Hi;
I have been working
on some GUI improvements in MythMusic -- its coming along ok & hopefully
will finish before my holidays do, so wanted to check firstly that the owner of
this code does not object and secondly that I'm not repeating what someone else
is doing.
The look and feel
has not changed much; but as a taster -- here is what I have so far.
1. I've built
several views into the tree. By default you see the "Active Play Queue" but at
full width (equivelant to show-whole-tree being false) because I don't like the
way that you lose 1/4 of the screen when show-whole-tree is enabled.
Up and down work as before but left and right cycle between
Active playlist
Artist list
Genre list
Playlist list
Search facility
2. In any of these
screens you can use up/down/select to browse the catalog, browsing into
Artists/Albums etc as you wish
3. In any of these
screens hitting PLAY will play that item (e.g. on an artist plays everything by
that artist etc).
4. The search
facility lets you type a few characters and it lists all the artists that
match. To do this, I implemented a new Myth widget called a MythKeyboard,
which shows you a picture of a keyboard and lets you use
up/down/left/right/select to type. For good measure I have also attached
this to MythLineEdit and MythRemoteLineEdit types, so hitting MENU in any text
input field now displays a keyboard.
5. Some suprtficial
changes - adding icons, and a few minor changes to the theme (removing the
play,ffwd icons to make the artwork bigger), though there is no code changes
there, just theme.
