ready to commit conditional viewports... breaks %P and %pb in current .wps'

[Angyman]

I think it would be a good idea to host some simulators and collect the links to them in one huge post or something like that. I could host about 4 at my space on the university server (which is pretty small)

[JdGordon]

I was going to do a heap of sims but can only build for linux... ill get someone to build some windows sims soonish...

there is now a perl script on the tracker for FS9027 which will convert your wps to the new %pb syntax automatically

[Angyman]

At the moment i am making a theme which uses viewports and already ran into the problem that i already used all 16 possible viewports. So i would love to see the number of maximum viewports increased ;-)

how many do you think are needed? i dont have a problem raising the limit to 32....

win32 sims are being compiled with FS#9027 and FS#9051 and will show up http://jdgordon.info:8080/~jonno/rockbox/wpschanges/ once its been compiled...
please let me know of any bugs... also, if you want linux sims i can do them also... (be patient.. i only have 22KB/s upload...)

Is multifont included in these new patches? (I'm talking about the ability to add more than one font besides one defined by the theme and the system font)

[pondlife]

Hopefully they only include the changes we're trying to test, so no multifont...

So i can speak only for myself and do not know what others think but 32 could be more than enough for my needs right now... But i also thought about a viewport surrounded by 4 others to display rounded corners... so if anyone else has such ideas he will be happy to have as much as possible ;-)

make it one viewport and have it contain a bmp with all 4 rounded corners while leaving everything else transparent.
or  just put all of the corners into one viewport. I'm not quite sure what the problem is in your case and why the corners can't be included in the backdrop...

Because the corners should only appear if a certain state like hold switch or pause is active (conditional)... Including them into the backdrop wopuld make them visible all the time

[ZincAlloy]

alright. I still wonder what keeps you from putting them into one viewport instead of four.. I find it hard to imagine what exactly you want to achieve. an illustration would make things easier..

I'd just like to mention that I've managed to fix all of my WPSes to the upcoming code via testing on the patched sim, and I must say...  No bugs to report, but dang is it fun trying to make sure I don't make a small mistake somewhere that kills everything, and more fun finding it when I do.  In any case, I'm ready and waiting for the commit now to do a dump of the updated WPS themes.

[JdGordon]

Thank you!
1 week to go (assuming I can be bothered fixing the rest of the shipped WPS' before then)

[Zardoz]

has this been committed yet? (just a question, not a 'hurry up' or anything) I haven't installed a new build in a few weeks and wondered if the latest would break me? so to speak

[GodEater]

This table on the http://www.rockbox.org/recent.shtml#svn page is quite useful for working this out on your own without needing to ask. Just check in the "What" column for a reference to the FS numbers of what Jd has been working on to see if it's been commited yet...

[Zardoz]

Thanks for that GodEater. (sorry for the lazy question!)
