Using and customizing Front Row
Front Row, which comes preinstalled on all new iMacs, allows you to view your photos, videos, and music with the use of a remote control from across the room.
I’ve been playing with Front Row for the better part of a day on my iBook (shhh!) and I can definitely tell you its made for the G5. A few things of note is that while using Front Row iPhoto and iTunes will be started in the background should access to their libraries be needed. Now you see the need for the G5 processor. I thought my iBook froze when I tried to access the latest episode of LOST through it.
Oh, and before you sue me Apple - I’ve already uninstalled it. And I’m recommending that anyone out there that would like to try out Front Row - do so only if you have a G5 with a decent amount of RAM. It isn’t Front Row itself that hogs memory - but the fact that other applications open “behind-the-scenes” that hogs the memory.
Kyle Jones has put together a nice little tutorial, complete with video, on how to customize your installation of Front Row with your own graphics and titles. Very cool Kyle.
