font, logo's etc are not worked through. First of all, when MP is started I would suggest a very plane screen, only weather and RSS-feeds if enabled (startscreen.jpg). I would suggest this screen to be the basic display, and then if a remote button is pressed the display should change to a list view in accordance with MP main display (Remote navigation.jpg), and if a submenu is chosen then the layout should be followed through e.g. in Music (List navigation.jpg). As long as we are in the main menu I would suggest that if the screen is touched (preferably, if that is to difficult the MP logo in the corner could be used as a button) the screen would change to a screen with four or five custom shortcuts with large icons (Touch navigation.jpg). If e.g. music is chosen here or if we already are in music, it should just jump to the list view also used for remote. If no interaction, i.e. touching the screen or remote control keys, then screen should after a short timeout return to the basic display. If some media has been chosen and is playing then the basic screen should be substituted with a simple now playing screen (Now playing.jpg, the draft here lacks playback control buttons under the progress bar and equalizer in the top of the screen). Link to the status page that you have made should be kept as one of the shortcuts on the touch navigation screen. As mentioned this is just my two cents on how the layout and functionality of the plugin could be arranged. I hope that you can use this somehow, also I would love to hear some comments on my suggestions here and if it comes to layout I would love to try to help. [/QUOTE]
