Mouse-only operation

[John Hind]

I like to use my media center projector using a Logitec Air Mouse as a remote controller. Problem is that OSD requires keyboard actions to bring up initially and to navigate back to the previous screen. Note there is no middle button on this mouse. There are several workrounds for this, but some small changes would make DVBViewer more usable in mouse-only mode.

 

1. Put a clickable icon in the Control Strip that appears when you move the mouse to the bottom of the screen. This icon would have the effect of the Esc key. It would also be useful to add "OSD" to the right-click context menu although this is not really usable at a distance.

 

2. Put a "close" or "exit" button on each screen of the OSD having the effect of the spacebar.

Options > OSD Appearance > Use mouse sensitive areas. Than click on the right, left or bottom part of the window.

This part is possible with the OSD Skineditor.

Make a backup from the OSD Skin (\DVBViewer\OSDSkins\Default) and open the Skin in the Skin editor. Than open one page after another and add a button (Elements > button or Icon button) and choose as ActionID "OSD-Close".

And at the end provide the changed skin here if you like
