This is probably going to sound horribly nit-picky, but exactly how can the H100 screen show a "bright, flashing warning"?

[BdN3504]

well it's not black, but it also isn't white, so it's bright... you come up with a better phrasing and i'll implement it ASAP.

[evilnick]

Just take out the word "bright". As it isn't bright, it's grey.

I knew I'd seen this post a while ago, perhaps an old subject for many, not for me since I only don't really update my Rockbox so often (it works so good for me that I don't usually feel I need to), and only got the new ui interface feature a few days ago with stable version 3.5

I've been normally rather apathetic towards “eyecandy” developments (don't get me wrong, I think they're great, just usually not so much for me), and was particularly skeptic about  the custom ui interface making a big difference. But now that I've actually “felt it”, I've got to say it's really impressing. And quite fun too I'm using the arboxwidgets theme, now browsing through the menus is so different! I mean, everything’s nice and all, but additionally, the widgets do actually change just while browsing the settings options… like some sort of animated menus… awesome!

Thanks for this development  and all the others that make Rockbox so great.

I have a theme that uses the ui viewports, but debian gives me an error when loading it if the statusbar option is off in the cfg file.

So basically, Debian returns:

Code: [Select]

ERROR: set_viewport out of bounds: x: 0 y: 0 width: 438 height:1

Also, everytime I load the theme, the height value in the error increments by 1.

The error happens when the following is true in the cfg file:

Code: [Select]

statusbar: off

It looks fine in the sim and doesnt seg fault unless I keep loading it.

If I set the statusbar to on, top or bottom, no error shows up.

Is this a bug?

Details:
svn version: 24755
nano 1g
vmware debian

Edit: Figured it out. Supposed to be

Code: [Select]

statusbar: custom

in the cfg.

By Debian do you mean the sim?  Debian is just an operating system.

Edit:  I missed that you had solved it.

By Debian do you mean the sim?

Yes, sorry the sim!

I found another problem though. Most plugins dont work if use the ui viewport in the cfg. On the nano it balks saying...

Code: [Select]

Data Abort at 01F823C8 (0)

... whenever I try running a plugin like the clock. On the sim it seems to be ok if the statusbar is set to custom with the ui viewport, but will hang if set to off.
