Well, maybe. I did not try it (does not work with Linux) but you have to laod all the images and video to do this effect. But I already have the mix of image viewer and image listing in my design. > Looks very nice and "bling-bling" indeed. :) However, I fear that this > sort of interface would *require* openGL (i.e. proprietary Nvidia or > Ati/AMD driver).

Therefore > I, for one, like the fact that Freevo is 'bling-bling less' (without > GL that is). I agree. Using clutter you can always fall back to software GL. But that is slow. So yes, most animation MUST be optional. But a special plugin doing stuff like piclens could require GL and you just can not use it. But you should still be able to browse your images with other plugins not using GL. What I wonder: is someone interessent in helping me designing such new interfaces for 2.0? I would liek some ideas including suggestions HOW it could work. > I don't know how TV out is w/ newer Nvidia cards and the proprietary > driver compared to my GeForce2MX (Ati, I think, will never have proper > *overscanned* tvout for Linux), maybe switching from PC-monitor to > TV-out works fine, but until that day I prefer a GL-less interface for > my Mediacenter. :) In the future you don't need TV-out, VGA/DVI/HDMI works just fine :) But like I wrote above, animations are optional.
