First, CustomClock has become much more than a way to display a clock. It basically allows you to build custom screens which can then be used as "screensaver" for various functions. I've created custom "now playing" screens when the built-in screen just didn't work that well for the application - I built a "PlayWithCoverandClock" screensaver for the Radio which I use as my now-playing screen, because I wanted a larger clock display... BUT, If I'd wanted, I could have built it with NO clock showing at all. It allows you to build a screen view with graphics (static, cover art), tag information, playing status, wireless strength indicator, and even a clock if you want it. CustomClock is NOT used for navigating (that is, if you are navigating through menus on your touch). Once you select something to play, you typically get a "Now Playing" screen. You can actually select the "Now Playing" screen, and also a screen saver used "when playing" - these could be different... Suggest you try CustomClock - It's a "paid" applet, but I believe Erland offers a free trial period. There are existing screens you can try to get an idea of what it does, and these can be a good starting point for creating your own custom screen. (You also need the CustomClockHelper plugin on LMS to create and/or modify CustomClock screens). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105426 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
