Clarity - New Touch Interface

[Stefan Christiansson]

Hi Jon,

All fonts in the lists are set in CSS and can easily be changed. I will look
into adding some extra padding between the commands.

These screenshots are a couple of weeks old. The text is now black instead
of white which makes a lot more sense. Don't really know why I made it white
in these shots. The Clarity skin, when complete, will mostly be made in
Flash. The browse lists will pretty much be all that uses html. All other
visual elements will be Flash. I'm also working on a replacement for the
scroll bars since these are very hard to use if you have big fingers.

Regarding the Radio feature on the Touch interface, this is simply a
shortcut to a playlist named Radio. If you want to use it just add internet
radio stations to a playlist and save it as Radio.

The radio feature will probably not be in Clarity since it really doesn't
add any functionality.

Rgds
Stefan

Stefan,

I think that increasing the font size on the search and listings pages
would help people out from a touch panel perspective. If the font size
you're using in this one is the same as in the existing Touch interface,
I think it's a bit too small. In my experience, I've found it hard to
get my big American fingers on the text (for instance the Play | Next |
Add | Remove) without hitting another button (not quite but you get the
idea). If the font size can't be increased effectively, maybe the
padding between the entries could be increased so that there's a bit
more wiggle room to press the selections. Maybe both?

I think that the visual look is impressive. I suggest a bit more
contrast between the background and font color for easier legibility.

One thing I've never figured out on the Touch interface is the Radio
feature. I've accessed Internet radio through the SB remote but I can't
figure out how to do it in Touch. What am I missing?

-Jon

Clarity - New Touch Interface

Perhaps I'm a bit thick but can someone explain to me how I can do
this? I want to be able to access all of the Internet Radio stations
offered by SB from the Touch interface. I make all of my playlists in
iTunes so I'm not sure how to do one of just the Internet Radio stations.

Thanks,
-Jon
