Hello all.
Thinking of coding a "HTPC"-like interface for my old laptop
now, it cant display X on the tv (dunno why), and writing everything is not all that "cool" anymore. So, anyone know of a simple (as simple as posible) lib (preferably to python) that can display graphics for a menubased UI ontop of a framebufferdev?
Example of the UI:
====Welcome to this Lame UI====
====Watch some movies and shit====
====connect to a NFS/SMB/FTP site====
and so on...
Or even better, is there some app out there already?

if you want simple, effective (and what some would consider ugly) you could use curses, of which python includes a module in it's default install.
you could also write a bash script that works with 'dialog', (man dialog) to provide a similar interface, though it might be easier depending on what you want to do.
if you can run X, you can use pygame, which is a sdl layer for python...

dont really want the curses-look and "feel" for this project. i want something more cute and cuddly like opengl or similar
And no, it cant display X on the tv... it could before but then i had a annoying blue stripe at the left of the picture..
