Vitor, I'm afraid you will not get a good compromise on your wishes. Problem is, what you describe is a classic trade-off situation. If you want more of the cool stuff you need JavaScript and graphics and that hurts performance. tmarti's skin gains a lot from being simple and using lots of text instead of graphics. I admittedly did some mistakes in the beginning of doing the skin (that's my first HTML code ever!), like using tables, that hurts but the general issue is really that tradeoff. I spent considerable time to speed up iPeng at the beginning of the project and did so again for the 0.6 version - which loaded everything in place and so could offer smooth back-out and switching between NowPlaying and browse pages. ..which was a bad mistake because it turned out that JS on the iPhone lacks performance and generally the iPhone 2.0+ browser is waaaay too buggy to use these cool features. It was fully functional and I used it for a while, but it kept crashing all over the place and the rendering was full of bugs. Apple has invented cool new features for the browser but the quality just sucks.
I now completely dropped that path and will focus on doing things natively, which finally shows some results (have a look at my blog tomorrow ;-), although it's still far from a releasable app. But it already looks cool... iPeng as a skin will revert to the 0.5 path, with a 0.53 coming as soon as I have a some time to redo the Alarm, which is the main added feature. It's a bit faster than 0.5.2 but not fundamentally so. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52513 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
