[REQUEST] Touchscreen Jukebox Skin, skin specificly designed for touchsceen displays?

[rudeboyx]

Alright, iv just recieved my 15" touchscreen and it rocks. Iv been toying around with some touch screen apps and juke box software like albumplayer and even creating custom ojectdock / Autoit scripts as popout controls for mediaportal but nothing compares to the greatness of xbmc

so heres my request.

a skin designed specificly for touchscreen monitors. must support 4:3 as most touchscreens are 4:3, however 16:9 could also be implimented.

only needs music functions of xbmc so it is a contained jukebox. (Mods and the inclusion of other media can be added under a different project for now.)

Must have on screen controls for all actions related to music. (Big buttons for fingers).

must have some sort of kiosk mode (so its drunken party proof)

must contain all music features in a easy to use (drunken party proof) way, including playlist features, shoutcast, fanart, visualizations, artist/album details (Library Mode), aswell as PASSWORD BASED music stopping / xbmc exiting to prevent crazy fools from halting your party.

my skills are graphic based and not coding based so if anyone would like to pic up this project i would be more than willing to help out on the graphic side of things.


Just think with 1 good touchscreen skin xbmc could be classed as a touchscreen juke box app as well, further advancing its feature list. and maybe even included it as a default touchscreen skin in the main trunk.

This would also fill the car pc niche (as long as there's a 'Back' button on each screen)

You may have a look at what I made here :

But it is for EEETop (16/10) and Windows only I am afraid (did not tried on my linux box).

While there is not any playlist available, if you point me in the right direction (I mean another skin with such feature) I can study it and modify PMIII files again. I am too lazy to find it by myself

You guys could perhaps consider modding djtoll's 7TFT skin which is open source:

http://seventft.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/seventftskin/

It will probably be easier to make that touchscreen friendly than other skins

good idea. il look into it. im sure theres been some skin engine changes since last update to it though but a good base to start on

Hi, I'm building a linux based car pc with XBMC. I have a 10" touchscreen display and I can emulate the right-click by holding down my finger on the screen. My touchscreen is an eGalax and the TouchKit utility enable this fetures for my device.
The real problem for me is that I can't do right-click on the items such as audio or video sources to delete or edit...
Does someone have any idea ?

Edit: I try the 7TFT skin but xbmc crash

unfortunatley it wont work in xbmc. my touchscreen does the same for right clicks. it works fine in windows but wont work in xbmc its something to do with the way xbmc handles the mouse input that it just wont work, but there has been talk someware in this forum about coming up with an alternative way of handeling the mouse, so until thats inplace it wont work.

For me the best can be add a "toolbar" with the same items as in the right click menu.
