new multi-color WPS check it out! - Page 2

Eli, the spin animation is very impressive, but what I reckon would look cooler is if all the segments of the spin animation are always visible but coloured, say, red? Then it does the same blue spin around a red circle?
Do you understand? I think that would look pretty funky

**musichound** · #42 (**permalink**) January 20th, 2006, 07:23 PM

Besides that I think what would look real cool is if the spinner would stop when the music is paused. Otherwise, this is a very fine and unique WPS.

are we supposed to see the gray part, when the blue one spins around? i cant see the grey part in the screenie in the first post. And also the volume indicator is crossing over the line in the top part. Ah and also the colour of the volume icon is different from the one in the first post. check screenie please.

Yeah I don't get the grey bits either, and the BMPs in the bar up the top get cut off.

Just find the code for that line and add a few pixels to the Y value.

no...go into the root of your player then to .rockbox folder then to the wps folder....place in there (but, if you have the newest build, then this wps should be in there)

wow i finally got it working. great work and ty everyone for putting up with all my questions.
Now i just need to figure out what font to use

mrpringle · #51 (**permalink**) January 21st, 2006, 03:34 PM

How about background gradients?

DD · #52 (**permalink**) January 21st, 2006, 03:38 PM

Not possible. At the moment the colour wps patch only supports 2-colour bitmaps, for which you specify the colours for each. To get gradients you would have to have one bitmap for each pixel/step of the gradient which would take a hell of a lot of time, and probably not line up properly at the end of it; plus theres some 52 image limit.

I really didn't make that clear did I!? Can someone else explain it better?

mrpringle · #53 (**permalink**) January 21st, 2006, 03:42 PM

I get it, is it possible the colour patch will support gradients in the future?

Hitboy · #54 (**permalink**) January 21st, 2006, 03:42 PM

Why is it that almost nobody seems to have noticed a great patch was added to the tracker very recently : Color BMP support... It's not very advanced yet but it's already huge progress !! We should all be thanking Linus and starting to play with this new feature right now...

I am already playing with this feature.

DD · #56 (**permalink**) January 21st, 2006, 03:49 PM

All these variations of pauljam! Too many to choose from

!

Wow. That Colour Bitmap Support patch... am I reading it right? 24-bit bitmaps? Quite a big jump from the old 1-bit ones

. Can anyone elaborate/enlighten us further? (I'm just off to bed so I have no time to try the patch now)

Hitboy · #57 (**permalink**) January 21st, 2006, 04:42 PM

Paul, you rock !!

It is indeed 24-bit support. The old 1-bit BMPs still work and ATM it's only these two : no 16 or 32 bit yet...
Also there isn't any transparency possible yet.

i finally got elis sherers to work cuase i downloaded his folders-i thought they were part of the optomized builed/- but the paul jams dont work theyre black and white
help please

celluloid.dreams · #59 (**permalink**) January 21st, 2006, 07:01 PM

The new Pauljam doesn't work yet because Needleboy hasn't put the new 24-bit patch in his build due to instability.

Also the original pauljam's included in the Optimised Build are black and white, you need to edit the RGB ( 255, 255, 255) in the e.g PaulJam2.2.wps file within -

ROOT > .Rockbox > wps

when you have a TV on in the dark and the screen is black on the TV there is still light.

i belive its the same way from the LCD on the h300

DD · #61 (**permalink**) January 22nd, 2006, 04:14 AM

Its partly the backlight on the LCD that uses a lot of power (and gives out the light). How stable is the 24bit patch? I may have to have a little play around with it later

.

needleboy · #62 (**permalink**) January 22nd, 2006, 07:26 AM

the 24bit BMP patch is stable, but useless, as it doesn't support transarency yet...

DD · #63 (**permalink**) January 22nd, 2006, 07:31 AM

At least its a start and we know something is being worked on.
