one thing that always bugs me when i use rockbox is that if i go to sleep and want both sleep timer and wake up alarm, they're located in totally different places. to me it makes totally no sense that the alarm is located under settings->general settings->system (or something like that, can't remember exactly...)
wouldn't it make MUCH more sense to put the wake up alarm in the same place as the sleep timer?
-
Yes, I think 'system' is the logical place for both of them.
-
ok, i'd be very happy if that would change in the next release :)
-
/Pedantic. What release? We haven't had one for years (since 2.5 for the Archos players). If you write a patch and put it on flyspray it'll have a much better chance - 1) very few developers regularly read the forums and 2) people will forget.
-
right, i forgot that there are no releases... well i don't really know how i would have to write the patch, but i think it would take one of the developers like 5 or 10 minutes to do one...
anyone around that knows how to write such a patch?

how do you know this EXACTLY if you dont even know HOW TO patch?

oh come on, that's ridiculous...
i wrote "i think" and "like"... so i don't know. but i have a little programming experience, and i think (no i don't know it, i'm just guessing (http://tavern.unblack.com/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif)) that it's a little thing to change. but as i never looked at the rockbox code it would take me a lot of time; on the other side probably it wouldn't be a big deal for a developer to change that or write a fix for it.
and secondly, this is a forum for serious discussion and suggestions that might improve rockbox... but if you don't want a better rockbox, you're welcome (http://tavern.unblack.com/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif)
1) very few developers regularly read the forums and 2) people will forget.
if developers don't even read this forum and forget about it anyways, what's the point of this forum?
-
For users to ask other users questions and get answers without bothering the developers.

If anyone has any serious recommendations for menu layout improvements I just brought this wiki page back from the dead:

And also added a new menu layout proposal if anyone is interested in providing feedback.
