That looks very nice. Functional, practical, while still having a high-end look. Couple of comments: I am concerned that the label backlighting on the buttons beneath the display detracts from the display. However, this will go away when the backlighting dims down.

I think you could have a smoked glass lens/bezel which protruded slightly, just as Andrew has drawn here: http://audiofi.dudehost.com/other/squeezeboxtextured2.gif The display itself would be recessed. Enough space needs to be present around the display to prevent hiding part of it behind the edges of the front bezel, when viewing it from the side. The bezel looks good to me either way (recessed or protruded), but is easier to keep clean if protruded. -- I think the power button will now look better horizontally (sorry for the churn; the display moved right and the resulting open space needs to be re-balanced). Also, the button seems just a tiny bit too small. Maybe 15-20% larger (length and width, i.e. retain the aspect ratio.) -- The toggle button will need to be lengthened a little (20%?) to be used comfortably. -- For some reason, the toggle and select buttons on the right don't seem to fit with the whole design any more. I think they look too bright/bold; too prominent. My eye is drawn to them, and they don't deserve that attention. Maybe move them down from center (so that the lower edge of the buttons aligns with the lower edge of the display)? Anyone have suggestions for them? -- Dave D _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
