There is now a 2.0 version of Custom Clock applet and the corresponding Custom Clock Helper plugin.
It's a major upgrade so unfortunately it means that if you have made any custom styles with the old versions you won't be able to use them in this version. If you need help converting such styles, save the customclockhelper.prefs file before upgrading and post it here and I'll assist you. The new features are: - You can add any number of time text items in comparison to the earlier version which were limited to 3. - It supports switchable now playing texts as the previous version but now also separate text items for artist, album, song - Album cover can have any size and position - Analog clock can have any size and position and it can also be shown together with a digital clock - Play, repeat and shuffle status can be shown as custom icons - Wireless and battery icons are available but I haven't tested these yet, so use them at your own risk. - You can have 5 separate screen saver configurations, so it's possible to have a different clock when the player is stopped, off or playing. - Immediate feedback on the player display when you adjust something in Custom Clock Helper plugin while the screen saver is activated on the player - Easy export/import of styles made by other users The procedure to create a new style is: 1. Install Custom Clock Helper plugin in Squeezebox Server through Plugin tab 2. Install Custom Clock applet in Radio/Touch/Controller through Applet Installer menu 3. In Custom Clock Helper plugin through SBS web interface, create a new style by going to the Custom Clock Helper settings, select the "Style: New..." option, or start with one of the existing styles or choose "Style: Import..." to import an existing style exported by someone else. 4. Give the style a name, check that you want it to be used on "Radio" and click Apply to save it. 5. On the Radio device select the style in Settings/Screen/Screensavers/Custom Clock Settings/Custom Clock #*" 6. On the Radio select Custom Clock as screen saver and wait for it to be activated After these steps you can now continue editing the style in Squeezebox Server through the Custom Clock Helper settings page. When you click apply you will see the changes take effect immediately on the Radio display if the screen saver is activate. I'm not sure all the previous clock styles looks exactly as before, so if you have used one of those and misses something, let me know and I'll add it again. If you think the plugin is to advanced but knows some graphic design, please post images and I'm sure someone will be able to help you with the configuration. So, let's start to design some clocks! -- 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
