Toggle Screen-saver/Visualization, Menu & Black-screen.
Something to think about before implement viz into XBMC
in 'old XBMP before visualization(goom) you got a black-
screen if you pressed "Display" on the DVD remote when
listening to a audio file, this was nice because
sometimes (or most of the times) you don't want to
have your TV on when listening to music via XBMP.
When visualization(goom) was implemented this totaly
replaced the black-screen, so you either get to
watchvizualization or the menu (toggled with "Display"),
this is nice but you don't always want to watch
vizualizations and those times a black-screen would be
nice (so you can toggle between vizualization, the menu
and a black-screen). I realize that XBMP now has a
black-screen screensaver function that the timmer can
be configured from the config.xml however I personaly
have this set to 20 minutes as it anoying if it goes on
after 60 seconds, that's why I think it be better if you
could activate/toggle the black-screen on demand with
the "Display" button.
Persoanly I would always like the ability/option to do this.
if "turn TV off" (like someone suggested) I get no sound!
not everyone has amp/speaker to thier Xbox you know :P
