The way I look at it the diaplay is split into four segments (double line display is two). Excepting the Browse function I'd like to choose what appears in each display segment and what happens in a few moments in each display (if I should want anything to change, which I don't). Unfortunately the whole idea about the way it works at the moment seems a little arse about face. I understand exactly why this has come about though but think it is time to reassess the way the diplay processing works (expecially as I can't get the display to do exactly what I want and am sure it can do what I want). Using three (or more?) different SlimServer screens to program the display is not user-friendly. Only one screen (including sub-screens parhaps) should suffice and would be much more understandable.
The SlimServer idea of a screensaver seems a bit redundant to me and could be dumped. One of the things that has contributed to the current confused state is the idea of plugins and how they have been integrated (or rather added in after the fact) I think. The Transporter's dual screen has made the errrr... organically-grown way the display programming works apparent. It is probably time to take a user-centric, or ergonomic view and redesign it appropriately. A friendlier MusicInfo seems the best place to start, all else could follow after that. The ability to chose whether the text in each screen segment scrolls or not would be useful too. I've previously written initial ramblings of how the display programming might work here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29084&page=3 I'll give your suggestions, ceejay, some thought later but at this moment I am running up and down the stairs between PC and Transporter trying to get the display as I want it (not, not really).
