New features of the GUI

New look of the GUI

We completely redesigned the GUI paying most attention to improved usability. During the make-over we revoked a new layout explaining some of the delay

Station logos

Probably one of the most requested features: station logos. They are now included and make navigation in TV-Browser a lot easier. If the provided logos don't please they can be deactivated or replaced by own logos.

Right side

To properly use the new logos we implemented a new navigation bar. The drop down menues have been abandoned. The buttons for "Morgens,..." have been replaced by time buttons. In case you've always wanted a button for every hour of the day you can now have that.

Plugin manager

This is one of my favorite improvements: the tree on the left. The tree shows which plugins marks which program neatly sorted by date. Every plugin can manage the tree sructure as wanted. I.e. the CapturePlugin creates a branch for every CaptureDevice whereas the Lieblingssendungsplugin does the same for every Lieblingssendung.

To have a quick view on tomorrows reminders, this is the place to look at.

If you want to compose a printlist the plugin manager is the place to do that. Theres even an export/import feature. Right click on any folder to copy the shows to another plugin. Print next weeks reminders or the schedule for one of your favorite programs from the plugin manager using the print plugin.

You can always hide the plugin manager with a button in the toolbar or even faster by pressing F2.
