Hi, I've tried DirectFB recently. Worked well. Are there any apps I can try out that work under it ? For example, I saw the simpsons screenshot but didn't find an app that worked like that looked ;) Is that part proprietary ?
Another question; I have a media box project (link below) for which I'm considering DirectFB. One thing I ran into is that the visual aspects of a tv-oriented system are quite different from a normal desktop. For example, mouse interface parts don't make much sense when you have a regular remote. Also, the small standard fonts are unreadable. So I was wondering if you have made GTK widgets using large fonts and more sensible activation methods ? I'm thinking about things like file selection widgets (with big fonts and keypress callbacks). I myself wrote a small GTK panel application which displays icons, listens to a port for "keypresses" and executes commands, which works nice, but it's missing a selection dialog part.
