LeoB:
There are many great suggestions in this thread, but I like this one the best:


--- Quote from: mojave on August 27, 2012, 05:05:40 pm ---There should be the option of always keeping the OSD within the video area. My screen resolution and my video area are different and I've seen it different on several other setups.

I would like the progress bar and volume bar to be at the bottom of the screen and accessed with a down arrow/button.

I would like the other menu items to be at the top of the screen and all visible with an up arrow/button. Moving right or left through the menu would then display their associated options below the menu and listed either horizontally or vertically. In my example I show them horizontally, but I think in practice I might actually like a vertical listing better. The horizontal placement has less impact on the video image, though.

This method is super quick to see all options at a glance without having to toggle through everything. As you then go left/right you can see all the sub-options for each heading.

However, I’d like to develop this suggestion a little bit more.

In the attached file there are three sketches of the OSD with the vertical listings:

-   Nothing expanded. We see all critical information about the current video at one place and can make a decision on the necessary adjustments.

-   Title field expanded by highlighting it with the right/left arrow button and then pressing “down arrow”.

-   Aspect Ratio field expanded.

1.   The advantage of this style of OSD is in the fact that all critical information can be viewed by just pressing “up arrow”. Based on this info all necessary adjustments can be made further on.

2.   Every field of the OSD expands down, and all available streams/options are listed.

3.   Rarely accessed functions, like Screen Position Controls or Video Controls (Color, Saturation, etc.) are grouped into sub menus, which pop-up in place of the main OSD when the respective item is selected by pressing ENTER key.
