I don't know how feasible this is, as I haven't looked at this part of the code but anyway, I'll write my ideas here and we can possibly get more inputs and improvements on it.
What I've been thinking for sometime is if there's a possibility to have a widget running in multiple sections, so that some widgets are able to take more real estate then others e.g. I don't use the library widget all that much but still like the option to have it around. So I'd like the widget to take the least amount of space possible. So what I've been thinking is if it would be possible to divide things in sections but have some widgets that could be considered more important take multiple sections.
One idea I came up with would be to divide everything 10 equally spaced sections (could be more, could be less) and assign say the Coming episodes to 5 sections (half the page). I think this would be ideal for most people as it gives more flexibility. What do you guys think?
Sounds awesome....
On a separate note, I would love to add a second "Now Playing" widget that uses a separate IP address from a second XBMC device.
I tried all day yesterday copying the current widget and changing variables around so it could read as a new widget and had no luck. I kept getting a blank page displayed.
