is there a way to create stateful buttons and/or have some true logic in determining what shows in the ui at any given time?
this is very useful to create a more intelligent ui.
basically... if we could build a logic statement (if-then) for individual buttons and images we could set the ui to display specific objects depending on the condition/state of other objects.
this is built into many other htpc and control software and it is really usefull!
examples:
condition where hd space drops below 5 gb and it puts up a warning message on the home screen.
new movies are added to the smb folder, so an alert is placed on the home screen showing the movie titles that were just added.
...and many more uses!
