Scrollbar Bar Tag
« on: October 04, 2010, 03:25:29 PM »
Hello,
I want to suggest a new feature for theme-creation. It would be cool to read out the current position of the scrollbar in the menus, so you would be able to create your own scrollbars. I imagine, this could be handled like the bar tag for the volume. I don't know much of programming rockbox, but since you already have a scrollbar implemented, it won't be too difficult to enhance this a bit (hopefully ;) ).
Thank you in advance!

on the wishlist, not so simple to implement though... My end goal would be to eventually theme every part of the lists (so each list item would be themeable), no clue how to do it yet though.

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

I was thinking about having everything being able to be themed also. Like to be able to theme everything  on the main screen ( or anything else you wanted on the other screens as well )
Like this : http://www.classicmenu.8k.com/images/sansarockboxed.jpg .
Hmm... What about a border that is shown on every screen too if you wanted? Is that a possibility at least?

I actually don't want to have everything customizable, that'll be too complex. But a new scrollbar would be a great step. The next one on my wishlist would be an independent setting for font size and menu entry. Currently the menu entrys gets scaled only by the size of the used font.

@redblade8: What do you mean exactly by "border"? Just a border as a static picture without scrolling would be somehow boring...

- Yes the idea of everything being customizable would be complex.
-I agree with you. Say I wanted Nimbus : font size 20, or font size 6. It doesn't exist . If you were to have an independent setting for font size, that would be helpful. Also maybe an option to have your font bolded, italic, strike through, shadowed, or even underlined if you wanted.
- A border would be like this ( a border for all screens,in this picture its the win 95/98 border):
I was thinking of making a windows 95/98 theme for the sansa e200's.
