Specific Clip Plus issue - Pixel Artefacts on Lock Screen

[sockbox]

Yeah, the bitmap strip isn't going to work for what you want to do.

I've taken your suggestions and added them to my updates. I had to leave the Clock adjustments out, because pixels were still staying behind, for some reason.

Thanks for your help.

Day Code isn't quite correct:

Code: [Select]

%ca%?cu<|s|nes|rs|f|ur|>day

Should be:

Code: [Select]

%ca%?cu<|s|nes|rs||ur|>day

 <<No F in Frifday

No F in Frifday

...there's 2 f's in Frifday.

Har! I still didn't actually correct the code up there either.  Changed now.

[sockbox]

Yeah. I caught that error earlier, but the bad code got quoted and copied over. Also made a slight change for the month code leaving out the last ember. However, saving on code doesn't make much of a difference now that the skin buffer is much larger than the original 13k.

You should  file a bug report for the bitmap strip not working when used in a bar tag.

A second side effect, is that the %ax then doesn't work properly. F for instance, on the day code, you get some funny results. I particularly like it when it's in Portuguese, and it's Sexta-Feira or Friday

OK. I'd love to see that working.

Thanks.

%ax works as intended.
It will however flip alignment tags also, so one needs to use the language direction sensitive alignment tags as opposed to the generic alignment tags (yes, there are two types...).

You also need to make sure if your using translation that you set up a condition for right-to-left languages, otherwise when your left-to-right code is rendered it will be backwards.
ie. Foo Baz Bar will become Bar Baz Foo.

There's several examples in my themes, one easily available on the tracker, of how to accommodate for right to left languages and translated strings.

Edit: additionally, bitmapstrips not working for the bar tags is not a bug. The bar image is loaded by the bar tag declaration, not %xl'd earlier in the code, so it just wont work. This isn't a bug.

Sorry Saint. I put you on COMPLETELY the wrong track there. I've had %ax on my brain and had forgotten what it did. Besides, I've ruined my own joke. Strike that first sentance of mine. I'm just referring to the language translation using that code suggestion of Sockbox's. [An EDIT has been made]

Great. I don't have to find out now, where to file a bug report.
