11:28:09copperindeed the guy is running Rockbox 3.13
11:28:28copperkugel: hi, could you take a look at FS #12973 if you have some time?
11:28:30fs-bluebothttp://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/12973 %Vs(invert) partially fails with centered or right-aligned content (bugs, unconfirmed)
11:30:39kugelcopper: I think it's normal that %Vs only starts when the text starts
11:31:10coppergah
11:31:20copperthis is why we need guidelines for the theme markup
11:31:57copperoh, you mean the other thing
11:32:11kugelCustomWPS is a bit ambigious but it refers to "text style"
11:32:16copperkugel: so I can't have an inverted viewport with centered or right aligned text?
11:32:48kugelwhat about Vf/Vb?
11:33:04copperI've tried everything
11:35:15kugelwell, it can be fixed, should be trivial due to my put_line() work
11:35:53copperer, I mean I was trying to use the fg and bg colors from the cfg file
11:36:18copperin order to make a theme with which you could change the main color by using the Rockbox color picker
11:37:18kugel%St ?
11:37:23copperno
11:37:33copperjust %dr() and %Vs(invert)
11:38:08copperanything that uses the foreground color
11:38:51kugeli mean can you use %St to pass the cfg values to %Vf?
11:38:58kugeli guess not
11:39:00copperno
11:39:11coppersomeone talked about that recently
11:41:38kugelok
11:42:17kugelI could make your case work but that would most likely break lines where twoor three of %al,%ac and %ar are used
11:42:45kugele.g. drawing the center part would draw over the left part
11:44:03coppereh, we don't want that
11:44:41kugelright
11:44:42copperit should be a function of the viewport, not the text
11:44:57copperthough I guess it doesn't work like that
11:45:04***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
11:47:21copperRockbox 3.14 is sooo overdue
11:47:41copperprobably all my themes break on 3.13
11:47:56copperand some users don't say anything
11:48:19copperor don't realize when something is obviously broken
11:54:44copperkugel: it's inconsistent though: I have a viewport with %Vf() and %Vb() and centered text: the background color is applied to the entire line, not just the text
11:55:03kugelyes
11:55:16copperbut then if I insert %Vs(invert) in there, then the background is applied only on the beginning of the text and to end of the viewport, to the right of the text
11:55:21kugelit's not inconsistent, they're simply not the same
11:55:45copper?
11:56:15kugelre 3.14: I'll ask AlexP about it once I see him
12:00
12:01:53kugelcopper: can you try this: http://pastie.org/9089530
12:03:02copperok
12:09:49 Quit ygrek (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
12:10:12kugelhttp://pastie.org/9089553 <- fixed maths
12:11:06copperit breaks %ar
12:11:53kugelthe second paste too?
12:12:02copperno, gonna try the second one now
12:15:28copperer, I don't need to recompile everything, I guess
12:16:11gevaertsNo need for make clean on that one
12:17:49copperkugel: everything works :D
12:18:23coppertried %al, %ac, %ar with and without %Vs(invert), and all three at once, with and without %Vs(invert)
12:18:42kugeland two of them?
12:19:44copperyou mean like: %Vs(invert)%alLeft %Vs(invert)%acCenter?
12:20:44copperthat works as if there was only one %Vs(invert)
12:20:52kugel%alLeft%arRight
12:21:33kugelonly one %Vs (probably the last one) per line is effective
12:21:37copperworks
12:24:48kugelcool
12:25:09kugelcopper: how would you expect %Vs(invert) to work on its own line?
12:25:27kugelapply to the next line, or all remaining ones in the viewport?
12:26:29kugeland related, what makes you think it works on its own line at all?
12:27:06coppernah I was just confused with what markup is supposed to be on its own line, and what isn't
12:27:26copperhaving %Vs(invert) on the same line as the text it's meant to affect, makes perfect sense, don't change that

