“I have the need for tools that solve my problem in a very specific way … when I don’t find such tools, I make them myself.”
Such is the philosophy of David Flemström (aka Dflemstr), and a slick new launcher called Panorama is the result. Whipped up in his sleep using C++ and Qt 4.6.1, this powerful alternative to Pmenu is shown above in just one possible incarnation. Other Panorama modes shown off so far include “Pmenu mode“, the magnificent Magma theme, and a special treat for the mega-minimalists out there.

When Cpasjuste put the call out for Pmenu skins three days ago, he might have been expecting a couple of starter themes to accompany his launcher upon release. He got a little more than that. An army of skinners went to work, prodding Cpasjuste for code fixes along the way to produce a respectable first library of skins. Most of these can be considered works in progress, so save your final judgements for unboxing day. Even so, a fine effort from the community so far.

Bet you didn’t know Pmenu could do this! Cpasjuste gives us a peek at Pmenu’s media playing abilities, featuring in-menu previewing and d-pad seeking (XBMC fans, sit back and enjoy the rush of endorphins). It looks like he set this video to upload before grabbing some much needed shut-eye, so we’re a bit short on details like codec support. Stay tuned.
Speaking of Cpasjuste’s wee launcher, who’s been keeping tabs on the Pmenu skin thread? Hint: Good things are happening.

As Pandora tiptoes its way towards public consumption, EvilDragon delivers a solid state of the nation on all things firmware related, giving first batchers a good idea of what to expect. Things have certainly come a long way, but there will be some beta-ish aspects to the firmware that will continue to be polished as units go out into the wild. Booting is on the slow side for now, and we shouldn’t expect the suspend-to-RAM function to be ready out of the box (see end of article for more on this). On the up side, USB peripherals, wifi, Bluetooth, .pnd recognition, and a first-boot setup wizard are just some of the things that are hot to trot.

No, he’s not getting a tattoo. He’s adding the final lick of paint to Pmenu, and he’s giving one and all the chance to see their artistic handiwork shipped out to the masses as one of Pmenu’s skin options. If you’re an artist of any style and you’re in the mood to skin, download the latest Pmenu build (x86 Linux) and get started. If you’re not an artist, download it anyway for a sneak preview of the near future. Check out Cpasjuste’s Pmenu thread for details and links.

“Menus. Launchers. Desktop environments. Window managers. Pmenu! Pangea! Matchbox! E17! What’s going on?!”
Last week we heard that Matchbox may be superseded by E17, as Pandora’s default window manager. Today, we’ve seen new footage of Pmenu. So what does it all mean? What’s going to greet us on that screen when we first flip the lid? If you’re feeling a little in the dark, this article aims to bring the light. We’ll start with a brief description of Pandora’s operating system, then we’ll get into the GUIs. If you’re a seasoned Linux user, and you’re easily offended by gross simplifications (which all Linux users are), feel free to skip the first bit.

Cpasjuste has shared a new video of Pmenu, the graphical launcher that will ship with Pandora. Unfortunately it’s a little blurry, but you don’t have to tell Cpasjuste this. He’s already called it crappy himself. Noteworthy in this installment is the implementation of Pandora’s PND packaging system. In a nutshell, a .PND file is the container that Pandora applications live in. Download this one file (eg. Quake2.pnd), drop it onto your SD card, and watch as your new Quake2 shortcut appears in the menu automatically. Magic!
