[slim] Re: Slimserver on a wii ...

2007-01-04 Thread bklaas

That's really cool! Since the Wii has Opera, it's not a big surprise
that Nokia770 skin works well, since I designed that for the Nokia 770
device, which also uses Opera.

Your Flickr pic is of the Touch skin, and I can tell by looking at it
that it's the old version of Touch...just an FYI, if you upgrade to a
newer version of Slimserver you will see Touch look nearly exactly like
Nokia770, because the old Touch went away about 6 months ago in favor of
a new Touch that inherits most (but not all) of its elements from
Nokia770.

Very cool to see though...this looks far more usable than the lengths
people are going to using a PSP as a slim controller.

cheers,

Sorry, I should have been clearer - that's someone else's flickr page,
I'm using the Nokia skin but haven't gotten around to uploading a
photo :)

The touch-style interface is great mainly as the wii controller works
like yet another remote control, but with a mouse style cursor as well
for easy scrolling and picking from lists.

I'm not sure how it'll work in a crowded room, however, as the wii
remote needs line of sight to the sensor bar (which is basically
just two IR LEDs on a stick) to do it's pointing magic.  I'll find out
tomorrow (it's my 40th birthday party!) - though I mainly intend to do
playlists, so it won't matter too much if the setup is a fizzer.
Certainly it's a lot of fun for general use - though it forced me to
do a lot of work tracking down album art :)
