00:01:42*pamaury goes to bed
00:01:47CH23wait just a b it
00:02:18CH23can i edit a theme to show the rds data we can now pull, or does other stuff still need to happen?
00:05:55 Quit pamaury (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
00:06:16[Saint]CH23: You can.
00:06:39CH23time to figure out how to add this
00:06:45[Saint]If you were "doing it right(TM)" you'd just check to see if the data was available first anyway.
00:07:07[Saint]That's one of the core reasons as to why we have conditional asset checks.
00:07:38CH23the RDS data is now available using the patch Pamaury made earlier
00:07:41[Saint]%?tx<we have RDS, do RDS stuff|we don't, don't>
00:07:47[Saint]yes, I'm aware.
00:07:50CH23oh like so
00:07:57[Saint]it doesn't change anything from theme perspective.
00:08:51CH23i couldn't find a page showing what exactly anything means in the themes, so i'd have to do a lot of guessing
00:09:10[Saint]this is detailed very clearly in both the manual and the wiki.
00:09:30[Saint]If you need any support with themes in general, give me a yell.

00:09:55[Saint]ah, fuck, sorry.
00:10:41[Saint](Incidentally, that's what a RTL/LTR failover-safe time/volume/battery display looks like :))
00:12:46[Saint]CH23: "best practice (TM)" is to always throw a check for everything instead of assuming it exists. Most target resolutions are shared between two or more devices with possible differing hardware, so even if you know an asset is going to be present on your target the best practice is to test for it anyway.

01:50:50CH23if i read the documentation correctly, '%?tx' checks if RDS is available, '%V(x,x,x,x,x)' tells where on the screen the data must be shown, and with what font, then '<%ty - %tz>' should show rds name and rds text

02:39:28[Saint]excellent, thank you.
02:42:18[Saint]Heh, the Tango! icon set really loses a lot of visual information at 6x8px
02:42:34__builtinhmm, git makes it really hard to track history across renames
02:44:52[Saint]Man 'Roboto' is a nice font.

03:15:33[Saint]OK. I now have a *very* basic .sbs that works across arbitrary resolutions.
03:16:16[Saint]it's perfectly functional on everything from 320x240 to 4K
03:16:47__builtindo you happen to know the origin of the little faded-out text on the corner of our logo?
03:17:23__builtinjust out of curiosity
03:20:48[Saint]I think it's just there "to look cool", from memory.
03:22:03[Saint]If you're wondering what it says, from memory it's <something>, 6034MB,customize. mp3playlistrandom
03:22:31__builtinyeah, I have the SVG version zoomed in right now
03:22:47[Saint]If I remember correctly, and this is going back about 15 years now, it was someone's terminal output at the time.
03:24:13[Saint]__builtin: what do you think is the "smart" thing to do when we can't detect (which is unlikely) the battery level/voltage and/or volume in decibels?
03:24:24[Saint]At this point I'm leaning towards "do nothing".
03:24:34[Saint]"?" or "unknown" looks messy.
03:24:48[Saint]At this stage I'm just displaying nothing and concatenating the empty space.
03:25:11__builtinnothing seems better to me
03:25:24__builtinis there an icon near it?
03:25:33[Saint]No, it's just text.
03:26:12__builtinyeah, definitely just leave it blank then
03:26:14[Saint]I can't figure out how to send fake readins to the SDL app.
03:26:57[Saint]I guess I'll switch to the simulator, as that fakes charging and a charge/discharge cycle.
03:27:56[Saint]the only thing I need to do now is make it so that the theme tries to match assets and text from the current userfont.
03:28:06[Saint]simple, is the word of the day.
03:28:34[Saint]If I only do one more thing for this project I'm going to drag the user interface out of 1999.
03:40:19 Join CH23 [0] (4dfa0218@gateway/web/freenode/ip.77.250.2.24)
03:41:01CH23[Saint]: i read your message in the log; i don't understand how i'm that bad at this
03:42:54[Saint]CH23: You'd want to do something like:
03:42:54[Saint]%V(x,y,width,height,font_id)
03:42:54[Saint]%?tx<%ty - %tz>
03:43:14CH23not in a single line?
03:43:20[Saint]No.
03:43:23CH23oh lol
03:43:48[Saint]use - for fint_id if you just want to use the current userfont.
03:44:05[Saint]I doubt whatever theme you're using had 4 additional userfonts loaded.
03:44:12[Saint]I mean, it's possible, but I doubt it.
03:45:01CH23'balanced' for clip+ defines 3 fonts
03:45:33[Saint]0 and 1 are always defined, you can't have those.
03:45:57[Saint]0 is the systemfont, 1 is the userfont, and 2~99 are theme loaded userfonts.
03:46:17CH233,6,7
03:47:09[Saint]Just to make it absolutely clear, your RDS display code only has the 'true' bracket of the variable set.
03:47:29[Saint]So it will only ever display when the target has RDS, not sure if you wanted this or not.
03:48:06CH23it's only for myself, but i should make it so that it would still work without; i agree.
03:52:51[Saint]The values you have displaying there are fine, but I'd do it a little differently. Like so:
03:52:51[Saint]%?tx<%?ty<%?ty<%?tz<- %tz>|%?tz<%tz>>>
03:53:12[Saint]That'll make sure that if either value is missing it won't leave a blank space.
03:53:22[Saint]and if both are missing it won't display anything.
03:54:53 Quit prof_wolfff (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)
03:55:24[Saint]Oh. I could do that better...hmmm.
03:55:24[Saint]%?tx<%?ty<%?tz<%ty - %tz>|%?tz<%tz>>>
03:56:31[Saint]If we can do RDS, check for ty, if ty is present, check for tz, if both are true, display both, if ty isn't true, check for tz, if tz isn't true, do nothing.
03:57:07[Saint]that'll make it so you don't end up with a viewport with just "-" in it if the target is RDS capable but can't get any data.
03:57:23[Saint](which can certainly happen)
03:57:48[Saint]CH23: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CustomWPS
03:58:04[Saint]This is where yu'll find all the goodies.
04:00
04:01:18CH23thanks, it's a lot of info, will take some time for sure :P
04:03:50[Saint]basically, you have two pieces of data you want to display, both of which depend on a single variable.
04:03:50[Saint]If that variable "do we have RDS?" isn't true, we don't want to do anything.
04:03:50[Saint]If that variable is true, we want to display the two other pieces of data.
04:03:50DBUGEnqueued KICK [Saint]
04:03:50[Saint]If both of them are available, we display both.
04:03:50[Saint]If a check for one fails, we'll check for the other and if that fails, we'll do nothing.
04:05:57CH23it fails completely
04:06:19CH23using :
04:06:21CH23%V(8,25,-,8,6)
04:06:31CH23%?tx<%?ty<%?tz<%ty - %tz>|%?tz<%tz>>>
04:09:07[Saint]Hum, I've got to run but I'll think about it a little more while I'm out. I've probably overthunk myself for the day.
04:09:07[Saint]Just try it without the conditional failover for now:
04:09:07[Saint]%?tx<%?ty<%ty> %?tx<%tx>>
04:09:44[Saint]or if that falls over the really simple version:
04:09:44[Saint]%?tx<%ty - %tz>

