Hi Isaac!
#### The biggest issue I see with this is that the
text is really too small to show up well on a TV.
Stuff's gotta be quite a bit bigger.
Well it looks fine on a 28" square PAL UK TV. I also
have it on a 42" plasma screen and it looks superb! In
fact the text could even be smaller on these hi-res
screens. Also, for the people using LCD/monitor
screens then this isn't a problem at all of course.
The only audience I think would be excluded would be
people using small televisions.... but then who has
small tv's in their lounge?
Also, I hope to implement an option to easily
increase/decrease font sizes of all text on the
mythmusic screen.... this works very well on my Visual
Basic prototype through my TV. This feature will
allow people to easily find the right balance between
their eyesight and size of Tv in order to produce
optimum sized lists in the trees... and without having
to venture out of the MythMusic program to fiddle with
the settings.
#### Also, how is navigating through a single
alphabetical list of artists faster than, say, the
splitartist view in the playlist editor?
Ultimately I want to replace the current Playlist
Editor and the Smart Filters altogether!
It will be very easy to scroll down the list when we
get the 'Page Down' feature implemented. Also on the
'list of things to do'is the 'filters' feature which
will allow you to filter out certain artists from
specified Genre's and Era's from the Artist
List...depending on your mood.
Have a read of the feature requests/Trac on the
sourceforge site... there are also some VB pics on
some of them showing my intentions.
Obviously people have different preferences. I prefer
this design as do all of my friends. To quote my
brother "I like your design because its the first such
program that even 'tards' like my girlfriend can use.
### But, development for mythmusic is good. =)
indeed, and thanks for the tip on the widget handling.
Let me know of any more observations/considerations to
be made.
cheers!
