qOrbiter Skin - first design

[JaseP]

Has anyone looked into "lifting" an Open Source icon set? They might not have everything needed for a home automation setting, but I've seen some nice ones associated with the Cairo-dock project.

Here's a link to the open icons library on Source Forge:

What a Bummer! ...
:-(

ok ... i'll provide a new Navigation fot that screen asap: http://dokuwiki.knallimall.org/_detail/de/lmce-ipad-home-submenu.png?id=de%3Alinuxmce_qorbiter

What gestures are possible in qOrbiter?

Indeed... longpress?

[polly]

hm .... longpress sounds good. :-)

what about the time till the longpress event is fired?

[Marie.O]

The longpress timeout is defined globally, afaik

In my opinion its important to set a proper value otherwise its it will take to long e.g. to open the floorplan ....

it should be enough to set it globally, but it might be useful to adjust the time depending on the called function.

Hey...


2 alternative navigations for the home screen, but i still prefer the first one ( using longpress to call the flooplan ) ... :-) 

Home Screen with swipe navigation

what is the goal? to bring up the floorplan without it having a button?

just wanted to share different thoughts of a possible design.
What do you think about a additional button for floorplan in the main bottom menu?

i still prefer the first screen :-)

What about the swipe gesture? is there only swipe from "left to right" and "right to left"? or is there a "from top to bottom" like iOS does to call the notification center?

2 versions of the floorplan design ...

Version 1 for sure.

If the room tags horizontally across the top of the floorplan extend beyond the end of the screen I assume you would (and can) suffix with "..."  and make it left-right scroll-able?

Version 2 for sure - way less clutter.

yep .... left-right scroll-able it the way i planned to do it :-)
oooops ... the picture showing room names instead of flooplan names ... i will change it ...

Cool, one note, would it make more sense to have the volume/light sliders be vertical? I'm trying to think in terms of muscle memory and familiarity.
