Yeah, I wish that were better, too. It likely won't improve because 1) I
haven't found time to code Squeezebox stuff for years now and 2) I don't
use FuzzyTime much myself for the FuzzyTime screensaver. Most of my
devices are SB2/SB3 and I use a version of SuperDateTime that I've
customized to use FuzzyTime APIs to move everything around (even less
often -- only moves the bitmaps when it refreshes the weather data). SDT
makes it even harder to figure out the max shift as it has separately
positioned text and bitmapped icons -- so making FT's screensaver max
shift logic better wouldn't help my usage, and might actually complicate
the APIs used by my custom SDT. But FT is licensed under the GPL, so
anyone who'd like to is welcome to take the code & tweak it. I hope
that's not cold comfort. :-(