15:18:15copperpixelma_: in order to make the color of the status bar user-settable, like we were talking about, I used %Vs(invert) for text, 1-bit images, and viewports containing a blank space for the background
15:18:49nrgnice job copper!
15:18:56copperand %Vb(-) and %Vf(-) to reset the colors previously set for the %Vi() menu
15:19:31copperI'm not entirely sure what I'm doing is the expected behavior or if it's not exploiting some bug
15:20:00coppernrg: I went nearly nuts on that thing :P
15:20:23copperbut it seems I have finally reached my "theming wholy grail"
15:20:55copperI'll be able to delete the gazillion Googley themes
15:21:00copperand upload just one
15:26:54[Saint]I'd hold off on that.
15:27:21[Saint]I'm pretty sure the fix just broke deliberate behavior.
15:28:02amayer[Saint]: fun killer!
15:28:30amayer[Saint]: just kidding. what broke?
15:28:32copperdoubtful
15:28:51[Saint]Why so?
15:29:02[Saint]Is it too hard to imagine it was edded for a reason?

15:30:03copperamayer: set the battery to "numerical"
15:30:08[Saint]Wait until JdGordon_ comments on this.
15:30:20[Saint]He had a reason to do it like this in the first place.
15:30:28copperuh?
15:30:37[Saint]Someone coming and wiping that out without consultation doesn't sit right with me.
15:30:56[Saint]Without so much asking if its intended bahavior or not.
15:31:06[Saint]To fit a single case, no less.
15:31:22copperdude, it's obviously a bug
15:31:44copperwithout %Vs(invert), the whole viewport line is drawn
15:31:50[Saint]It may be, but, don;t get too attached to the fix just yet.
15:31:53copperwith it, before the fix, only part of it would be drawn
15:32:22 Quit jhMikeS (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
15:34:10[Saint]Its all very well to say "its obviously a bug", and it may be.
15:34:24[Saint]But you don;t know there's no themes out there that use the "bugged" behavior.
15:34:37copperwell that's always a problem
15:34:39[Saint]...which would now be broken.
15:34:44copperit was a problem with kugel's other fixes
15:35:00copperand some of the themes that haven't been fixed since then, are now broken
15:35:03[Saint]Well, I'd like to see JdGordon_ at least comment on this.
15:35:14[Saint]Preferably before commit, but that moment is passed.
15:35:20copperbut if you guys are going to stop kugel from fixing what needs to be fixed…
15:35:58[Saint]Ohhhh fuck off. That's not it and you know it.
15:36:03[Saint]DOn;t throw your toys dude.
15:37:18copperwhat if some themes use the "bugged behavior"
15:37:19copperthen what
15:37:33copperI had to fix my own themes the last times
15:38:27[Saint]I'm sure there's a way to allow this to behave as originally intended, *and* consume the entire line.
15:38:27copperand now my own themes are broken on Rockbox 3.13
15:38:32[Saint]It doesn;t need to be either or.
15:38:42copperdo you even know the original intent?
15:38:58[Saint]It was only supposed to affect the text.
15:39:06copperexcept it didn't
15:39:29copperit affected text and all the space to the right of it, until the end of the viewport line
15:40:27copperand, again, the default behavior without %Vs(invert) is to paint the entire line, including around the text, with the background color
15:40:44copperwhy would %Vs(invert) only work on the text then
15:40:49copperwoudln't make any sense
15:41:08[Saint]My understanding of the intended behavior was that it was only supposed to affect the text until it hit another tag, so you could do weird shit with several foreground/background colors on a single line.
15:44:30[Saint]IFF that was the intent, and anyone's using it, they're now rather unhappy.
15:45:10***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
15:46:04[Saint]And, don;t get me wrong, I understand that would be a kick in the ass for you - but I'm sure there's a way this could work for everyone.
15:46:56copperI've done my share of working around bugs when there was no-one to fix them
15:47:15copper(while reporting them on flyspray)
15:48:55[Saint]I'll reserve complete judgement for the moment its actually confirmed or denied as a bug or intended behavior.
15:51:13copperamayer: I meant, you can set the "Battery Display" setting in the Theme Settings to "numerical"
15:51:19copperif that wasn't clear
15:51:32[Saint]Playing Devil's advocate is some tough work... :/
15:52:46copperI don't know why you're so resistant all of the sudden
15:53:32[Saint]I don't know why you can't see that I would like it confirmed that this isn;t wiping out intended behavior.
15:53:50[Saint]Its easier for me as I don;t have a personal stake in this, I can see the other side.
15:54:14[Saint]Do I want you issue fixed? Yes. Do I want it to undo intended behavior? No.
15:54:33 Join rela [0] (~x@pdpc/supporter/active/rela)
15:54:39[Saint]Its nothing personal.
15:54:58copperbecause 1) it's obviously broken, and 2) I really don't want to have to wait for others to check it out, because that could take a _long_ time
15:55:13copperalso, I take exception to the "To fit a single case, no less." bit
15:55:25[Saint]Good.
15:55:28[Saint]You can do that.
15:55:38copperwhen kugel fixed it, I checked out the other cases that I was NOT using, to make sure it was working coherently

