I saw someone else making a media center type of application and thought it looked like a fun project.

As it's being designed for a TV in mind, it's setup for resolutions of either 1280x720 or 1920x1080. I've also made two different themes so far. Still much to be done, but the main menu is basically complete unless I think of something else. Almost finished the system for viewing pictures, the path is hard-coded to a test folder right now. Here's a quick video of the menu system and there's also a screenshot attached.

Looks good but there should be a law against using Comic Sans... it's so overused. xD

Go and hunt for a better font somewhere (or use a bitmap font) then it'll be an awesome project.

Agreed, it'll put a personal stamp on it. Looks really neat though!

Try here if you decide to change the font:

What else uses Comic Sans? Hey, just be happy I didn't use Times New Roman. Font is easily changed, it wasn't that high on my priority list but I'll check out that website.

Here's a new video, this is part of the music player. Not much, just a scrolling list of songs so far.

Oh, just about every cheap-n-nasty café menu in britain. !

The internet hates Comic Sans for lots of reasons:
