thanks for all of the ideas. I'll respond to them one at a time... 1) She liked the bigger album display when using Telcanto on an Axim. Overall now playing interface is much better, just liked the a bigger picture. I like big cover art too, but I'm not sure how I'd layout the page if I went any bigger...I'll noodle on this one and add it to my list as an enhancement idea. 2) Same question regarding the Repeat and Random icons - what are they and why can't you click them. Once explained it made sense. Agree with earlier post on not adding text, keep it clean. One idea might be to put a background behind the repeat and random icons so them look like a header rather than a clickable icon? I think what I'm going to do is leave those icons the light gray color when I darken the others (see next request) 3) When you put the 770 down flat (e.g. on a table), the light grey (teal?) icons and text wash out. Maybe another color? yeah, this needs to be done. it's been on my list for some time. 4) If click on Squeezebox's Playlist when it's empty, the image is not sized correctly - scrolls right. what image? Need more info... 5) If click on a Squeezebox's Playlist when it's full of songs, there are not icons for Play, Move Up, Move Down, Next, Remove, etc. Looks like text box image place holders? These basically split the screen in half and causes songs to wrap. The functionality is great! I've seen this under certain circumstances, and I can tell you it's an issue with the Opera browser and not the skin per se. I don't know how I can fix this, but I will see if there's anyway of preloading images into opera's cache (esp. ones that are used repeatedly throughout a page like these) workarounds: configure slimserver through server settings to not display as many items/page. hit the playlist icon a second time when you see this and the images may load on the page refresh. 6) Does not appear to be ability to delete a playlist? Typical situation is when I do a playlist rescan, it pulls playlists from iTunes I don't want so I go in to delete them from Slimserver. It's in the default skin with a second confirmation step. How is "clear" playlist different than "delete" playlist? 6) What does the Download button do when on a Playlist screen? I don't use this feature, but its intention is to export your current playlist as an .m3u file, which could then be saved somewhere on your PC where you could call it up again. I just tried it and it worked fine...items in the .m3u were full file paths to those tracks (not slimserver-specific). BTW, this is your second #6 ;) 7) When you scroll in a playlist, would it be possible to keep the top icon in place. Thinking of something like a frame for the playlist, but sure that's not the right way to do it. Usage example is if you scroll of the bottom of a playlist to force a song to play next (AWESOME FUNCTION!), you then have to scroll all the way back up to get to the Now Playing icon. If I can do it with css, I'll give it a shot. I want to keep this skin frame-free though, so that's not an option. added to my list. 8) Possible to slightly increase font size for the menu on the Settings page? My fat fingers always click the wrong thing should be able to do this with css. on the list 9) When perform a search for a song title (e.g. Civil War by GnR), the result is VERY FAST and more importantly, CORRECT. Can you also show the artist and album? All that shows is the title, so if there's multiple results it would be hard to tell. on the list Idea - I'm getting a 1GB RS-MMC card. Wonder if it's possible to store album images on the card so it pulls those local rather than OTA. Should be quicker? not a chance will I do that one. that's way beyond the scope of this project. thanks for all the input. My list is growing rather than shrinking these days and haven't had much "fun" development time while my paying job has been busy. I hope to get to this stuff reasonably soon though... cheers, #!/ben public to-do list for the skin: http://mcstayinskool.tadalist.com/lists/public/170297 -- bklaas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19369 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
