Browser based Theater View (random suggestion)

So lately I've been messing around with the theming of Theater View in v17 and while I'm not even remotely considered a good coder, it just feels limited what you can accomplish by editing XML files and whatnot.

I think Jim in another thread said that they probably won't be changing Theater View much for v18.

I haven't played with Gizmo much, but it got me thinking a little bit.

One idea that popped into my head would be a front-end, maybe not replacing Theater View but maybe another option, that was basically just a 10' web page without the title-bar, etc.  It could be HTML (5?) or PHP based and just kinda be a visual front-end of the data that already exists in the database.  I would think that the good coders could make really cool themes.

Then again I could be completely full of crap, that's happened before.  Or maybe something like WebGizmo is already along those lines, as I mentioned, I haven't really played with it.

**EDIT**  Random humor.  I typed in a search here for webgizmo and what came up was:

"You may have meant to search for buxom."

**ANOTHER EDIT** Changed TV to "Theater View" because in retrospect, in my head when I was typing TV I was thinking Theater View and not Television.  My bad

I don't believe I said that.

JimH:
Do you mean television or Theater View.  Please spell it out if you mean Theater View.

Anyway, I was thinking more Theater View alternative.  What I see on AVS quite a bit and to some extent here is that people really like the "oohs" and "aahs" of XBMC (personally I hate XBMC) and MediaBrowser fluff and I was just thinking of different ways that people might be able to achieve some of the glitz within MC

Sorry, I cleared up my original post.  It made sense in my head, but when I re-read it I see the confusion.
