I'm thinking to replace the old "applications" section with a video player (with the help of mplayer). What do you think of this idea ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vplFbqycMg

It's strange, it should not be so difficult. The pmenu makefile is very basic, and so should be easily build. No magic involved here !

Yup, i could just allow using the small or big fonts for every information text, would it be good enough ? Ps: really love all your latest skins guys :)

Keep in mind that for me, the minimal menu is not designed to run X applications. Things like gedit, firefox and all that stuff will not be launched by the menu for now. It's possible in the future, but i don't really see the need to rewrite something that is already done (there is a lot of X11...

I really like it, would be cool if you could actually do it for real :)

Ok so it's cool for me, you can in fact name it like you want, it's an option in the skin configuration file. So i will remove either current application or misc section. For artist/users it's transparent, just one section will disappear, and artist/users will have the choice to name/design that...

You mean instead calling the section "misc", call it "applications" ?

I think i may trash the application section, and only use games and emulators section for the menu, everything else would fail in Misc like dflmestr suggested. What do you think about it ?

Yep but , for me, all that section as nothing to do in a minimal menu (or not in the one i have in mind). I guess we could use the multi category possibility from the pxml. I could ask dev to use the secondary category for pmenu, or maybe add a pmenu category to pxml :x But your right, we may...

In fact the "misc" section is for apps that do not have "applications", "emulators" or "games" as category in the pxml file. This could be spelled "Uncategorized", "Others" etc ..

I do not have a pandora with a battery, i'll add that later when possible.

Ok thanks. I should be font font/size dependent but i guess i must have fucked something. I'll check tomorow. Thanks for the link, it's fixed now :)

Your skin is greater every hours mdave :) you last screen show me a little crap in my text box function, I forget to add a margin for the text, It will look better when added. Edit: or maybe you did not respect the box image width ?

Dflmestr, since your pretty good with XML stuff, would you have the time to write me a little C routine to retrieve the unofficial openpandora rss feeds :D ( just title and description returned as strings )

This library is in the "libs" folder, if you run the menu with inclued "run.sh" script it should load it for you.

Yes, it will be shipped with the menu and your skins :)

1 - Ok, will add that :) 2 - Other sections are the same as the games one. When you put a ".pnd" packaged, or not, application on your SD, if the application xml file (PXML.xml) is correctly done, you have a flag set to say in which section your app go. If this section is : "emulators", then it...

I need a loop to render scrolling text and some effect, but you'r welcome to try it out ! Mdave : love your skin :)

Yep it help :) And i did had support for pvr textures to my GLES2D library, but it's easier for people to use simple image for making the skins. I bet even 40-50 fps for the menu should be enough anyway. What slow down too is my ttf font rendering. I'm drawing a texture for every text char, but...

I say that because i tested it. Using 16 bits rgb images/textures in the menu instead 32 bits rgba when possible did improve the framerate for about 10 fps if I remember correctly, especially for large texture like the background (1024x512).
