What else should you do on a rainy day...atleast overhere...
buttons sent to you Richard in an email

that was a hard day. lol

nope been hot here all day.

the power menu would go to your version for the time been as I need to sort that out to and the same for the menu until I sort it
I was thinking of something like this when nothing is playing what you think the side images I mean

Image
They look great! Also in the other theme colors? :-)
yes that's why I decided to do that as its a filter over the image so it can be changed to match the other theme colours

its not final I might have it go darker to lighter from centre of the image but you get the idea and the way I am heading with it.

I wonder if you would consider to add the possibility to enlarge fanart picture or artist picture by double tapping on the image itself, perhaps by getting a popup with a enlarged image? I know that this is not necessary but I think it would be nice feature.

But is it just the image, or also additional info (like description, birthday, etc)?

I don't know, I was just thinking of the fanart and the artist image.

its easier than doing every single button again and in every colour since you can use the single highlighted layer and place it under the buttons. you would have to work out the centre of each button to place this in the right location

So in this view you will not see anymore the BluRay, HD logo, audio info etc anymore? Or is it moved to somewhere else?

exactly or by singel or double tap. some kind of popup window with enlarged image of the artist and same thing at the right side with the fanart, I guess this will be identical for all views like in movies... according to meridius screenshots

Yes you will see the logos but not the play buttons. Don't take any notice of that it was just a sample of what I was doing at the time you have to remember I have other 500 layers in the design and would take 5 min to switch all the layers to the correct ones for that view so I dont bother. So when I add say a small feature I would not change all the layers just to match the correct one for one small feature . This is why I ask to take note of the item I am changing and not the rest of it.

I was just showing how the touch glow would work for the play buttons. It will not have the play buttons In That view but will have the logos.

I can not be bothered to change all the layers to the correct ones just to show a certain part of a new feature but it will be right In The release of Richards remote.

Oh okay! I understand you Smile I'm happy that you two have found a very nice way to work with each other on this beautiful remote app Smile
I have always wanted to do a remote app for kodi as I have had lots of ideas in my head for a year or so but never been able to grasp programming, I just can not get my head around it which annoys me because I wish I could do it because I have always been keen. I have always been good at design but that's about it.

I am happy that Richard took me on board so I could show him my ideas and improve on his app which to be honest has come a very long way in the last 3 months. Its one of the most customizable remotes out there and almost like a skinning remote app like you get for kod for using the main device.

I just can not wait to see how the remote view come out.
here's I a quick pic of the final design of the remote view its hard work getting the sizes and positions right for the lower res ipads but I am getting there..

Image

there will be more colour user options to but once the remote view is done I will send Richard the different colour options.

I am still working on the subtitles and audio menus and pull down menu,
...and I love the flags Smile
