Title: 4G grey screensaver album art?
Post by: lostcause on January 30, 2008, 04:58:39 AM

Hi guy's, just a quick question if I may...
I have a 4G grey and was wondering if it's possible to have the album art full screen on a delay from pressing the buttons? When you press again the details come back on...

Sorry if this has already been asked or covered but I'm completely new to this.

Cheers

You can use a conditional on the Hold switch to change the displayed album art to be full screen.  You'll need multiple copies of your album art at appropriate resolutions, though.  You will also need to write your own theme, although I seem to recall a theme or two that do this already (I don't recall for which target).  It's not quite what you asked for, but I think that's about as close as you'll be able to manage without modifying the source code and compiling your own build.

Thanks Chronon, that sounds pretty cool.
I went and got a 4G photo to enjoy the graphics more (don't know if this changes anything).
So the album art could come on when I toggle to hold? I like that idea.
If anyone knows of any theme that can do that it would be most appreciated although I have already started to learn the basics of creating my own WPS.
Thanks again

Look through the stuff on using conditionals.  You'll basically want to have the bulk of your code inside of conditionals for the Hold switch.  If the hold switch is not on then display the main WPS.  If the hold switch is on then only display full sized album art image.  Conditionals basically give you if/else functionality.

P.S. Thanks!
