Theater View Welcome Screen
« on: March 01, 2009, 12:25:14 pm »

I think having more customization available on the theater view welcome screen would be a very useful feature.  What if the horizontal items were moved up closer to the top of the screen and then the bottom was broken into a user definable number of columsn, say 3.  Then, the user could place tidbits there: show a playlist, text file, weather radar, news, etc.

Us MC enthusiasts always have a list of wishes and I try to post and wait...then repeat.  There are a lot of suggestions that don't get any response but then several weeks or months later, they show up in a new version.  The only reason for not doing this would be to keep the home screen clean.  I totally understand that because cluttered programs are not appealing at all.

Thanks.  My trade is web development and I think they are built mainly from XML or XHTML tags and such.  I'll give it a try.
