Hi Waldo,

The Material skin is advancing rapidly with the version in development -
v1.4, will contain a black theme, and a color selection tool for
widgets. The new black theme with the new screensaver feature looks
great on a display that is to be left on permanently.

I am looking around for a tablet with two USB ports, so I can charge on
one, and stream audio out on the other. I picked up an Emotiva Ego USB
DAC that works well with an OTG cable, so I was thinking I could use a
tablet for streaming to this USB DAC as well as control, but from what I
can tell it is difficult/impossible to stream data and charge off the
same USB port using Android, so I would need a tablet with two ports.

Additionally, I have been testing using a VPN service, so I then could
run the Material Skin in Fully Kiosk remotely. I am running the Android
app SB Player, and this also works via the VPN IP addr. I am using the
free NeoRouter VPN service to connect to my server at home running LMS.
Assuming a good connection using WiFi somewhere, it all works. I live in
Silicon Valley and recently I did a trip to Austria, and it all worked.
