Question: How do you control the Slimserver?
    
- Stock Handheld Remote
- 3rd Party Remote (Harmony, Nokia, PDA, &c)
- Web Interface
- 3rd Party Computer Interface (Moose, JRMC, &c)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a silent PC in my main room, so use the web interface on that
most of the time.

I find that it works, but I would like more control over the look and
feel - much of the screen area is wasted, while some common operations
are several clicks.  Of course, this is just for me - others will have
their own systems.

An ideal interface for me would have frames that I could create, move
around and customise, into which I could put things - my favourite
genres (e.g. a 'Baroque' genre frame that listed my baroque artists),
AlienBBC, Playlists, Server settings etc.  Then there would be a large
frame for whatever the current selection from these subframes is, and a
large frame for 'now playing/playlist.

Presumably Skins are not easy to write?  Is there a guide anywhere?  It
might be a fun weekend project, one of those that stretches a little
beyond the weekend... :)

Finally I have stopped using my HTC Universal as it keeps turning off
the wifi and connecting to the net on each refresh (that would get
expensive quite quickly!); anyway it's just too small and slow.  The
remote is OK, but the web interface is just faster for the way I like
to browse.
