Hi, first off all for all the people who don't read the cvs logs: my new skin is making progress. It can look like blue1_big, blue1_small, blue_round1 and aubin_round1 (called blue_round2 in the new skin). Everything is located in skins/dischi1. Also working: mp3 player and the beginning of the extended view (press DISPLAY inside the audio menu to take a look, only in blue1_big). Still missing is the tv module. The popup boxes won't be implemented, that part is done by gui/* now (only integrated in video/videoitem.py right now). Nice feature for testing: press DISPLAY in the main menu to get a skin selector.
But now to the reason I write this mail: the DISPLAY button should toggle the normal and the extended view. But what is the extended view? First of all, we have text and image listings. We need them both, image should be default and the skin should switch back to text view if the images are all the same (e.g. inside a mp3 folder with one cover). So DISPLAY could toggle text and image view. Maybe there is also an image with text view, but I think it's still an image view. Second we have an info area. The tv menu toggles between a large listing and a smaller one with an info area. We can also have an info area for the movie/audio/image/games menu. Should DISPLAY toggle between with and without info area? Right now in the current skin and in the new skin in the audio directory, freevo toggles between text without info and image with info. But do we want that? When freevo auto switches back to text view because we are inside a mp3 folder, don't we still want the info area? Should DISPLAY toggle between all four states? Idea: DISPLAY toggles between simple and extended. Simple is the current text view. Extended is image with view area. When all images are the same, extended is text with view area. Basicly we have three configurations, but you can toggle between two, and the extended part toggles automaticly between two internal choices. Suggestions, comments please. Dischi -- I don't do drugs anymore 'cause I find I get the same effect just by standing up really fast. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