16:06:17copperI can see how acting only on the text (and not the space around it on the same line, to each end of the viewport) would be desirable
16:06:41copperbut then you would need to fix the default behavior and only draw the background color on the text
16:06:49copperand make the rest of the line transparent
16:07:06copperwhich will also likely break some themes
16:08:36copperwhatever is decided, it needs to be coherent
16:09:11[Saint]I certainly agree there.

18:48:32copperamayer: I fixed the colors, now you should be able to use Basta-Blue.cfg, set the battery display to "numeric", and have something that looks a lot like Googley-Blue

18:48:55copperhttp://caudec.net/rockbox/Basta.png/
18:49:06copperaaaand, my work is done.
18:49:54copperyou'll also note that all colors are RGB 565 compliant, as opposed to the Googley themes that used RGB 888 backdrops, which ended up dithered by Rockbox
18:50:18coppernot that it should make a huge difference visually on the device itself, but it's, like, erm, cleaner :P
18:51:02copperit's also more functional than Googley

19:50:08amayercopper: what does it do differently then googley? I see somethings are in different spots, and Icons are turned off.
19:51:23copperother than what you can see on the screenshots, the big difference is that it doesn't use backdrop or images for the status bar
19:51:44copperand the colors of the status bar can be changed in the Theme Settings → Colors menu
19:51:50copperwith the Rockbox color picker
19:52:13copperwhile you were limited with Googley to the colors that I chose myself, you can now use whatever colors you like
19:52:41 Quit Misanthropos (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
19:53:25copperit's something that I've wanted to do for a while, but couldn't figure out
19:53:51amayerI like the googley status bar a little better. the white bars and the HD indicator
19:54:04coppereh
19:54:08amayerbut changes colors is a super cool feature
19:54:30copperthe googley status bar was wasting useful real estate, IMO
19:55:02copperthe other difference is that Basta is set for 14pt fonts only, contrary to Googley which can handle 14pt and 19pt
19:55:34copperwith Googley I was trying to please people who need a larger font, but with this kind of layout, there's not enough space for a larger font
19:55:37copper(IMO)
19:57:19copperI have other themes available for people who need a larger font
19:57:22amayercopper: you do continue to amaze me with your themes tho :)

19:58:18amayerafter you stared makeing themes I stopped because I just ended up using yours anyway. and ive been super busy with paying side projects... I wish I could devote more time to rockbox.
19:58:38kugelcopper: what happened?
19:58:48copperkugel: ?
19:58:59kugelyou said you dont need Vs
19:59:23copperyeah I figured out that not only did I not needed, I shouldn't use it in this particular case
19:59:28copperneed it*
19:59:32kugelwhy?
19:59:55copperbecause I thought I was stuck with the user settable white background color
20:00
20:00:08copperso I used fg to set the color of the status bar
20:00:33copperthen I figured out that I could have a big white viewport beneath everything else
20:00:53copperto "lock" the white background no matter what the user settable bg color is set to
20:01:15kugelthe color is now used only for the top bar?
20:01:21copperyup
20:01:26coppereverything else is forced
20:02:12amayercopper: what does statusbar_border do? and is it a transparent bitmap?
20:02:20copperyeah, 30% black
20:02:38copperto produce the same effect that was "hardcoded" into the backdrops in Googley
20:02:51amayero.O I didnt know you could have a transparent bitmap
20:03:00copperyeah [Saint] told me about it a while ago

