Glad to hear it's still moving forward.

Looks nice. The player screen especially looks very usable with the alphabet shortcuts and all. But some of the buttons, like player controls could be a bit bigger for touchscreen usage.

Keep it up!

Hey, the progress you've made looks really good! I'm a .net developer as well, and have created a couple of frameworks of my own, I can definitely help out. I'm very excited, I've been looking for a good .net frontend I can help out on, and this one looks great! Let me know if you need / want any help, I'm dying to contribute!

I wont start another .NET thread for this as it's quite small and simple project for now so I'll borrow your thread a bit.

So I decided to start my own project using VB.NET as it's the most familiar language for me.
Why? Coz most of the commercial and freeware frontends include stuff that really dont need and the most important part, mp3 management is done poorly. Or then they are full of bugs or something.
Anyhow, my software will have only features like navigator integration, music player and EASY to use, clear interface.
Coding is almost done and I managed to build smooth, light Apple like list scrolling for the media file browsing. Navigator softwares seem to integrate nicely too.
Today I made some skinning and it turned out to look quite much like Centrafuse as I really like its interface. Here's couple of photos:

I'll upload the app soon as it's ready for a test use if someone's interested.

Haven't posted on here in a while... Started work on my CarPC project again. Decided to rewrite the whole program and make it better and more efficient...

Couple very early screenshots. I have a lot of work done on GPS/Sirius/iPod support done I just need to port it to the new version.

Hey! I like it very much! I like the simplicity and wonderful design. I'm interested in beta-testing

Well then don't use it, or make your own skin. I don't pretend to be an artist, I'm a programmer with mediocre photoshop skills.

On another note, I finally ordered all the parts to my own CarPC. That's given me quite a bit of motivation to continue work on the project, I'll try to keep ya'll updated.

Oh also, mark88 and sniiki: not that I mind that you are also developing .Net frontends as well, this thread was started for discussion of the frontend I was developing. If you are developing one as well, I'd appreciate it if you dont hijack mine

Thanks.

Sure

I'll start own thread for it soon as it's in stage for an early release (already been using it myself for a while, but doesn't have playlist handling yet).
