Hi,

thanks for sharing.

Just trying to get a few features in before version 1.0 final.

 
Always keep in mind the final 1.0 is not the last release of Remote 
Buddy ;-)

1. Hide mouse after x minutes of idle.

 
Good idea. I've added it to the Todo list.

2. Ability to toggle the extra menu items in the iTunes menu; it 
looks a bit crowded right now.

 
Expect to see this in eiher 1.0 or 1.1 :-)

3. Would it be possible to create an action that when selected, it 
would send a blank signal to the monitor and have it go into power- 
saving mode?

 
This is on my todo list. The problem is that currently (and from what 
I have researched from Darwin kernel mailinglists) there is no way to 
do this from user space. This functionality requires a kernel 
extension, which is something both critical to the stability of the 
entire OS and something I haven't done yet. So this will not be in 
1.0 either for obvious reasons :-)

Best regards, 
Felix
