So I'm kinda waffling a bit on how to design the bottom screen interface to handle the many features planned for BAGUI, so I'm opening this up to take in suggestions and design ideas on what to do with it. I mean I have a few idea's myself, but perhaps you guys may have better ones.
In this post I am including a very preview build of the menu so far. Please note it is not ship shape as a replacement to your current menu yet, thus, will not recieve any support if you cannot get it working, or if some of the planned features that have not been added yet don't work.
Some information of the menu:
-does not load files with more than one entry in it's .arg file yet
-use L and R to switch tabs
-select to take a screenshot
-you can tap covers to enlarge them if they are larger than the screen itself (some images can't be enlarged but you will be stuck in the view loop until you tap the image again)
Things that will not be changed:
-Top screen layout is pretty much set in stone with a potential for a few minor additions/changes
-the very general layout of covers and titles on the bottom screen
So basically I just need help figuring out where to place various touch buttons for functions:
-open file
-properties
-file operations
-maybe an about BAGUI button
-settings
The interface needs to be somewhat universal among the tabs, the music player won't have those options but would have:
-play/pause
-stop
-next/previous song
-shuffle
-volume options
The download Since this is not an actual release, I'd prefer that it not be posted in any news feed and that it remains somewhat private to this blog. I would much like to
not get pestered for help on setting up features that have yet to be added by the tens of people who can't read. Thanks.
Setup:
-copy _newMenu folder to root of your sd card
-Configure covers.ini file in _newMenu/user files if you use covers in BAGPlug
-run bagui.plg
I look forward to hearing your ideas!
