Forgive me but I need to rant little.... You know I am so sick of everybody equating the current trend of using white backgrounds as "modern". There is nothing inherently modern about white. Personally I find white backgrounds to be hard on the eyes and very distracting when used in darker environments, which is generally the case for media apps. What's even worse is when someone (not you) suggests that I give the app the "flatter" look of material design. Well, I spent hours pouring through the material design guide and changing the look to fit the design suggestions (flat control icons, elevated toolbars, floating cards where applicable, etc.). Nowhere in the guide does it say that "material" has to be white. Yes the default background is red and that's because I like red. If you don't like it change it. If you don't like any of them, pick a picture from your own collection. I'll give you the menu icons, the Logitech design is a little long on the tooth but it's better than no icons. From pippin's previous post, you can see how much of an investment is required to do a complete icon replacement. I draw the line at having to hire a graphic designer. Look at the current Gmail app, that's considered a "modern" design, right? Other than the white background and the dated menu icons, how different is Squeeze Ctrl's design scheme? Sorry but I just needed to get this off my chest. -------------- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96757 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
