Need help with my WPS :/

[Biont]

Hello everyone.

I've been working on my (touch enabled) theme for my Cowon D2 for 2 weeks now and it's getting better and better.

Sadly, I've encountered a weird glitch that clips off about 15px of the album art when playback is paused (which causes an options menu to pop up)

After spending the whole afternoon looking for what causes this, I give up and ask you. I know this one is more complicated than most standard themes, but I can't solve this without help


Here are some instructions about how to use the theme:

and here is the theme itself:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 


EDIT: This won't work with the D2 simulator found at the extras page since it's outdated. Also the touchscreen mode had to be set to absolute point, of course

Wow, impressive WPS.  Im guessing that when paused, a viewpoint or image is shown that is overlapping with the album art.  Thats all I would think.

[Biont]

Thank you for your answer, I'm glad you you like the WPS .


But If the problem really is an overlapping viewport/image, I haven't been able to find it for a pretty long time now (Though I admit I haven't looked at the WPS for some days since the screen buffer is full and I can't do anything substantial anymore)

That doesn't neccessarily mean it's not the actual problem, I'm probably just "blind" from looking at my own code for so long.
But I already spend hours looking for that damn overlapping viewport and it's just not there^^

Also, the glitch pretty randomly appears at the top of the screen. I once made a small change to the WPS and then it appeared a few pixels below the options screen, which didn't make any sense at all. From what I learned, it shouldn't behave like that if overlapping viewports are the problem

I'm really out of ideas here.....

Can you post a screenshot of the problem?

[Biont]

Sure.

I also attached a screen of the WPS is playing mode so you can see the exact difference

[gevaerts]

The album art is shown in viewport c. The options pop-up is shown in viewport d.
Both are shown by %?mp<-|%Vdc|%Vdd|-|-|-|-|-|->, which means that c should be shown while playing, and d while paused. They are not shown anywhere else in the wps.

This means that I think there is indeed a bug, but the result of that bug is not that the AA is clipped while paused, it's that parts of the AA are shown at all.

a current build simulator shows this behaviour also while seeking.

Not surprising. The %?mp line doesn't specify anything for statuses other than play and pause. That means that the same redraw bug occurs (i.e., AA does not get cleared)

I cant see anything obvious in the skins... if I get a chance I'll look at it in the sim tonight... I'm wondering if its a wierd interaction between the wps and sbs though

Sadly, that's the only way to make the WPS work as intended. I tried to put the AA in the background several times, but then the AA just wouldn't show up at all. Also the touch areas need to be in conditional viewports.

@JdGordon: I also thought this might be the problem, but there are no overlapping viewports there, either. I played around with the UI viewport setting, but it didn't help.
It'd be great if you had a look at it, anyway



....I know I'm asking the WPS to do things it's not designed for. I just hope it still can be solved with the WPS code I'm familiar with. If it's a problem with the skin enige itself, I can't do anything (which is very annoying to me)

screw that... this theme is damn impressive and definitely should be working   (/me needs to get his touchscreen targets going again)

[Biont]

Hehe....thanks for the heads up

[gevaerts]

OK, I found the cleared line issue.

The %mp line is wrong. It needs to be
%?mp<|%Vdc|%Vdd||||||>
(these are not "set parameter to default" bits).

That gets rid of the '-' character shown at the beginning of the cleared line.
The cleared line itself is caused by the line ending at the end of the %mp line. One solution for that would be to move the entire %mp line out of any active viewport, e.g. by putting it right at the beginning of the file (I tried just before the %V|8...). I believe you should also be able to do it by placing comment markers at the end of the line to eat the newline character, but I couldn't get that to work.

The AA area is still cleared every time there's a full redraw (after e.g. context menu, quickscreen, backlight off,...) while not in "playing" state. I can't think of a way to fix that right now.

Cool, can you post an updated version, when it is finished?
I would like to port it to portrait mode for e.g. the mini2440. If I may.

[Biont]

Thank you so much

Okay now it is fixed

Here is the most recent version (with "custom font" and custom iconset):

I hope there will be a theme site for the D2 soon



Also, can I please draw your attention to this thread that was moved to the feature ideas forum that noone reads:

My theme could be so incredibly much more awesome if there were some more tokens to work with


@perfectdrug: Sure! Just mention me somewhere
