MelonMonkey, enjoyed your thoughts here (and sent you a PM about restyling either Nokia770 or Touch). The only point that I might disagree with you on is streamlining the slimserver UI, because I don't think there's a lot to cut. IMO, there isn't anything on the slimserver web interface, with the exception maybe of full artwork gallery browsing of albums, that should take more than a heartbeat to load on a reasonable network served from a reasonable slimserver. I even tried to address the artwork thing with the '1-by-1' artwork that only loads two album covers at a time. Also, I firmly believe that the user experience can be helped dramatically with AJAX. By using AJAX to send actions to slimserver in the background and returning control to the user immediately, this does wonders for perceived performance. IMO, far more than shrinking a 25K icon of a play button. cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas "the Nokia770 skin guy" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29699 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
