I'm sure you've heard it quite a few times by now, but, congrats on the Nokia situation (that's karma in action).

I definitely like the new look you've got here. Slimming everything down to just one screen (two w/ video) is awesome. I'm really interested in this mention of themes. If you decide to make that available could you release the goods for custom theming. Maybe a template or just a set of icons/backgrounds. I'd absolutely love that, ever since you released the Light theme a while back I've been dying to toy with the look.

It seems the other hot item is the controls. I'm unbiased as far as top/bottom go, I think it'll look good in either spot, but I did have a couple other thoughts:
1) if the essential buttons were closer to the left side would they still get cut off when the player isn't in full screen mode? (scaling the controls is a good idea but how much would it slow down opening and closing?);
2) if you do create some sort of laucher would it be possible to make some of the buttons optional? (it seems not everyone wants the backlight/track skip buttons).

Last but not least I've got a question completely unrelated to the rest. I have a unique problem with my 770 where the - of the -/+ buttons on the top stops working intermittently (it's probably a loose connection or something). What I wanted to know is if I could remap the volume controls, possibly to the up/down on the D-pad? If its too much of a pain explaining how-to don't worry about it.


Thanks, keep up the great work man.
