[QUOTE="cul8er, post: 780361, member: 24508"] Hi, I like the idea with one menu editor very much but it would be a huge task. We would have to make it incredibly "smart" and configurable from a standard configuration file not to limit the current possibilities. It would be almost like a skin editor ;) Think of things like; * all possible menu layouts must be supported (horizontal text, horizontal text with submenus, horizontal pictures, horizontal pictures with submenus, vertical text,vertical text with submenus,vertical pictures,vertical pictures with submenus, other menus like the "x-factor" menu in the x-factor skin that used combinations of the previous. * all possible animations must be supported for images, and or text with different speed, effects and directions. * adding startup parameter support to plugins in menues and submenues * many of these skin editors also is process plugins and extends the current capabilities of MP in different ways to add more capabilities to the skin than possible out of the box * rss support or not (infoservice) * weather support or not * fade stuff on screen or not in idle (like a screensaver) * display clock or not (analog or digital) * ... * ... And more important doing all the above without constraining skin release cycles. In MP we limit the number of plugins included in the core not to limit bug fixes and releases of new plugin versions and we must do the same here. But can we find a good way to do this I'm very willing to help in any way I can. Just my two cents. best regards cul8er [/QUOTE]