09:25:26coppercan't remember what the reason was
09:25:30[Saint]I also noticed that you did find a way to evaluate if we have enough room to display a given string too.

09:26:22*[Saint] is shamelessly ripping off the Material Design language.
09:26:47copperI did?
09:27:07[Saint]I was looking for FOSS media icons, and I found a site that allows arbitrary colouration and resizing of the material design assets.
09:27:10[Saint]yep, sec.
09:28:04[Saint]Oh, fuck...hmmm. Nope. Not quite what I wanted...
09:28:29[Saint]It's evaulation of string length, but I guess that's not entirely useless if you know the glyph width.
09:28:45copperif your font is monospace
09:28:58[Saint]monospace is best space.

10:10:36CH23yeah indeed
10:10:58CH23still, i plan to replace the screen with a single colour one
10:11:37[Saint]That'll be a lot of work in software and hardware.
10:12:26[Saint]The original firmware would be out of the question. But Rockbox could handle it without too much issue.
10:13:32[Saint]unless by some miracle there's an OLED with the same form factor using the same LCD controller and the same resolution.
10:13:44CH23not miracle

10:14:09[Saint]I was unaware.

10:15:18CH23the only difficulty is the ribbon cable
10:15:37[Saint]Well, yeah, but there's a lot more to a given OLED/LCD than just matching the size and resolution.
10:15:37[Saint]Software needs to know how to talk to it too. It might have an embedded controller, it might not, etc.

10:22:31CH23i posted a link about 8 minutes ago with similar screens
10:22:33[Saint]At the very least I'd expect you'd need to discard the magic we have going on there to accomadate for the missing 2px strip in the original OLED.

10:23:02CH23yeah but log :P
10:23:42CH23the software actually has to take into account the 2 strips? so they are actual LEDS?

