In my opinion, SlimDevices COULD do something to improve this. If the user has opted for a blank screensaver for "off" mode, then I think it's perfectly reasonable to assume they don't want the thing to display messages at them when it's off. So it shouldn't. When the user turns the thing on, and there's a server connectivity problem, THEN it displays the message--because it's on and the user expects to see messages displayed when it's on. Seems like a reasonable approach to me.
Yeah, I agree with this in theory. Blank screen should be blank no matter what. The problem in practice is that there is no other indicator of status, hence all the people who've complained of broken screens after someone sat on the remote and set brightness all the way off. -- "I spent all me tin with the ladies drinking gin, So across the Western ocean I must wander" -- traditional _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
