ok here is the first pic

as you can see its just the same as my other pic I did but with one extra control you can see it at the left side of the screen a littlie bar. you touch that bar and then slide it to the right or just touch it depending on how rschiks could program it if he decides to add this feature.



and then once the button is touched or swiped this happens an animated window as you see its a blurred window with all them extra settings and options which could be user editable by adding new command or removing them just like xbmc commander.

then you hit the arrow button to slide or touch to animate the window back to closed once done or you could leave the window open and still you the touch panel at the right hand side as normal so that you can still use the touch features.

what you think best of both worlds and remember this was just a quick mock up to show what I mean. I added some drop shadows behind the icons and text to make them pop more and more readable

oh this could also be done for the bar at the bottom of the screen to so that could be a hidden sliding window so that you could have the bar or not this keeps the whole thing tidy and other features accessible at the same time.

just a quick pic a dark theme bar for rschiks dark theme



the bottom bar is not finalised as I still am not to happy about it. I was going to do some different colour types and see what was the best out of them all but the dark one seems to be better than the white what do you think
