Quick Favorites reorganizing

Postby Dreamer » Wed Nov 22, 2006 4:52 pm

Quick Favorites (new feature) icons are custom now - they can be different in every theme (skin). This is very good. However, just 2 themes have new custom quick fav. icons. Also default icons are not very intuitive, what about, e.g. soccer ball for Sport, newspaper for News, cine film for Movies... Hope you know what I mean.

I suggest also following changes:

Current categoryies and order:

0 QuickFav_None
1 QuickFav_Sport
2 QuickFav_Movies
3 QuickFav_NewChannels
4 QuickFav_News
5 QuickFav_18plus
6 QuickFav_Music
7 QuickFav_Documentary
8 QuickFav_PPV

I suggest these changes in categoryies and order:

0 None
1 General
2 Movies
3 Music
4 News
5 Documentary
6 Children's channels
7 Sport
8 18plus

I think PPV (movies) is not needed, there is alread Movies category, therefore suggested change to the new category for children's channels, which is missing. Another change - NewChannels > General, some channels are universal - with movies, news, music, sport, so this category is really needed IMHO.

There are also just numbers used in DD menus, it would be better to use names instead IMO, these could be also custom - per theme, but main categories should be always the same (movies, music, news, sport).

Note: You can find quick fav. icons under Themes\Default subfolder.

Thank you FredB, it's also a brand new theme (for me), very nice, a bit "too green" for me, but nice, especially the new Quick fav. icons, they are much more intuitive. I hope it will be included in the next version.

I made it on a "green day" :lol:

I've already sent it to Reloc, so perhaps it will be included in next release.

You can, of course, use the Quick Favs icons in other themes :wink:

If I find free time, I will try to make a less green one :D

I don't think so, General is the Quick Fav I would use the more if it exists. It's the main folder of my own favorites folders.

Yes, General is very important (IMO), where we should place channels with movies, news and sport then?? There are many such channels.

Thank you for reply. :)

I think it won't be changed soon, so perhaps you could make icons for current favorites - and 2 (or more) additional icons for General and Children's channels, users could just rename them, since there are just numbers used in DD.

I'm looking forward to update of the best DD theme (sorry FredB :wink: ).

Thank you. :)

Perhaps there should be some ReadMe.txt with simple guide, how to change favicons, just that they need to be renamed, otherwise they won't work - and additional icons could be in a subfolder, to distinguish easier what icons are original and what additional.

Of course, the new icons looks great. :)

New version of DD should be released tomorrow, so if you could made those small changes, I could try contact Rel to include it in the new version.

Just one note...

Is the default backround pink? I don't like it - and there are special "filter background colors", so it could cause conflicts... Could you change it to white, or this RGB color please? 224 224 224. Thanks.
