Best skin for remote control use?
#1
Hello,

I'm using the Confluence skin, which I like a lot, but I've bumped into a few problems when using it with an universal remote control.

So, basically, when I'm browsing a video library list, I can't go to the home icon using the remote's cursor keys. This is the worst case, but I think there are others like that.

So, is there any skin that could avoid this?

Ha! I mostly use my aTV with a remote, so I never knew that was even a button because its not reachable via the remote. Looking at the skin file, I believe it's only accessible with the mouse. There's no way the up/dn/left/right navigation controls can get there as it doesn't even have an id. To get home quickly, I do Context Menu->Root->Back

Speaking of skins, I've been playing with Ellipsis. It's very remote friendly which is important with the aTV. You only get 6 buttons by default (they are dual action though if you hold the button for a long press), and 10 or 12 extra ones if you configure universal remote support.

Thanks, kraqh3d. I'll try Ellipsis, then.
