=== kwmonroe` is now known as kwmonroe
[17:52] <gilsr> I have a touchscreen mounted between my elliptical and treadmill. Works well except I have to stop, go to the keyboard or get my phone to go back a screen. I was looking at modifying a theme, maybe I should ask can it be done or ,better, done before?
[17:53] <gilsr> That is I would like to add a button to add this function. Maybe just send an esc key press?
=== SpeedRacer is now known as SonikkuAmerica
[23:12] <superm1> gilsr: sounds like a fun little project
[23:12] <superm1> not really sure how it's best done though
[23:15] <gilsr> Yes I was hoping it had been done already.  If not I'll try to do it myself. Since I know very little about how the frontend works it will be a slow process.
[23:16] <superm1> there's a mythtv-theming IRC channel
[23:16] <superm1> they might be able to help you a bit
[23:16] <superm1> as well as http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythUI_Theme_Development
[23:20] <gilsr> Ok, thanks for the direction. I had found the theme wiki page and a tutorial but ran into questions right away.  I'll try the irc channel.
[23:22] <Jay2k1> or maybe you can find some driver or application that allows you to use gestures and define a gesture to send an esc keypress
[23:27] <gilsr> I did try a gesture app but I couldn't get it to work. Again, possibly my ignorance but I assumed it had something with the mouse going through the mythtv layer first. it seemed to recognize a click but not the drag.
[23:34] <gilsr> Well, I went back to the gesture app after giving it some thought and got it to record the gesture.  Will continue on this path, see if it work with the frontend started.
