PROTECTED] deepest appreciations to the simplicity of Elisa' design... Hence
this comment.It would be neat if there was a setting defining what kind of
media one wants to use the media center for... Like if he only wants music, it
only displays the settings and music icon in the front view.Different settings
could then include extra plugins like the skype and browser, which I think will
destroy the simplicity if they where to be added as icons in the first
screen.The idea is to define the front screen icons: - MediaCenter (All icons
are set) - MusicCenter (only Settings & Music, redirects to Music by default) -
MovieCenter (only Settings & Movies, redirects to Movies by default) -
PictureCenter (only Settings & Pictures, redirects to Pictures by default) -
Custom (lists all available icons)
Yes is a good idea!
Speaking about these in my opinion I see very well this front screen icons: -
MediaCenter (All icons are set) - MusicCenter (only Settings & Music, redirects
to Music by default) - MovieCenter (only Settings & Movies, redirects to Movies
by default) - PictureCenter (only Settings & Pictures, redirects to Pictures by
default)
- CommunicationCenter (containing plugins like the Calls/Video Calls, maybe
mail reader why not,etc..)
- News (containing plugins like RSS-reader,podcast,movie trailers,
browser,etc..)
- Settings (to configure Elisa) - CustomApps (lists all available icons)
Maybe in the future a good compromise can be a Menu Configurator in the
settings menu
I know...I'm dreaming too much by now...
Cheers
Andrea
