Hi Andy,
In previous posts regarding Athena UI you have discussed user configurable skins using html editors etc. Can separate skins be used to run on different devices? I am specifically interested in designing a UI for tv osd control which mimics current UI2 but in a vertical form. This would be separate from the UI used on tablets and or phones.
I am wanting to retain on screen UI on many of my tvs and am interested in the best approach with Athena to do this. This seemed the better place to pose this, but please move as required.
Thanks

Hi Garath,
Yes you are very much on the right track with your thinking. What you've described is pretty much exactly in line with how multiple devices will be handled. The current Athena stack does not support this yet though. We are working on an updated version that will enable unlimited multiple skins to be supported so that any kind of device/display can be supported.
Our current Athena UI skin is a responsive design (up to a point) and we are close to having the skin work with both phone, tablet and desktop display sizes. However there are still changes required in the underlying libraries so that multiple skins can be supported simultaneously.
If you regularly update your Dianemo X86 installation you will see new Orbiter UI package updates get installed - these are revs of the Orbiter libraries and the skin to support the above. So these changes area already being rolled out. We also have a new iOS App in final testing that supports both iPhone & iPad devices (the current App does not support iPhones).
Best
Andy