10:24:39[Saint]CH23: it needs to take into account the _lack of them_, because no other target in our range does that, so there's specific magic going on there.
10:25:22CH23i expected the device to just see it as a 128x64 screen
10:25:27CH23interesting
10:27:08[Saint]From memory, it's more like two distinct OLED displays, but I may well be misremembering this.
10:28:13pamaury[Saint]: the clip+ has two variants on the LCD indeed
10:28:41[Saint]Woo! I remembered something!
10:29:08CH23so technically i have a dual screen DAP. neat.
10:31:17pamauryIt's extremely common for players to have two or more LCD variants.
10:31:58CH23sure, due to different manufacturers, or parts availability
10:33:19[Saint]it's pretty common for any given DAP to have 2 or more different versions of everything, really.
10:33:28[Saint]they seem to get "binned" quite a lot.
10:39:29pamauryanyway, if you want to swap the LCD of the clip+ you need an LCD that: 1) has the same form factor and 2) has a compatible pinout. Also be careful about backlight. Then obviously you will need to write a driver for it.

11:52:22[Saint]copper: did you ever fuck around with touchscreen much?
11:52:39[Saint]Like, is it just me, or is there no "back" touch area?
11:53:34[Saint]You _have to_ have the list titles displayed, as that's the only way to go "back" on "touch" targets like SDL that don't have soft buttons or dedicated HW keys.
11:53:47[Saint]Seems I never noticed this before, fuck knows how.
11:54:36[Saint]JdGordon: you've any idea how trivial (or not) that would be to add? I've kinda wedged myself into a corner and I really kinda need it.
11:55:02[Saint]I felt sure that 'prev' worked as a back button, but it seems not.
11:59:57pixelmais this actually something that exists in the way you'd expect it to work on non-touchscreen targets?
12:00
12:01:24*[Saint] has a very hard time parsing that
12:01:30[Saint]sorry pixelma, come again?
12:06:41 Join dandels [0] (~dandels@unaffiliated/dandels)
12:09:45pixelmaI wonderer what do you expect a back button to do (in the various parts of Rockbox)? And is a target with buttons behaving this way? For some reason I thought that there was more than one possibility (maybe I just misunderstood what you wanted though), not so sure now anymory myself the longer I think about it
12:11:32[Saint]pixelma: I'm guessing you don't use touchscreen much or at all?
12:12:02[Saint]With touch targets, the list title is the "back" button, and it's the only possible way you have to exit out of a menu structure.
12:12:13[Saint]...unless you have a physical back button.
12:12:24[Saint](which SDL isn't necessarily going to have)
12:12:47[Saint]So if you want to get fancy with skinned lists, and want to hide %Lt...you're fucked.
12:13:08[Saint]The only touch area definition that's even remotely close just takes you back to the toplevel of the main menu.
12:13:37[Saint]So it's impossible to go "back one" without the list title displayed, because the list title is and always has been a back button for touchscreen.
12:14:13[Saint]To make it even worse, if you display the list title outside of the info viewport, it doesn't function as a back button.
12:16:14pixelmayes, I was thinking in another direction (not sure why anymore. maybe because the brain was also busy with work things) and I also thought that something like a "go to previous screen" touch action existed
12:16:54[Saint](remember that touch targets don't have directional buttons available as touch areas outside of the horrible 9-segment mode for skins that don't declare a touch area)
12:17:37[Saint]So without a list title (which I _really_ don't want!), if you navigate into a menu stracture the only possible way to go "back" is to go back to the toplevel main menu.
12:17:42[Saint]WHich is annoying as hell.
12:20:16copper[Saint]: no touchscreen experience, no
12:20:33[Saint]Yeah, bugger. No worries mate.

12:33:19[Saint]pixelma: yeah, I just checked to make sure I wasn't insane (...at least in this context), and there's no "back" or "previous" touchscreen function whatsoever.
12:33:57[Saint]WHich admittedly does seem odd, because if a theme doesn't declare any touch regions on a touchscreen target...you get that horrible 3x3 grid which /does/ have a back function.

13:00:42[Saint]I found that errant touchscreen area.
13:00:45[Saint]So, woo!
13:01:01[Saint]I figured it had to exist, because the fallback touch navigation uses it.
13:01:27[Saint]Turns out "cancel" == "back/previous".
13:01:38[Saint]I only tried it on a whim, I thought surely based on the name it wouldn't do what I wanted.
13:01:59[Saint]Glad I don't trust my rationalization, or Jonathan's naming schema. :p

13:06:44pixelmaI guess "cancel" isn't that bad of a name choice, IIRC in the keymaps it's called BUTTON_CANCEL too
13:07:05pixelmamaybe I don't RC though
13:07:37[Saint]Huh, no, you're right. I guess in that context it does make some sense.

17:44:38[Saint]I spent the better part of an hour making beautiful AOSP-esque repeat {1|shuffle|a-B} icons, but on the smaller screen devices when it scales the differentiation between 1|shuffle|a-b just scales down to a blurrly blob mess.
17:45:16[Saint]well...there's an hour down the shitter.
17:46:54CH23couldn't there be a different layout for larger and smaller screens, or, at the least, a seperate icon set?
