is it possible to change the splash screen?

[Kitty]

ok then mate... lets say we have this:

  display->mono_bitmap(bitmap_icons_7x8[mode], STATUSBAR_PLAY_MODE_X_POS,
                    STATUSBAR_Y_POS, STATUSBAR_PLAY_MODE_WIDTH,
                    STATUSBAR_HEIGHT);

ok? now, for now it displays a mono bitmap.. what if i change it from mono to regular bitmap (need to find out how first :]) and then change the icon const to a custom bitmap.. will it work ?:]

Can I insert a delay of x seconds?
Is this easy to implement?

Yep, easy... Just add a sleep line in main.c in the function called app_main

Is it likewise possible to instead insert a "wait" state/command for the player to remain displaying the initial Rockbox screen, until any button is pressed?  Thanks--

[Mmmm]

You mean just change the word 'mono' to 'regular'? Not a chance! mono_bitmap() is no doubt a function that deals with the input of the icon hex code and creates an icon for it. You would have to create a new function that would deal with a 16bit input.. Unless you are lucky and one is already there of course..I doubt it though. You'll have to grep for mono_bitmap, look at the code in whichever file it is in and start there...Probably not an easy job!

Instead of the sleep() function you could try

Code: [Select]

get_action (CONTEXT_NONE,TIMEOUT_BLOCK);

This will wait for a button press before continuing to execute.

ok then mate, what if we do something else.. can we make it load a bmp instead?!?

[Mmmm]

They are already monochrome bmp files that you are loading (albeit converted ones)!

ok mate i get that, and whats what i want to replace..

display->mono_bitmap prints a converted monochrome bmp right? i say, instead of it loading it.. i want it to load a diffrent bmp (like on wps for example ...)

i mean if the wps is changeable and can be designed, y not the browser ?:\

Well, if you are just talking about the WPS, then you can load any bmps using the WPS tags. There is a tag to disable the status bar and then you just make your own in the usual WPS way.

my own wps for the browser??!


look man, the way i see it there are 2 things:

1. the player it self.. what u see when a file is playing.. the progressbar, title, artist etc. ok? to make that one cooler, u use wps right? good..

2. is the "browser" - where u see all the settings, files etc. etc. now <--- there is a ugly status bar wich i wana custom.. u understand my thought?

IIRC some of the unofficial builds have the option to customise the statusbar (I reserve the right to be completely in the blue). Check them out...

You might also want to take a look at this patch:

Right..yeah...what I originally thought you wanted was right...For some reason i missed the "y" in the previous post!

Have you seen the code for the WPS? It is a million times more complex than the browser code...Just a design decision I suppose....

well, i tried this patch but got errors:\

[rossy!]

Is it possible to call a function from the wps code and make it display a 24bit bitmap in the status bar.

No.

You CAN remove the status bar entirely, and put whatever you want there instead though.

This should likely be its own thread, as it has nothing to do with the splash screen.
