MC14 and Touchscreen
gappie:
here it is.. when something is missing please say so, i can not really test it.. i thought it was not important for the root or playing now.

open the zip and copy the folder to the theaterview skins.
i gave the buffer 3% of the screen. its easy to change that. open the main.xml you find in the folder of the skin with notepad.
under the layout for "standard" you will find a new item that looks like this:
--- Code: --- <!-- Buffer -->
<Item Name="DistanceScroll" Base="ViewBackground" Placement="Right" Size="3%"/>
--- End code ---
change the size to 2% or something like that.

Use the Obsidian Touch skin for Theater View.

I understand both of you. It's working as it is today, but it's not very accurate. It's good for skimming through covers, when you're not looking for specific items far down the list. Normal scroll bar scrolling is more accurate and less time consuming in large libraries.
You have the choice of hiding or showing the scroll bar today. That should be sufficient. Only thing you need is to set the scroll bars left border a bit more into the screen. This could be a touch screen option next to the Scroll Bar option today perhaps? Who is using the mouse pointer far to the right side anyway??
Even better is to also add the letters and numbers showing in a snappy OSD, as you scroll. Just like the iPhone and Android phones. The OSD should only be shown when using the scroll bar imo.
*EDIT* This would be a thing to do in MC15 though. Did not notice i was writing this on the MC14 forum :)

Gap,
thanks a lot for that!
The scrollbar is perfect.
The first page is different from the original ObsidianTouch Page. At the new one, i see Pictures of the different folders and at the old one i see a list of the folders. It's only the first page, when you start TV. The other pages look the same.
It's like switching the between the different list-styles, but for the first page it is not possible to switch. Is it possible to change that?
