I know that this would be a huge piece of work, but wouldn't it be better to alter the skins, that they would define a general design of the menus, but also the design of standard objects (like title, button, text, highlighted text, progress bar ...). So a plugin could take this standard-objects and assemble the screen. I don't know how KDE or GNOME handels skins, but it should be anything similar to this. What do you think? Something for vdr-1.6 or vdr-8.0? :-) Bye, Andreas Brugger P.S.: My best wishes for the 5th vdr-anniversary. Although I'm only "witness" of the last two years there were huge improvements and the software was always ahead of the other products. I hope there is much to come (HDTV maybe) so the VDR-hobby shall never die. :-)
