[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 190425, member: 14004"] I agree, and this is something as a team we will be moving towards - simplicity over complexity. I personally like the concept of the basic home screen, but there is just so much more functionality in the regular home screen that it becomes the standard for everyone. I think achieving the look of the basic home screen with the functionality of the regular home screen should be the goal, instead of having multiple options for the same thing. I like your idea with the shutdown, restart and exit buttions. I've been working on a method of simplifying those buttons for a little bit now. I dont like the current state those buttons are in. It's still far to complex for the novice user. Im thinking something along the lines of simply Turn Off and Exit, when Exit will close the MP application, and Turn off becomes an option you setup in the settings menu for either turning off the computer completely, suspending the machine, or putting it into hibernation - that way someones elderly grandmother would only need to know that Turn Off would actually turn off the box. ;) [/QUOTE]
