[WIP] Joggler - a new skin designed for touch interface with touchscreens

I tried the new home but for the love of me I couldn't get where I wanted with mouse... but then I ain't that keen to 'intuitive touch interfaces' /me likes mouse...

Now to the second thing and maybe related to 'dependencies not met issue', logo downloader was marked broken as it is replaced by artwork downloader.

IIRC your skin uses logo downloader and maybe that's the error - at least for me XBMC asks me every start to disabled it though before shutdown it was disabled already...

ahhh, and I liked better the click--to-time in video playing than click and drag to time... maybe you could give this as an option please.

Cheers.

Quote:time to change from logo downloader to artwork downloader?

yes of course ... I really do not know when, next week's

Hello,

Got somehow keen of the new metro though I miss fast access to various submenus.

I experienced crashes in the last day (latest update of skin) when the player gets in standby - some memory leak since I noticed all RAM being eaten up like a candy by a fat man.

Is this the reason the skin got marked broken in the repo? (got the message when starting xbmc)

Cheers.

http://www.mimomonitors.com/products/mim...-usb-ports got it second hand for just $100. works amazingly well with XBMC (keep in mind it's resistive matrix). Found Joggler skin to be best fitting to touch only control, and small resolution control interface (1024x600)

Only vital feature is missing (for people who are using only touchscreen to control XBMC, no keyboard)- minimize button available always in the corner somewhere. I can do that via XBMC.Shutdown function, but it's gone after skin updates, and going to power menu is annoying. so, please, djtoll

Button at TOP Left in METRO Home ... " FULL S."
and when you are in other Menus (Music, video, Pictures etc.) you must go to the navigation/power Button ... 2 Clicks

djtoll Wrote:Button at TOP Left in METRO Home ... " FULL S."

(actually 3 instead of 1: navigate-power-minimize)
that is exactly what I'm doing, but that just doesn't seems to be right, especially for second option, because in original Joggler skin power menu there is no button which does XBMC.Shutdown (could be configured for minimise). so ok- I'm modifying DialogButtonMenu.xml to put that (or directly <onclick>XBMC.Minimize()</onclick> ) function below say Reboot, but after skin get's automatic update my 'fix' is gone. And if I didn't notice skin update- PC really reboots... Just doesn't seems to be right for such advanced skin with so many control knobs already built in... Minimize button may be also configurable to be visible or not via skin configure. I understand dedicated minimize button is obsolete when you have real keyboard on hands (Win+M works fine), but from my experience with touch-only control that is missing most wanted built in function.
p.s. in windowed mode my touchscreen looses XBMC graphic (maybe some configuration issue), good I know Full S. button location by mind

"Shutdown System" not work ? I can´t check this at the moment on my default PC (to many applications are open )


Ok, i can put an Minimize Button to the skin, only where? any Ideas?
EDIT: possibly where the date and time is at Home Window
