I see all these great new plugins hopefully coming up the next weeks/month.
My alarm
My mail
my comics
and many more
These are all things I tend to activate for my htpc, but...
a couple of them I wouldn´t use so frequently. The home screen with the scrolling items will be overpopulated. It takes long to find the main purpose of the htpc (TV, movies, pictures).
Take also radio, recipes, programs, news or upcoming system info into account which are of different importance for different users here.
Idea:
Introduce a home screen level 2.
On level 1 you have the things you think important and "more..."
on level 2 you have the rest of the modules.
home 2 could have the same looks as home 1 and only needs a "up" or something button.
Best way is to let the user choose in the settings if he wants the module be displayed on level 1 or level 2. Of course he still can decide if the module should show up at all.
What do you think, good idea?
