touchscreen mods

jw76 Wrote:Thanks for adding this functionality in the 2.0 release. I have modified the SystemTray to include an icon that emulates the 'm' key. Problem being, when the overlay appears on the screen, there is no way to close this from the touch screen. Since player controls display, disables all other controls on the screen.

Does anyone know, if a method exists, to enable all existing controls on the screen (eg the SystemTray buttons) , when presented with the player controls display? I could also add a "PreviousMenu" button to the player controls window...

Go into PlayerControls.xml and add a button that is positioned near the system tray area so it overlaps the "m" key with an <onclick>Dialog.Close(PlayerControls)</onclick>

You may also make it so when the PlayerControls dialog appears, the buttons on the system tray (play,stop,fastforward,etc) dissapear by including <visible>!Window.IsActive(PlayerControls)</visible> for each button.

Hope that helps.

Would it be possible to add up/down arrows in the media browsing section? Like when in the Music Library and it has the scroll bar on the right, but you can only slide the bar or click a position. A page up/down button would also do perfect.

Adding the arrows to the first screen has finally let me use this skin with touch, so thank you!

Thanks will take a look.

I had actually planned on adding this for my own use as well ;-) I will update the thread once available.

I would like to make a few requests that I think would make touch screen navigation a bit easier. If these can be implemented it would make XBMC and this skin the ultimate touchscreen kiosk (IMO)

Would it possible to add a button either on the "top bar," or have a custom system tray with the button included (or wherever plausible) that would invoke a toggle for the "context menu" command?

(i.e. press the "context menu" button then make your selection)

This would be nice to have if your touchscreen doesn't have a driver that supports "tap and hold" or "right click"

Also, when you are in the "context menu" can a "back" or "close" button be added to get you out of the menu?

Now this next request is more of a personal one...I don't particularly like how the "root directory" icon sits next to your media files when you opt to have it show up. Now this is totally necessary to have when using a touchscreen to go one level up in navigation....Can this root directory button be put somewhere else in a more subtle area? Perhaps a custom system tray as mentioned above?

Finally....I'm a former Xlobby user which is a HTPC software similar to XBMC. Most of their skins are designed for touchscreen/kiosk usage. I was wondering if a VIEW can be made for the music, video, TV show categories that would have a "Play" "Queue", and "Playlist" button next to each track/file like in this picture:

Also, In the playlist can a VIEW be made with a "Up" "Down" and "Delete" button next to each track/file like in this picture:

Thanks in advance
