What you see is it. or have the rss feed when the player is off? See Settings Screen Screensavers. I'm not sure how 3rd party screensavers (applets?) work... maybe as they're installed they're added to the screensavers from which you can select. i've seen people talking about turning off the analog vu meters and i can't even find that?

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] basic settings not showing?
does seem strange. i have been away from squeezbox for a while but i could do a lot more things with my old SB3. almost seems like a step backwards in this respect. not to badmouth the new touch - i love it so far. if i am reading some of the bug report correctly, it seems like they wanted to get it out to market and maybe some of this is coming soon? -- ratso Emerald Physics CS2.3's - Odyssey Stratos/Khartago amps (coming soon) - Supratek Chardonnay Preamp - Slim Devices Touch - Panamax M4300PM power conditioner - KRK Ergo room correction - Cables by Me! ratso's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11493 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77830 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] basic settings not showing?
There are two skins for the Touch, one which shows when you use the IR remote, and one in use when you touch the screen. The remote skin has larger fonts and no buttons. The touch skin has smaller fonts and buttons you can touch. Pushing any key on the remote goes into the remote skin and touching the screen goes into touch skin. The VU meters are one of the Now Playing Screens. When you are at the now playing screen you can touch the screen anywhere in the middle and it will cycle between 5 different screens: normal, artwork only (no text at all), no artwork, just text, spectrum analyzer and VU meters. Many screens will have a shortcut to the now playing screen, its the music note button in the upper right. Many other screen can be found as screensavers. You can setup screensavers for now playing, stopped, and off. You choose the screensavers by going to the home menu (touch and hold the upper left button gets you to the Home menu) and selecting: settingsscreenscreensavers You can select from a list of screensavers for any of the above mentioned states of the player. While you are in the settings menu you might want to try going to the other menus, there quite a few things you can setup. There is also the Advanced menu which has a much larger set of things you can setup.
