The Custom Clock screensaver for Squeezebox Controller/Touch/Radio is now ready for usage.
See the following wiki page for more information: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Custom_Clock_applet It's installed by going to "Settings/Advanced/Applet Installer" on the Touch, Radio or Controller. In the Applet Installer you will find a "Custom Clock" applet which you need to install. You will in Squeezebox Server either check the "Show all 3rd party plugins" checkbox or manually configure my repository, if you don't it won't appear in "Applet Installer". Finally, you will need to select "Custom Clock" as screensaver on the Touch, Radio or Controller. It has a setting menu under "Settings/Screen/Custom Clock" where you can select: - which style to use for the image - what kind of time and date information to show - select if you like to show information about currently playing track or not Some screenshots follows below. PLEASE NOTE! It's very easy for me to add new custom styles on user request, you just have to create the necessary images. Since, I'm not a good graphical designer myself I'd really like help to add more styles by someone that's good at graphical design. In the digital mode there are two possible images: - The background image - The clock face image In the analog mode there are five possible images: - The background image - The clock face image (Can be sized so it fills the complete screen or have the same size as the hour/minute/second hand images) - The hour hand (Needs to be a square image with the hand starting in the middle and going straight up) - The minute hand (Needs to be a square image with the hand starting in the middle and going straight up) - The second hand (Needs to be a square image with the hand starting in the middle and going straight up) It's appropriate to create the hand and clock face images with the resolution 240x240, this will fill the complete width on a Squeezebox Controller and the complete height on a Squeezebox Radio. Some sample images from the standard clock applet in the 7.4 firmare: - Clock face: http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/jive/7.4/trunk/squeezeplay/src/squeezeplay/share/applets/QVGAportraitSkin/images/Clocks/Analog/jive_wallpaper_clock_analog.png - Hour hand: http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/jive/7.4/trunk/squeezeplay/src/squeezeplay/share/applets/QVGAportraitSkin/images/Clocks/Analog/clock_analog_hr_hand.png - Minute hand: http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/jive/7.4/trunk/squeezeplay/src/squeezeplay/share/applets/QVGAportraitSkin/images/Clocks/Analog/clock_analog_min_hand.png Post in the 3rd party plugin section of the forum and mention "Custom Clock" in the title of the thread if you have made some images you like to be added as a style. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: customclockclassictouch.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=8172| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68269 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
