Title: adding new features
Post by: bill961 on October 25, 2019, 06:21:05 AM

Can somebody add clock to startup screen instead of pictureflow or beside it ?
If not where can I get some pointers to do it myself , that clock screen needs a couple of new interfaces ....but one thing at a time ,...
What I'm saying is :  settings > general settings > startup/shutdown > start screen:
-previous screen
-main menu
-files
-database
-resume playback
-settings
-recording
-fm radio
-recent bookmarks
-picture flow
----------clock--------!!!!!!!!   From plugins > applications , and maybe add a jump back to screen function if no key pressed like a screensaver

You can set plugins like the clock to run at startup.  See this thread:

Search for the string you want to change, change it, and the compile a new build. You can use grep on your PC, or the grep search built into git.rockbox.org. in this case it'll show you the path to the language files that contain the strings for the UI.

As for your other questions, it is hard for anyone to guess what you're doing wrong without more information.

Thank you ! . The other stuff all works fine . I changed the bootlogo succesfully and manager to run the clock plugin at startup. But i'd like to have the plugin act like a screensaver

you just need to go into the lang file and change the string

https://github.com/Rockbox/rockbox/blob/master/apps/lang/english.lang#L10562

https://github.com/Rockbox/rockbox/blob/master/apps/lang/english.lang#L103

https://github.com/Rockbox/rockbox/blob/master/apps/lang/english.lang#L117

now if you don't want it to be system wide then its slightly more complicated

I don't know where the source menu is so i'd need to see the code but you either need to change it to use LANG_ON & LANG_OFF
or possibly implement your own yesno.c function for it
