Very true. I was thinking this the whole time but I was so strict in making this look like the OEM...probably my first problem. I may ax the side buttons and knobs all together and integrate them into the main screen.

Yeah. I think I am going to eliminate the side buttons...the more I think about it....it does take up alot of the screen and they have minimal use once they are clicked...how often would I be switching between Video playing and Sirius....probably not enough to warrant taking up 25% of the screen real estate...I'm going to rework my screens...

Other than that, you've got something really nice going here.
The problem I have is that the normal Album art is basically a square 1:1 ratio....and the Sirius and XM art are rectangles almost 3:1 ratios...they both use the same code so it is hard to have both look good....I guess thats why no one has done it like this before...lol...I think I'm juts going to have to eliminate them from the main menu as much as I hate to...
And yeah you're right about the redundancy....I'll need to rework this some more...
Thank you all for the comments....I love this board...speaking of boards....I guess its back to the drawing boards for me....lol...(I know very lame) hhehe
