af22 6 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 First, I want to say my favorite theme so far is Chocolate (I have been using it before it became the default theme). I believe I'm running MBC with the latest beta. I have a minor usability annoyance. At the home screen. You can keep hitting up arrow and it will stop at the [user/setting] container. However, if you keep hitting the down arrow, it will cycle through. My usability annoyance is sometimes i can't quickly find which container i'm selected on [user/setting] [weather] [latest] [media folders]. I want to keep hitting the down arrow to get to the bottom and stop at my [media folders], except it'll just loop through and i have to find where I am again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6778 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I see this as well. Thought if was just due to it Scrolling through the elements on screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn 656 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Agreed. Hard to see when you are on the media folders and which one you are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14944 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 How about this for making it more obvious when the root items are selected: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6778 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 That looks good ebr. Can the scrolling through all of the elements be amended, so root items is one end and the settings the other? Make it so you have to go up or down and not endlessly cycle through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14944 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Yes, I've already done that too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordy 284 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 what about changing the color of the text to highlight the collection you are on? Better than the colored rectangle imo. Text color could be made user configurable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Text color could be made user configurable too. The current item is already much brighter than the non-current ones. I like the background highlight because that is consistent with other focus indicators in other views (lists and buttons). Color would be highly personal preference and I don't want to create 1,000 obscure options that need to be tweaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mentasm 43 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Having the bottom scroll limit at the collection levewl will improve my experience heaps. So often I end up in the weather section at the top and have to navigate 3 or so times to get back down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14944 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Chocolate 3.0.3.1 includes these changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaid 2 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm really liking the Chocolate theme since switching over, but one thing I miss from Subdued is being able to play unwatched items on the home screen directly by pressing play on my remote with one selected. Am I missing an option somewhere, or does that not currently work in Chocolate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14944 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Just not implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaid 2 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Will it be in the future? I find it really handy, but then I am rather lazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mentasm 43 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Thanks so much @@ebr , the navigation and highlight tweaks have really improved the usability of the EHS for me. WAF at all time high. Edited January 30, 2014 by mentasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWebsmith 598 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 can you go in and mark his answer as the accepted one, so that it will mark the issue closed and ebr can get some tiny sliver of space on his mental "plate" back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BATTLE DONKEY 98 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Not the same issue but the same thing happens on the custom details view when scrolling down thru seasons quickly it always jumps back to the top of the screen, kind of a pain when trying to scroll thru 20+ seasons and it constantly jumps back up to the top of the page instead of stopping on the last available season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
