Hi,

>Cool, looks good, is that the order in which you'll be work=
ing on=20
>things? =20

Yes, but if someone joins the team with new ideas, modules o=
r just time
to help then this list can change !

>Also, in terms of the User Interface, will you stick with t=
he static=20
>menu on the left or will you allow for plugins to take full=
 control=20
>of the screen?

Well, the TV Module allows you to put Windows Media Player i=
n fullscreen
mode.=20
I am plannign to radically change this ugly menu ! In fact i=
t will hide
itself after some seconds and will be brought back with some=
 remote
control event or something. Its look will change too ... I h=
ope I can
make the items scroll in a neverending loop. The current ite=
m would be
highlighted and the others in the shadow ... but I still hav=
e a lot to
learn with Controls in dotnet !
=20
>Excellent, the simplified approach will win you many fans.

You can also just look at the Picture viewer module ! He is =
very simple
! The implementation of IOpenModule is quite always the same=
 from one
module to the other ... just ProcessMessage changes ! Just c=
opy/paste
its code in your own module :)
=20

 who would=20
>potentially beta test the software could potentially be sca=

>not having a start menu item to click :)

Well, one point for you, I forgot the start menu link ! I wi=
ll look into
that.
=20
>I have to admit, when I first started the app, I had though=

"Close". =20

I will took these ones for the next version of OpenMC ... ne=
xt week !

>it's just a thought

SubMenus are in the pipeline. I need them to make a Game cat=
egory :)
=20
>Excellent, this is definately a project that I'd like to co=

I am glad to read this :)

I hope it works in SharpDevelop too ! It would be really gre=
at !
