Is it possible to change the font size of the text under the thumbnails in theater view? Currently only the first 8 or so characters are shown before the ellipsis. I can scale the thumbnails but the text scales too, so I don't actually get to see any more of the text! If we could change the text size independantly from the thumbnail size then the people with blurry TVs can have the text large and the people with monitors/projectors/etc can have the text smaller so they can see more of it.
I don't really like the menu you get when you select a file. I do think there are many actions to do to a file, I just don't think it should be the default behavior. With a mouse it could be left click open, right click menu. With a remote it could be two different buttons. A touchscreen presents a problem though.
This might work for touchscreens... if the mouse goes down on the item and then is dragged off the item, then the menu appears. Adobe Photoshop has this sort of behavior for tools in its toolbox that have multiple modes. I have a touchscreen and I think this could work.
I have another thought I'll share... I haven't demoed it yet (I plan to within the next few days), but I see that MainLobby has an interesting way of presenting albums and tracks. Here is a pic...
Its a small pic, but I think its a neat view. It may not be ideal for TVs, but monitors/projectors/touchscreens could use it.
Most of all, where I want to see theater view go is to be super customizable. I'd like to be able to create my own album/track views, customize the buttons, menus, text size, colors, background, write plugins for new behavior, etc. Is there documentation for creating new theater view skins?
