topbar always on (1 Viewer)

[wewe]

hi all,

is there a possibility to have the topbar always on?

I am using mp with a touchscreen and it would be much easier then. I tried all variations of the available options and values. Currently I have the timeout on 3600 seconds. But still the topbar first disappears if I change a screen.

Thanks WeWe

topbar ...

obviously not ...

does anybody use MP with a touchscreen (a real screen not the PC case display) and has best practices? I mean how to handle volume, topbar etc.

I am building a KITCHEN MUSIC CENTER (CD, radio, music on HD).

thanks&regards

Well, perhaps you can edit the XML's?

Typical start of XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<window>
  <id>35</id>
  <defaultcontrol>4</defaultcontrol>
  <allowoverlay>yes</allowoverlay>
  <disabletopbar>no</disabletopbar>
  <autohidetopbar>yes</autohidetopbar>

Change last line to "no" would perhaps do the trick?
(Try manually doing this with a few xmls and test. If it is successful, then use a app like "search and replace" (IIRC) and alter 'em all)

wow! This was a good one ... thank you Spragleknas!

Actually - its only 2 appearances: topbar.xml and myhome.xml.

I decided to start a thread with tips & tricks for touch screen users. I digged into 200 threads and didnt find good hints ..
