I will hopefully be able to use phone keypad and text entering methods, and/or voice control to enter text. But not solved yet. I thought it was, but then phoco was gone... A bit upsetting since I had a license...
I read your post at work and then at home and then thought about it in the tub, and now I've read it again. I'm not sure I understand :-)
Love the highlight/glowing thing. Very much like the banner I invisioned.
Is your idee that if you are watching TV, and "enters the room", the TV screen floats away like you've taken a step backwards. And then you can see the icons, and configure/change mode and what have you? That sounds very neat indead!
Is the background a photo?
Are you using a touchscreen or some kind of joystick?
I am impressed anyway. I think there is to much "buttons" on all skins I've seen. Like a stereo from the 70's. Better to manuever in context sensitive menues.
My pictures are awful but might give a better idee.
I thought that clock would come and go when clock button is pressed
