What about putting the buttons on the top? This would only work if
the sb is the top piece of equipment but it would give it a cleaner
front.

Yep, you're right, they were too small, I resized them to the same

Screen remains the same size as the current squeezebox.
Thoughts:
-- black camp :) but see if the pics can show a matte-black finish vs.
jet gloss black.
-- move the screen to the left (the design is not symmetrical and
putting the screen in the center makes it feel lopsided.)
-- power button lower left corner. Rectangular, tactile feel/soft
touch, momentary.
-- headphone jack to the right of the power button.
-- replace the control pad with:
-- large, weighted, volume/selection knob on the far right.
-- three buttons to the left of the volume knob:
-- Left button (momentary up/down rocker): Mode select.
Depending on menu arrangement/options/modes, might be able to get rid
of this button.
-- Middle button (momentary): Item select
-- Right button (momentary left/right rocker): menu left/right.
In place of left-right rocker for menu left-right, could use digital
potentiometer (smaller knob) with detents for each selection.
-- volume knob controls menu up/down when in any mode but volume.
Spinning the weighted volume knob will have affect of fast scrolling.
-- volume mode is entered automatically (timer expires) or by
selection (press/hold select button). (Remote has it's own modes,
buttons, etc.)
-- buttons have tactile feel: rubber-click.
-- buttons and knobs are backlit. Option to dim/turn off control
backlights after timer expires. Backlights turn on as necessary, i.e.
whenever a button is pressed or knob is turned.
-- No mechanical limits on knobs. Volume knob must spin. Digital
pot (left/right menu select) should be turnable any direction at any
time.
Thoughts?
