Auto-disappearing volume indicator

[audio-i]

Great indeed! Thanks

Alright, my themes are posted!

If anyone needs some ideas of what can be done, they can either view the screen shots I posted earlier in this thread, or they can go here (scroll way down till you see H10Like, that and the themes listed after it in my section use the %mv tag).

EDIT: Just one thought...  Testing it on target, I've found that the 1s delay you had originally set the patch up with worked perfectly, the shortened delay is a split-second too short.  The "pop-up" that I've worked into my themes using the new tag disappears just before the repeat kicks in with the shorter delay, whereas with the 1s delay this never happened.  Plus, I happen to like having the extra split second to verify the volume level is right where I want it...

So without my knowing anything about programming, would this theme be fairly easy to change to a different type of player?

In my head, you would just need to replace some differences onto a theme made for the different player...
but, I guess since they're encoded differently, you would probably have to basically recompile into a different language or format or something...

Read the WPS wiki pages.  Its not particularly difficult.

The only problem I can see (if you're referring specifically to any of my themes) would be the size of the graphics, since my DAP (iriver H10 20GB) has a smaller screen than most of the other targets and I don't really use anti-aliasing except on the backgrounds, and of course the WPS file would have to be adjusted accordingly (primarily by adjusting size and position the viewports) to properly position the graphics and text.

The main wiki page saratoga is referring to is here.

ok, ill change it back to 1s

[karashata]

Thank ye kindly, sir.  'Tis much appreciated.

just an update, you can now specify a timeout between the mv and the <> bit...
%?mv1.2<yes|no> will stay true for 1.2s after being released.... if none is set then defaults to 1s

[karashata]

Noted, and thanks for leaving the default as 1s without a specified value.
