Using 'B', or any other button press over an icon - is just a bit too bizarre for most people, i reckon. While it's always good to have shortcuts, and that's why i made the + icon press suggestion, you really should be able to get around the interface just by pressing A on icons and B to go back (or up a folder level). It just makes for a more intuitive interface, and is the de facto standard with the majority of wii menu interfaces. indeed, this is already what happens in wiiflow when pressing A on a game cover.how about 'b' on home/exit icon?How about using A on the view icon to bring up the source selection screen? Seems the most logical to me. I sill can't get rid of cycling through NAND when I use A on the view icon (disabling it doesn't work).Can i suggest using the B button? this is a more common interface choice on the wii, and most users will be used to it. i.e. A selects and B goes back. this will mean dropping B on favourites to open catagories, but perhaps there's space for a catagories button, or we could use plus on favourites?just to let everyone know Overjoy doesn't like the home button being used for the source menu. So that will be reverted and maybe an option added to wiiflow.ini for those of you that like to use it. otherwise there's still the + button while on the view icon
also, if the home button's freed up, how about launching a shutdown/standby/restart option menu?
Or if there was a way to override which button did what on that icon that would be ideal. I really don't like +/view as it is not natural IMO.
I would suggest that the home, disk and other icons are defunct within coverflow, are better placed in the source menu(or already are), and should be replaced with catagories and source menu buttons in coverflow. This would encourage a more point and click interface, with less obscure and arcane button over icon presses, and with the information and choices available clearer to the user.
Obviously, it's all very well me saying all this, but somebody actually has to make the decision to do the work.
What do you think?
I've just read this back and realised i've simply restated my opinion. twice. doh. Does anyone know what's the plan for the (handset, 'hard') home button?
