Customisable Statusbar

[kugel.]

It's perhaps doable, but difficult (code-wise). The WPS as a screen is part of the control flow, while the statusbar (neither the classic nor the new custom one) is not.

That's bad. It would really make navigating a lot more intuitive.

Sadly, all I can offer is to make awesome themes out of it once it's implemented. I can't code at all. (and I don't think I'll learn it soon enough to be of value here :'( )

Below is the statusbar I made for the Sansa e200 v1/v2
I also made one for the h300 but it's more like the ipod classic menu and shows what can be done.

nice... icons look funny though... I was wondering how long it would take for someone to do that sort of theme.

The current svn snapshot causes that it is not possible to use fonts with custom statusbar. It doesn't matter which font I use, it display a very small one. If I disable custom status bar, the font is that one I've chosen before.

I think r23507 caused this. I compiled now r23506 to avoid this and it works...

[JdGordon]

interesting... paste your .sbs file please?

you are setting the font to 0 in all those viewports which is the sysfont, change ti to 1

[WbL]

Ok, then the behavior changed. Thanks a lot I will try this as soon as possible.

// edit:
thanks a lot, it works by setting the font in VI to 1.

Err, you edited your post massively...anyway, it nowhere reads that 0 should be used for sbs. you can use the user font just as well for the whole sbs.

In fact, you shouldn't even be using 1, but "-" instead (although that's really the same as 1 here). But it's not the same for the colors. So instead of filling the colors of %Vi with values, use "-" to use the global colors from the settings - as you mostly did already.

CustomWPS says that %Vi is used for the lists if there's no UI vp set. That doesn't only apply for x, y, width and height, but also for font and color fields.

Hi kugel,

may you please delete my aaSimpleV2 Theme (H10 5GB)?
With aaSimpleV3 it's redundant. Thanks.

By the way: overlapping works really fine again ;-)
