First, developers that might work on such a thing might be reading the dev mailing list and not the users list... I think "a proper gui" needs a whole lot of definition. I don't think "proper GUI" is an objective way of describing a specific vision of a GUI. What you may consider proper, someone else might consider crap. > I think usability is something that would help roxbock to beat iriver in > every respect. An by "beat" you mean "look better" ? I personally cannot and have never understood how any sane person can say that iriver's firmware is better, easier or more user-friendly than Rockbox. I couldn't understand it while I used it. Luckily those days are passed tense now.

When you go pondering further on this subject I only want you to remember a few things: * custom language strings * custom font * speach (i.e "talking menus") * various LCD sizes * various LCD depths When you cover them and bring a nice eye-candy GUI at the same time, I bet many users will support it. (I also better point out that these are *MY* opinions and I do not speak for anyone else.) -- Daniel Stenberg -- http://www.rockbox.org/ -- http://daniel.haxx.se/Received on 2006-03-03 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
