Hi!
Hi Viggo,
I had nothing on my todo-list today, so I started to fiddle around with osd:drawstringframed().
Great! I did it a lonnnng time ago and it's really hacky in some areas... The shadow was also my code to overcome a problem with a skin we had some time ago that mixed bright and dark areas too much. If you have some more time I would ask you to look in: - create {shadow,borders} + blurr. It should use C (maybe with mmx/sse) extensions or it will be slow... as you can see our shadow is just a duplicate of the string and *doesn't* support alpha, AFAIR.
The shadow and border was fixed by dischi using a temp surface and it now supports alpha. I don't believe it's that much slower, even using the transparency effect.
I'll take a look at how to make blur effects using pygame, but as you say - it will probably be to slow. I'm uncertain on how to do this in C however.
- MPlayer OSD. It's something I'll look in future, but if you have some time, than you can help here. Basically is extend video.bmovl to support skin with Info_Area and View_Area. Dischi said we will need a new Screen with update() reimplemented.
I haven't looked too much at how the update works. I agree it would be very cool to get a feature like this in freevo. There are some issues that need to be fixed/updated on the mail plugin atm, so I need to make a new release before I commit myself to anything else. We've also been building a compiler at school lately, and it's quite timeconsuming, but I hope to have time for something like this soon.
BTW: does bmovl2 get integrated in mplayer? if not, what's pending?
The suggestion is to replace the '...', after strings that do not fit it's content area, with some kind of transparent gradient. Personally I think this will allow freevo to show more text, while still indicating that the string is longer than what is displayed.
Excellent.
See screenshot for example - http://www.matrise.net/~viggo/freevo/screenshots/new_ellipses.jpg
The current implementation has some bad hacks, as I do not know how to do the shadow- and border-effects' alpha stuff correctly yet. I therefore just chop away these effects when going into the gradient phase to make it a little less ugly.
:(
Ok, what I would like to know - is this something that would be added if done properly? I don't wanna spend more time on it if it's not going to be used.
thankfully dischi already integrated it :D Gustavo
Yeah, dischi's been a real busy-boy this weekend :) /me likes
