Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2003 14:49:41 +0100 Hi all, oh my god !!! GREAT work !! I really love it, and I think it was time to deeply "RE-Think" the rockbox interface. -new icons are really nice looking -the Sound menu is just Great ! -the Video Inverse selection is really useful wishes and remarks: general : - I am not a big fan of Play/Pause and OFF act everywhere the same. but maybe I have to get used to it ;) - use left to exit a menu (to go back of one level I mean, as right Key is used to enter a menu...). (yeah.... why is left not used while in menu?? ;) ) - ON/F1/F3 would go back to Browser/WPS/Sound directly (while in a menu) (and not back up of one level in the menu hierarchy as left Key is already doing so). - I really miss the QuickConfig screens that are available in the normal Rockbox. I think it would be nice to display them after a long press (one sec. or so) on F1 F2 F3 : .A long click on F1 would bring a sort of "context menu" : delete/rename/record/createplaylist/editplaylist... while in Browser mode and editID3/showID3/PichUp/PitchDown/ while in WPS. .A long click F2 would bring the General Setting quick Screen (fileview,followplaylist, StatusBar) .A long click on F3 would Bring the Play Settings Quick Screen (RepeatMode/ShuffleMode/resume/EqPresets) (this would also remove the ON+Play and ON+F1 tricky shortcuts :) ) sound menu : - I would prefer to have dB instead of %age for bass/Treble/loudness (make more sense in my opinion) - balance 50% should be 0 (centre) (more logical isn't it ?) - I have the feeling that the volume control is way too sensitive when going above 60. I actually prefer the oldschool one. more precise and easier to use. - the mini icon volume seems not to match the value showed the volume slider. while the slider is at 47, the mini icon shows 0. -I also liked the fact the original rockbox shows the volume as numerical value in the status bar when changing it. it is missing it this release.
