->Yeah! Looks like this app will become quite rich of features. This is cool but requires a decently planned GUI to preserve usability...

League selection is now through a TreeView. For once, it was easier to implement than I thought it would be!

-> Thats cool for making this app appealing to as many users as possible, but I think last selected league should be saved to avoid users have to scroll through long lists of leagues whenever they use the app.

Yes, I'm planning some kind of 'favourite' leagues.

-> Not sure if it makes sense to provide pre-defined feeds. Seems like a mission impossible to provide all feeds that might be of interest (different clubs, languages, news sites). Guess it makes more sense to integrate a freely configurable rss-reader.
Sure, some might say "Why not just use the standard Maemo feed reader or any other standalone rss app (where I actually have subsribed the sports feeds of interest to me already), but I like the idea of having a one-stop app for sports information.

This is several releases away, so I haven't spent much time thinking on this....

Backgrounds! That's what I need right now. In my development version, the background is now green, but if someone can find/create a (set of) nice backgrounds that I could put it, I'll consider them! Worst case I'll just take a picture of the football field of the school I can see from my balcony :)

I wish... Maybe a link to some referee bribing aggregator site where you can make donations? :D

Can you give some specifications?
(Background for which screens exactly, size, file format, maybe a screenshot of the current GUI...)
So that the skilled gaphic designers out there know where to start...

Latest screenshots. I'd like a background for the Select, Matches and Table screens, maybe even one for each? The 'style' of the Select TreeView is not what I expected. It appears to be the default 'hildon' style although I thought I'd set it to Plastique... Oh well...

The idea would be to have a 'News' tab as well with league related news (RSS). There will also be settings window where you can add the currently selected league to your favourites.

This app would be very useful. I hope you can finish it. I would definately use something like this. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of what's going on. I can't tell you how many matches I forgot about to remember about it 1 hour it's finished.. A feature with match dates too would be great.

This App looks brilliant, I'm about to install it.

May I ask if it will have the world-cup stats in it when the world cup starts?

Well, I am NOT a skilled graphic designer, but here is a draft of a background I created with my basic Photoshop knowledge...as well as a mockup to give you an impression how it looks within the app...

Please let me know what you think - ideas and suggestions very welcome :D
