I haven't used the custom clock plugin within the last years, maybe I
should try it again. However, it requires a (local) logitech media
server, and the UE firmware has to be replaced with a non-UE one (which
should not be very complicated). If patching of the skins is sufficient
for your need, it is probably easier to stick with the current UE
firmware.
> a) Do you know where i could make the album cover smaller?
Have you already found the menu entry on the radio where you can choose
between big and small cover art? I'm not sure if there is a way to cycle
between big and small, but if the big cover is disabled, the small will
be used (which will still be overlapped by the modified and increased
clock). If this is still not small enough for your needs, then you could
try to modify in QVGAlandscapeSkinApplet.lua in either the section
starting with "s.nowplaying_small_art" (if you choose the small covers
setting only) and modify "h" and "padding" in one of the subsequent
lines. The size of the big cover (search for "npartwork" above the small
cover definition) is fit to the width of the screen ("w = WH_FILL"), as
far as I understand the code. However, these are just my assumptions, I
haven't tried to chang the cover sizes until now.
I'm not sure if it is possible to change just the color of the clock in
an easy way. However, playing with the skin files can be performed
without any risks with the jivelite app for windows, and if everything
works fine, the skin can be transferred to the real squeezebox.
A while ago I have started to change the background images of the status
bar to provide a semy-transparent gray background between clock and
cover image by modifying toolbar.png (and toolbar_highlight.png) to
provide better contrast between album covers and the clock, and resized
the status bar accordingly, but that did not work the way I wanted and I
gave up. Maybe you have more luck.
