(Yes, my subject is joking, of course I think my suggestions are great!)
Hi developers,
Firstly, thank you - XBMC is awesome, XBMC remote is awesome. I donated many years ago when it was on the Xbox and the hard work is appreciated.
#1 Maximise App
Long story short, is it possible to have a button on the XBMC Remote maximise the application? I know it sounds kind of silly but I RDP in to my little HPTC / NAS / All in one all the time - but when I get home it would be lovely to just hit a button on the remote and it brings XBMC up.
(This may be a windows limitation? Hope not)
#2 "Swipe" between modes
I think from a design perspective, I would love to be on the "remote" mode and simply swipe the screen left to go to movies or right to go to TV for example.
Obviously you would need to set the 'swipe speed' and 'swipe distance' so it doesn't occur accidentally - but I would LOVE this feature.
(I hate having to go "back, back" and manually in to the TV / Movies mode)
#3 Gesture based navigation (no need to look at the XBMC remote)
Would love to be able to play / pause, 30 second block forward, 30 second blocck back and navigate the menus without looking at the remote at all.
I think this needs a lot more thought than what I just put in to that because clearly it's a big, complex feature but it could be .. well bloody good.
Anyhow, thanks for your time, hope the suggestions are useful.
Keep up the great work.
