Hi, Rob is working on the gui stuff, I'm working on a new skin. I think we should activate the new gui stuff with the new skin. The old skin doesn't use the gui code, so nothing get's broken. First of all the status of my new skin:
The menu is working except the extended menu stuff. TV and audio player are not implemented yet (and popup box, but that should not part of the skin anymore). blue_round1 looks like before, blue1_(big|small) has no view area right now, aubin_round1 is WIP and the gray skin may be a problem, I have to think about it later. Set OSD_SKIN to skins/dischi1/skin_dischi1.py to take a look. Now about gui - skin interaction: Right now, when we need a popup box, we draw it on the screen, call DrawSkin later and the box is gone -- that's a bad design. My new skin is working that stable, that Rob could integrate the new gui code into freevo. Rob: There is a new variable config.NEW_SKIN which is true when you use my new skin. Just put "if config.NEW_SKIN" around parts you want to add in the freevo code. And I need a list of things you want to know from the skin settings. I'm thinking of background color, border color, border size, radius of a round box and font information for one or two different fonts. Maybe a button style too (color, font, border)? And I need a way to know if there is any gui object visible. If the skin got a draw and there is a gui object, the skin should remember "I must redraw later". After the last gui object is gone, it should call a function inside the skin so it could redraw if necessary. More changes: right now we call osd.clearscreen some times in freevo. That's bad. The drawskin after that won't work, because the skin only updates changes and doesn't know about the clearscreen. I will change all osd.clearscreen to skin.clearscreen so the skin knows about it. I think it shouldn't be allowed for any parts except the skin and the gui to use the osd functions (audio player and the image viewer are apps, it's ok if they use osd). My next steps: 1. when Rob says what the gui wants to know, I will add this to the xml files and write a function to give this informations to the gui code. 2. change all osd.clearscreen to skin.clearscreen (and a a clearscreen to the old skin) 3. finish porting all xml files to the new layout 4. document the skin xml files so everyone knows what is possible 5. mp3 player and tv support 6. extended menus Dischi -- Who the fuck is "General Failure", and why is he reading my disk? ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Freevo-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-devel
