"designed for touch interface with touchscreens"
isn't that just like an apple pie with applesHuh


- ROEDK - 2011-03-31

Just moved this skin from my test laptop, to, what will eventually become, my livingroom HTPC.
While testing on the laptop there was an M-icon on the filelist to open the context menu and allow for scanning for new content and so on, and a Q-icon I never really figured out what did.

On the HTPC those icons arent there. Where do I go to enable them?
I feel like I've been through every configuration screen, but I cant find anything resembling a "Enable contextmenu button".

And is there a reason why they were invisible, until clicked, on the laptop?
Can they be set to permantly visible?

The Title Name was renamed a long time ago Big Grin ... I think it was a moderator from this Forum.

They are permanently visible. It not exist a skin setting for this one.
M=Menu (Context etc.)
Q=Que (file/folder to Playlist)
they are many "M" in many Views ... nothing there ?

you can make a test if you copy the guisettings.xml from the laptop to the HTPC (please make a copy before you overwrite). Ore install my new Vers. 0.79 over my Repo.

WOW !!!! Shocked

I really LOVE your skin ! Nod

I use it for 1 hour now on my 8.4" 800x600 touchscreen, and it's the best XBMC touchscreen experience I had !

For now, it seems to be very (maybe too much) complete.
Lots of options and functions everywhere.

I will check that in the next days.

Congratulations for your work Wink

Congratulations to an excellent touchscreen skin!

I am using joggler on the origenae s16t with a 16:9 format in a 1280x768 resolution. It works fine with touch control and also with the imon soundgraph IR remote control.

The small screen is high located quite high so that one can look at it standing (ie without crawling on the floor)

I put some of the main functions onto the imon remote, such as MUSIC OSD on Music button, even AQUARIUM on the VIDEO Button and WEATHER on the TV Button, as I use XBMC mainly to stear my music on the small screen.

Joggler is a GREAT program, many thanks from Germany to you!

-John

PS. found out that this was first done for a device sold in the UK, not any more on sale now. Lucky for us, owners of small touchscreens from other firms!

Thanks ! and greetz back from Germany Smile


- quickbluehorse - 2011-05-12

Hey, why did I think that you are in England... that is fun, that you too are in Germany.

Just to give you some idea, I have just finished - more or less - my HTPC project, and it has been a hell of a work to get things to work. Of course the case I chose has this 7 inch display, and so your touchscreen skin for xbmc just made my day completely - once i figured out how to get it and install it. I think you could at the very least have a DONATE possibility somewhere.

By the way, when i think of the many hours work that went into my project, I find it a little a shame that such knowledge has to be lost. Soundgraph and imon, for example, have a horrid support situation. They sit in Korea, barely speak English, but their products are top of the line in that area. I thought about contacting them, to set up a support section in Europe for them.

Right now I am trying to figure out the XBMC command - if there is one - that directs the program output of XBMC to one of two screens - such as on my system. This would be great, in order to be able to press a key on the remote and have XBMC on the TV or on the TOUCH. So far I did not find such a possibility. Switch betwenn fullscreen mode and window is possible, no problem. I can also switch on AQUARIUM with the remote.

<F6>XBMC.System.Exec(c:\windows\system32\MarineAquarium3.scr)</F6>

That is the definition need in the XBMX/userdate/keymaps/keymaps.xml file (where one places user-defined behaviour of keys, which override the general defs in the system keymap.xml), and after that one only adds the definition for F6 in the imon settings for the xbmc program. I more or less guessed the command from info on the Internet, so I am posting it here for others who might want to use this feature as well. Cool, fish swimming in the TV .... Smile

The command looks like a system function call. I wonder if I could also use to direct the output from TV to TOUCH (screen#1, screen#2 in the XBMC video settings)? Hmm....

So I guess one keeps finetuning.

What I found a little irritating, is when the Music interface switches from FILE BROWSING MODE to DATABASE MODE. It is not so easy to find the switch between the two modes. That I would also like to find an XBMC command for! I think there is a point when it does that switch automatic, but I am not sure. If so, that would be a bug.

Best greetings from Ratingen!
