All your program launching can be accomodated with MainLobby... As its just the one app you dont need the whole suite (I dont need or want DVD lobby as I am not in the habit of ripping my DVD's)...

With it you can make GUI's to lauch apps very simply... I have a main screen that says Watch TV.. Watch Movies... Listen to music... One opens dScaler... One opens TheaterTek... One opens MC/ML...

I believe there is also a trial so you can give it a dry run and see if you like it... Most people who start get addicted though so beware

Here's a final image of the new jukebox screen.
This image was reduced to 800x600. Looks great on a 1024x768 display like the ProGear webtablet.


Oh - and don't forget MusicLobby's little brother - mini-MusicLobby for the Pocket PC.

And for those of you with a 16x9 display - here's a snapshot of a new background skin that will be included with the next MusicLobby update:

FWIW,  I would be interested in a MainLobby lite specifically for HTPC control of MC and watching videos.  But I can't justify the whole > $100 package.

Is it possible to run MusicLobby in portrait mode?  I have several in-wall spaces where I'd like to install 10.4" panels, and there's be plenty of space for installing them in portrait mode, but not enough space for the traditional landscape orientation.

I know the bezel would look strange if tilted 90 degrees, but I'm planning on covering the bezel completely with the wall, so only the 10.4" screen itself will be visible.

One more thing: Mario, can you just confirm that it's possible to setup MusicLobby such that each touch-screen (ie instance) controls one MC9 zone.

The short answer is no.  Seee this thread http://www.musicex.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=MediaCenter;action=display;num=1065578537;start=0#0 for details and to cast your vote for a change.
