    Do we have any programmer with a 6920 or a 8920 who can help us with that? Because I believe it will be really nice if we can use the volume bar from the CineDash, as a VUmeter, playing by the music.

    GREAT idea :)

    ...perhaps the volume-control could stille be used as volume control, while being a VUmeter?

    Hvat about changing the functions of the cinedash keys? Do anyone kvow how to customize this?

    Changing the functions might be more useful, especially since I'm now running on a clean Vista Ultimate install. Maybe I can use the Arcade button to open Steam?

    I think you could use the button on the right side for steam. I think one of the acer empoewering thing can customize them. For the cinedash I don't know. For me, maybe it's broken, changing sound volume on the desktop doesn't modify the cinedash, so I don't think it is programmable. I seams more that the only way to change the level is by pressing it.

    That's weird, b/c my CineDash does react to changing volume on the desktop.
    Go figure.

    Anyways, I almost entirely forgot about those two things in between the Wifi and Bluetooth buttons. Duly noted!

    Control mode and Disco mode. No need to use it as a volume control while listening (another idea could be that the vumeter size to be maximum the volume set up).

    Anyway. There is anyone that can do this, around? I will make an article about that nice hack in the next number of PC Mag. if so. :p
