Dear mitraleks,

First of all, thanks for your suggestions.

1) Separate Settings for each text elemet(font, font color, size) - Time, Date, News, Weather
2) Color Icons for SysInfo
For the color, FrontView of 7" TouchLCD uses only white color (some elements use transparent white color and the others opaque white color) because dark color is used for background. White color gives high visibility on dark background.
For font and font size, the separate settings for each text element can be possible without problem. We'll add this feature to our To Do List.

3) Weather in Sysinfo for two days(Current and next day)
I think the weather information is not one of SYSTEM information.

4) Backlight darken for custom applications!!! AND manual backlight control from iMONPAD(hotkey).
I know some users want this feature. When playback video with other player than iMEDIAN HD, they might want make TouchLCD screen dark. And it is good if there's windows command which can make TouchLCD screen dark.
I'll add this feature to Our To Do List.

5) Analog Clock with different skins
We'll add this feature to our To Do List. However, it takes somewhat long time because it is an optional feature.

6) Mouse Scroll UP/DOWN function(in functions in keys manager) for scroll with iMONPAD
Do you mean mouse wheel function with up/down directional push on PAD button? If you do, there needs toggle command between mouse cursor and wheel actions. OK, we'll add this feature to out To Do List.

7) NEWS: Speed setting for text row
We'll add this feature to out To Do List.

8) Custom Image for Background (jpg, png, bmp)
Because of visibility of UI, I think it's not so good idea. In the case of iMEDIAN HD, there's so transparent GUI elements are used and the custom background image can be used without problem. However, for FrontView, using custom background is not so good because almost all GUI elements of are opaque ones.

9) Make FrontView display Eq and info in MediaPlayer Classic, VLC Player and foobar2000, WMP and PowerDVD.
The graphical EQ can be gotten if you make check mark at "All system sound" setting in iMON Manager > iMON Utilities > FrontView > Graphical EQ page.
For the media information of the players, an API or something similar things should be supported by the development team of the players. Anyway, we'll add this feature to our To Do List and check which one supports it.

Thanks a lot,
slash.kim
