I will give other sources another try, but these sources come and go since they are mostly not legal. If you have a good suggestion for one, let me know. philly4 wrote: > > 3.

I will have a look at a remove option as well as an option to promote submenu items to the main menu (like Alarms or Playlists). philly4 wrote: > > a. Remove the app gallery from the home menu.

If Soundicity had a home menu customization, then that could be supressed there (see above). philly4 wrote: > > b. Remove favorites.

Again see item above. philly4 wrote: > > c. Add icons to all the text. > I am personally not a huge fan of those Logitech icons and I quite like Soundicity without it.This is more in line with Microsoft's Metro Design language which postulates a rather simple design without any chrome, but this is of course personal taste. iOS is quite different in that respect. The second reason is that I cannot retrieve all icons from the server and would need to provide them with the app. This could potentially lead to copyright issues since I don't own these icons. philly4 wrote: > > d.

Anyway, thanks again. Highly appreciated. Have a nice weekend, Marc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Marc Bartsch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97558
