Bugzilla – Bug 4514
misc enhancements to Nokia770/Touch skins
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:12:53 UTC
good suggestions periodically come up in the forums. I'm not able to work on these suggestions immediately, so I'm opening a bug against it, assigned to myself, for a future reminder. More suggestions come up, here's where I will put them... annotation from me comes with lines marked >> SUGESTION: make a bigger BACK button on every page. >> not sure if this is possible, given the fact that you'd be going often be going back to URLs that were sending commands to slimserver via the URL, thus duplicating your action. Will noodle this... SOME OTHER SUGESTIONS: More buttons: Make buttons of EVERY link. It's easier to view a button than a text link Exemples: in navigation: next, previous, page numbers, ... Info bar below: server settings, player settings about, ... >> i'm not against it, but i'm a cruddy graphic designer. would need help. Artwork browser: Why is an album displayed when there is no artwork for it ? Maybe you can make an option: show ALL albums or only albums with artwork. >> I could have sworn this was already a server setting, but now I can't find it. If it got removed, it should come back. Search Function: I don't have a keyboard connected to my touchscreen. Is it possible to intgrate a keyboard in the skin itself: A..Z; 0..9 >> on-screen keyboard has already been added to the search page for Touch in 7.0 branch. Will explore putting it on any page that has a form to fill out (internet radio and playlist save I think will cover it. I have no interest in doing an onscreen keyboard for the settings pages) Why black/white ? Is it not possible to put some color in the interface with nice 3D Buttons/Images and so? Allmost everyone has a color screen and the interface is in black, grey and white. >> they are black and white because I shamelessly stole them from the old "Touch" skin that existed pre-6.5. My graphics skill stink, and if this is going to change (I'd like it to), it's got to be driven by someone else.
>> I could have sworn this was already a server setting, but now I can't find it. If it got removed, it should come back. it was garbage, so it was removed. it was keeping the artwork and album lists from being common, thus introducing errors and constant bitching and complaining when one didn't equal the other. While some check could be made at render time, this adds a large amount of complexity to the already painful pagebar that far outweighs the benefits. As it stands, this still wouldn't cover all cases of the placeholder just as it didn't in the old browse artwork.
in regard to enhancements. Some volume control images are missing from the newer version of the volume settings block in trunk. vol_symbol2.gif, volume_up.gif and volume_down.gif. as reported here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29919 I'm assuming that its a simple case of forgetting svn add before svn commit for the new files.
quite right. those three images are now added/committed to both trunk and 6.5 branches.
FYI-- Adding (bin) vol_symbol2.gif Adding (bin) volume_down.gif Adding (bin) volume_up.gif Transmitting file data ... Committed revision 10761.
Ben: is this fixed for 7.0?
This can close.