20:05:52copperblack takes the fg color, white takes the bg color
20:06:26copperamayer: btw, there's still the "Status Bar" theme setting trick for changing the last metadata line in the WPS
20:06:50amayercool :)
20:06:55coppercodec with Status Bar Off, next track with Status Bar Top, alternating line with Status Bar Bottom
20:07:26copperand the first two also alternate when pressing pause
20:08:01amayerI might modify this a little just to get the color changing functionality but for my personal tasted the extra info in the status bar and playing bar are a little overkill

20:19:54copperabout the icons, I figured that they never helped me visually to access items faster
20:20:30copperI actually dislike them now
20:20:56amayerI dont use them often but I have some bands that have a mix of folders and music in the same folder. and I make alot of bookmarks for podcasts... so i use them on occasion
20:21:15kugelcopper: you can still provide them. there's a setting to disable icons
20:21:21amayerdid you totally take them out of the theme?
20:22:42copperkugel: I'm actually using an "empty" icon file in order to add a slight margin to the left of the menu
20:23:06copperI need it so that the selection includes that margin
20:23:46copperwithout that trick, it wouldn't look as good
20:24:00kugelthere is a margin automatically due to the scrollbar
20:25:42copperthe scrollbar is set to the right in my themes

20:28:54kugeloh
20:29:09kugeli dislike no icons
20:29:18kugelbut that's my personal opinion of course
20:33:44copperdesign requires choices
20:34:41copperand last time I tried to accomodate everyone, I nearly went nuts :P
20:35:28copperthe thing being, that everyone has their own pet peeve, but it's never the same one
20:35:49copperone guy wants a big font, another wants next track info, another wants icons, etc
20:36:00[Saint]Why not shift the menu with a ui viewport instead?
20:36:14copper[Saint]: I don't know what you mean?
20:36:27[Saint]Instead of transparent icons.
20:36:45coppercan you translate that in theme markup?
20:37:05[Saint]Not on my phone at 6am ;)
20:37:19copperI use %Vi() for the menu
20:37:48coppershifting it will also shift the current selection in the menu
20:39:32copperI don't know how I can specify a margin within the UI viewport
20:39:55kugelyea, you can't
20:40:50[Saint]Ah, right. I see. Hmmm.
20:41:14[Saint]I had to solve this by using my own custom build, sadly. As I think losing icons is a huge usability issue.
20:41:44[Saint]I just used magic to append a single space to the start of every list item string.
20:42:12[Saint]But that had the huge disadvantage of only working for *that one theme*, on *that one build*. :)
20:44:04coppermeh

20:45:54[Saint]If you use the file browser, then you're pretty much fucked for telling whats a folder and whats a file.
20:45:56kugelcan't tell the difference between folders and files
20:46:17copperthen show the extension, or fix your directory tree
20:46:48copperI don't really want to picture what kind of awful directory structure would be a problem with that
20:46:55kugel"you need to fix your files to use this theme"?
20:47:03[Saint]Nice attitude.
20:48:03coppermy attitude is to make choices
20:48:20kugelperhaps you can have a theme variant with icons
20:48:46copperand I have zero problems navigating my collection
20:48:59copperI don't have random directories everywhere
20:49:10copperand showing file extensions is an easy fix
20:49:27copperdon't you show file extensions on your PC?
20:50:20[Saint]Its OK to say "I don't care, this is for my sole use case". That's fine.
20:50:36copperI do care
20:51:08copperbut I don't see how showing file extensions is such a horrible workaround
20:51:35copperthough I guess you might not see it immediately with long filenames
20:52:25amayerim guessing there isnt a way to force "if icons are on use this icon set and if icons are off use this blank icon set"?
20:52:33[Saint]with a ~18pt font it doesn't even need to be that long.
20:52:54[Saint]amayer: nope. the clue is on the question.

20:57:19[Saint]Well, icons are still techincally "on", just...there's nothing to display.
