Yes i know but im just offering the idea, and it would make it a hell of a lot easier to make. Im not complaining, just suggesting.
Also it would be cool to have auto-dissapear, which i have not found a way to do witht he current wps language.

I can't think of very many places something like that would be useful, but everyone's entitled to their opinions...

Just curious... What do you mean by "auto-disappear"? I've been able to make my graphics for my WPS themes disappear or even flicker/flash/blink (whatever you wanna call it) just using the right WPS code...

By "auto-dissapear", I think zorblood means an effect similar to that of the iPod OF, where the volume meter is only visible when you are changing the volume. I looked for this as well, when I tried to make an iPod OF theme, but there is no "volume is changing" tag.

Ah, I understand then. The H10 original firmware does something similar with its volume display. If someone could implement something like that effectively enough to get it into SVN Rockbox I could use it in my H10Like themes to make them even more like the original firmware...

have a look at FS#9460 ... that in combination with viewports should let you make some interesting screens...

Well now, this aught to be interesting... I'll need to set up a build environment and test it out some, see what I can do...

Any chance of it ever making it into SVN?

JdGordon · « **Reply #6 on:** October 06, 2008, 08:25:26 PM »

probably, eventually...

Should be awesome when/if it does, in the mean time I'll give it a test and see how it works.

EDIT: Tested the patch out, built a well-working WPS with it. I like it!

Can't wait to see it reach SVN (if it does, here's hoping!).

can you attach some screenshots to give others some idea of whats possible?

karashata · « **Reply #9 on:** October 07, 2008, 08:39:25 PM »

Yeah, sure, just gimme a couple minutes to get some.

EDIT: And here we go!

This is my WPS without the volume display.

And this is shown while changing it.

I discovered just how easy it is to exceed the image buffer...

JdGordon · « **Reply #10 on:** October 07, 2008, 09:01:30 PM »

nice, and yes, we need to start thinking about allowing bigger image buffers.

karashata · « **Reply #11 on:** October 07, 2008, 09:12:18 PM »

Well, I suppose that's something else to think about changing if/when that patch makes it into SVN, since no doubt it'll be pretty much needed... At least, if anyone uses larger graphics like I did...

zorblood · « **Reply #12 on:** October 07, 2008, 11:15:30 PM »

Nice, I think this patch could easily be implemented into an ipod nano 3g theme...

JdGordon · « **Reply #13 on:** October 09, 2008, 07:11:06 AM »

this has just been commited.

Sweet!

Time to go post some updated WPS themes...
