Hi!
I'm thinking about buying the 3.5" LCD display for my Shuttle computer HTPC project.
I've downloaded the CrystalControl software and it looks quite sweet (though, I wish I could build plugins in a .NET language). I know 2.0 will be way better than current version.
Anyhow, what I want to do is load *.csc files dynamically to the software. Is there a way to do that? I'm thinking about making some menu items in myHTPC which points to an executable, like CrystalControl.exe -load myscreen.csc. Is that possible? That way I could alter screens using my remote control.
I'm also wondering how "hard" it is to build a new module, for instance a RSS plugin. Do i need to download a separate driver, or can i use the installed Windows Service to communicate with the LCD panel?
