Maybe if we just decide what to call it, we can stop waiting for MC to think of something (They might be worried about other things right now)

I just threw this list together in a couple of minutes, I can certainly change the choices if anyone has any other ideas.

1) Home Theatre view
2) TV mode (my girlfriend's suggestion)
3) Party mode (when people see party mode on the menus, they assume it does something like what Hairstyle is)

and while we're at it, change:

Mini-me => compact mode
Mega-me => full controls mode (or suchlike)

Something based on the HTPC acronym... or HT at a minimum.

P.S. I cringe every time I hear Hairstyle... I know it was a play on MS, but few remember this anyway.

jleerigby · « **Reply #3 on:** December 08, 2003, 12:56:28 am »

TV Mode

DJMUK · « **Reply #4 on:** December 08, 2003, 01:20:32 am »

TV Mode - Seems the most logical and descriptive to me.

sraymond · « **Reply #5 on:** December 08, 2003, 08:21:13 am »

The problem with "TV" is that not everyone uses a TV. What about those that use a monitor?

Plus there'd be about 10 people a day in here wondering how to change channels while in TV Mode...

JustinChase · « **Reply #7 on:** December 08, 2003, 09:08:33 am »

Well, I thought I could change the vote options. If anyone can tell me how to change them, I will add in some of the choices others have added.

Hairstyle: Display-View or Salon-View
Mega-Me: Desktop-View
Mini-Me: Mini-View
and a new: Taskbar-View

Monkeyboy · « **Reply #9 on:** December 08, 2003, 09:16:51 am »

I reckon Theatre Mode.
Its hard to think of a name that suits its function, but a few of us like it here.

I say we just call it 'George'
Heck let's call them all 'George' . . . .
George Foreman did it!

Seriously though, I like:

You're all so pragmatic.

Let's start a petition to get the Corvette renamed to "Fast 2-Seater Car"

bjsolem · « **Reply #13 on:** December 08, 2003, 02:11:26 pm »

Count me as one of the ones not in on the joke.

What is (was) it?

How about something less "pragamatic" but more descriptive like Couch Potato, or Funky Big Buttons

Button Mode??
(it's clean, simple, descriptive)

Then again we could try 'Elephant Trunk', it is just as relavant as 'Hairstyle'.

Windows XP Media Center Edition was codenamed "Freestyle".

I like "theatre mode"

I also like:

Mega-Me: Desktop-View

Hi,

Why would we want to change it to something else ?
MC is about music and music is fun, isn't it ?

I think I like "Hairstyle" or maybe "Curly Hairstyle"

It reminds me of some good times back in the early 70's

JimH · « **Reply #18 on:** December 08, 2003, 03:34:20 pm »

Haircut?

Shampoo?

No, thanks Jim, just electricity !

LOL Great pic

OK you can keep the name 'Hairstyle' as long as the default background has this image on it nice and large

xen-uno · « **Reply #22 on:** December 08, 2003, 04:50:24 pm »

I'm kind of partial to Big Bouffant or simply Bouffant. It really fits considering that the definition is "being puffed out". Interpreted geekily and in MC context, you could say it means "puffed out to a second display".

10^-27

Now we're getting somewhere. It's great to have so many blow0dried minds here.

Markeau · « **Reply #24 on:** December 08, 2003, 05:01:50 pm »

Senior View (ie, BIG PRINT for Senior Citizens hehehe)
Mini Me, Mega Me, so GIGA ME (hahaha)
BigMC (read "big mac" hohoho)

Seriously, I really don't think Hairstyle conveys a proper idea to the mode so think it should be changed to something more descriptive ... Theater Mode sounds pretty good.

sraymond · « **Reply #25 on:** December 08, 2003, 07:17:44 pm »

Theater Mode is my vote... it explains it very well. Of course, the audiophiles will complain.

Matt · « **Reply #26 on:** December 09, 2003, 02:02:20 pm »

Thanks everyone. Next build will have a new name for Hairstyle.

Jambon-Beurre
would sounds very nice

Or
Full Scream
or
Divine [ instead of Haircut]
or
Before Esc

If stoned i would say :
Theater Mode

Because i thing it is the more explicit name to give.

PS: you may try to make the brown not so dark
