- fab4 needs the select skin option

options should be "remote skin" and "touch skin."  no need to mention "squeezebox touch" in the name of the options. 
 
- squeezeplay definitely needs it (see above comment)

squeezeplay should also retain the "fullscreen" option

- controller maybe

after discussion, probably not.  If enabling auto-sideways display, we should name another menu option for this.

r6133 removes fullscreen skin option on all platforms.

leaving the bug open and changing summary to reflect comment #1

If there's an option to lock the interface into the remote (large font) skin, then shouldn't there also be one to lock it into the touch (small font) skin, even when using the IR from more than a few feet away?  The current 'touch' skin is really an auto-adjusting mode.  The chosen terminology would have to be confusing for anyone who uses the remote all the time, since they would seldom even see the touch skin.

This is a non-issue on controller and baby now as Select Skin does not appear there. On desktop and Fab4, it does. It offers the correct options (in desktop, all skins, in fab4 only WQVGA skins), but the strings need help.

We need to revisit this for Fab/8.0:

what we have currently:

Select Skin
    WQVGA Large Print Skin
    WQVGA Small Print Skin
    QVGA Portrait Skin
    QVGA Landscape Skin

what Weldon proposed:
Select Skin
    Remote Skin
    Touch Skin
    (nothing suggested for the other two, which are seen on Desktop SP)

I'd like to suggest this:
Select Skin
    Touch Small
    Touch Large
    Controller
    Radio

this makes the names product-based, which I think is the correct route. Perhaps we could modify the strings when seen on Fab4 to just "Small" and "Large"...dunno, but Small is not going to be Touch-only, so calling it the "Touch Skin" isn't quite right.

Regardless, this is not Baby/7.4 P1 now that the code hides select skin from it and Controller.

This bug is no longer valid

on Fab4, Settings->Select Skin->Remote Skin and Settings->Select Skin->Touch Skin are now available options for selecting the 3' vs. 10' UI based on input style (IR Remote and Touch)

default is Large Text (WQVGAlargeSkin) when IR remote is in use, Small Text (WQVGAsmallSkin) when touch input is detected.

This bug has been marked fixed in a released version of Squeezebox Server or the accompanying firmware or mysqueezebox.com release.
