[SlimDevices: Radio] Option for double height/larger clock during playback
It would be nice if there was an option to set a larger, double height clock/icon bar while a stream or file is playing, perhaps with a translucent background to extend the cover art area... That clock is REALLY small... It wouldnt be too difficult to enlarge it without screwing up the layout... -- joltdude joltdude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34779 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72399 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

If all you want is the time, set the Clock as a screensaver for "when playing" -- Tony T Tony T's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34544 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72399 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Or if you want both album art and time, see Erland's "Information Screen" applet, which allows you to switch between the two at timed intervals. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67422 -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72399 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Option for double height/larger clock during playback
Set the screensaver, but theres no reason not to delegate a bit more screen real estate to the bottom status bar at least double the current height... since the song name is large enough (larger there would be nice but not necessary)... To do any slight modifications always seems to take a third party plugin... -- joltdude joltdude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34779 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72399 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Option for double height/larger clock during playback
I agree that a lot of things seem to take plugins. But look at the flip-side. For a lot of consumer devices you just plain can't customize them beyond trivial UI changes. I think open source and highly pluggable solutions spoil us because we realize that almosth anything is possible but that Logitech can or will only support so many of the options themselves. I wish my car that won't remember to default to showing outside temperature or my TV that insists on telling me it doesn't have the current time after being unplugged (cheapo Sony couldn't include a battery clock in it apparently) supported third-party plugins! I'll have to check out Erland's plugin. Although if the only option is to switch between two screens I'm not sure it directly addresses the original suggestion. -Jeff -- jdoering jdoering's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17482 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72399 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I might throw in this again: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69867 Yet we all know this is not going to happen in the next months if at all and messing around with a buggy API and lua interpreter doesn't seem very inviting. Not to speak of the open license questions. -- 0xdeadbeef 0xdeadbeef's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2287 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72399 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Thanks erland for the plugins.. but 0x has a good point, if anything an option built in for a choice of UIs would be nice and still keep with the general theme of the device. -- joltdude joltdude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34779 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72399 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
