Good morning list.

I am using MythTv0.23 since I have a HTPC with a buildin 15" touchscreen 
from ELO. I would like to ask for details on future touch screen 
support. Since cases with intigrated touch screens becomes cheaper and 
cheaper I think the MythTV project should get more focus on that.

My touchscreen works well. For an example I can navigate on the desktop, 
start and close programs and so on. In MythTV there is still very less 
touchscreen support

My questions:

- On the future wishlist 
(http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Feature_Wishlist_%28Setup%29) I found 
following statement:

"Menu navigation through mouse-wheel and possibility to assign actions 
to mouse buttons. --Matt <http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User:Matthias> 
12:09, 28 April 2007 (UTC) -- *Already possible to some degree and 0.22 
will have full mouse support, though it's more about supporting 
touchscreens.*--GBee <http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User:GBee> 18:41, 22 
March 2008 (UTC) "

My findings are that the mouse support differs from what it should be 
;-) Navigation is only possible in the main menues. As soon you are for 
an example in the music player you are lost. No buttons work.

I tried to use the workaround described in 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Zalman_HD160XT without success. I would 
expect if we had "full mouse support" the touchscreen navigation would 
work and only special themes for touchscreen users would be needed (e.g. 
with "back" button on every screen).

I think it would be really appreciated from the community if better "out 
of the box" touch screen support is intigrated. I would help to test 
patches and work together with a developer to get this issue solved 
since I can imagine that not too much mythtv developers have a 
touchscreen available ;)

- Is there any plan to intigrate an overlay control for e.g. videos?

Regards

Michael
