Re: [Libxine-java-devel] Capabilities and future

[Kristian L. L. <wa...@pa...>]

What i actualy was going for, was more like LinuxMCE. That has a
navigation bar on the bottom, which throws up translucent menues over
the video. I know LinuxMCE also uses xine, but i don't think it uses OSD
though. That's why i was led to the idea of maybe look into some 3d
libraries.
Anyway, it isn't a vital feature in my media center idea, though it'd be
cool.
