Several points here: - requirements kept getting changed during the design process. If I'd known what functionality would be supported at this point when the design started, this feature might look quite different than it does right now. - The original design was much more compact (Just the album cover area with the transport control overlays and artist/album info). And, even when the design gets refactored, it will still be less than full-page size. The idea is to give the typical user an easy means to navigate away from the website while keeping the Web Remote Control within easy reach (the "pop-up" behavior keeps users from needing to manually open a new tab/window; the smaller size makes it possible to have the Remote open next to another browser window or application at the same time). - We definitely plan to add design and functionality improvements going forward. The redesign is just a new foundation; we can still keep building and making design improvements going forward. -- mweldon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mweldon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20047 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67501 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
