It could then even be further personalized, ask the user their favorite team on start up, and have the app d/l a skin of that team. Editable of course as there are front runners
Interesting thoughts! I certainly want to make it generic to cater for other sports as well, icehockey, basketball and Am. football would be my next candidates. At the moment, the only 'football' specific thing about the app is the background image. I could make it load a 'qsportsevent_landscape.jpg' and 'qsportsevent_portrait.jpg' instead and you put whatever you want there? I'd still like to have defaults for all sports, so I would probably provide that for whatever I will support in the future. Ah.... Yes, you are more than welcome to provide such background images for me to include! Just make sure I have the legal right to use them...

Even more important though... Do you know of any data source that I could use for these other sports?

In Extras-Devel there should be a Diablo version. I have no way of testing it, so please try it out! Let me know if the auto-shutdown issue is there... Not sure if it got fixed for that version.
