I mentioned this idea many months ago and I finally got around to working on it. I now have a very, very rudimentary beginning to this. I will post some screenshots tonight, but at this point it can control lights (dim and powerstate) that are explicitly created and initialized in the Silverlight App, and some additional infrastructure is there for issuing commands and receiving responses from SYS. Overall, I have been trying to make it look similar to the original browser UI, although due to my lack of design skills, it looks a little cartoonish right now.
My goal is to put more logic into the Silverlight App and not much into the SYS module. One thing I always struggled with was it was hard for me to customize anything in the browser or add a major new component. I really see people customizing the Silverlight App and incorporating different stuff (video playback, etc).
It is pretty easy to drop into SYS and it can coexist with the existing browser. There is a .html file, the Silverlight .xap file, and a small (so far) module. I'm curious as to who would be interested in this. I was thinking of creating an open source project (through CodePlex) at some point, too.
Thoughts?
