[QUOTE="Aredon, post: 829484, member: 113994"] Because mentlegen, that would be really boring :). Well primarily side nav with fluid width. In my opinion fluid width designs are more difficult to work with. Additionally, I'd prefer this project be focused primarily on streaming TV over the internet as there is currently [b]no other open source option[/b] for this. You seem to want to make this a full port of MediaPortal's features to a web-based environment, which is fine, I just disagree that its the direction to go right away as it involves a lot more up-front development. I believe you mean functionality rather than consistency, but point taken. I could certainly see the use of a side navigation as a subnav, but I would question whether that is more intuitive for tablets as it would force a wider page width (or smaller content area), and thus create smaller text sizes. As far as drop-downs not being intuitive for tablets... it seems fine to me. :) (see attached) If anything the javascript seems to make them a lot easier to use on a tablet, which is something I had not previously considered. I understand what you mean, but I must respectfully disagree. The software technology is most certainly there. (HTML5, JQuery, AJAX) Danke sir I suppose I don't see the need to make the navigation overly complex at this time. There are plenty of relatively simple ways to avoid having a two-navigation system (main and sub navs). Especially when this initial release won't have very much functionality yet. In summary, I would be of the opinion: "lets cross that bridge when we come to it" with regard to adding complexity to the navigation. Mostly just hate them. :) They annoy me to no end on my tablet. (I'm a landscape man) That seems like a nice interface for its purpose. I'm not partial to it myself because of the side nav (something that still annoys me about grooveshark). I'm also not a huge fan of all the blank space around the search box. I also attached my graphic design friend's concept that I'll probably make a push toward if people like it. I'll certainly be using the logo at least. :) [/QUOTE]
