Front Row / Back Row
Someone has hacked FrontRow so that it doesn’t require the Apple Remote control. The torrent file seems dead – but you can download it from here. (Standard warning – Downloading hacked software from unknown sources could be dangerous.)
Seems to work OK on my Powerbook.
I’ve been mucking around with trying to make my own clone of FrontRow (I call it BackRow) – so far it doesn’t do anything but scroll one menu. I’m not trying to make a MediaCentre app (like CenterStage – just a remote control like thing that uses AppleScript to control other apps.)
