why dont u use PIL to edit the lpmc image dynamically and add the required info to it?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] System Info and date on standby screen - MOD - ls-magic
 

umm, because it may look like anything? I don't feel comfortable with pil anyways. I'm rewriting in C++/Qt -> QPainter

Well, it seems that your apps will pop up later (over a pic of LPM Customizer), but it takes awhile ... maybe because of low priority of your apps ... anyway, you have done great work - it seems that power consumption of your apps is VERY LOW - it is really great ... yes, I prefer your apps over any pic on my standby screen now ... thanks for your great work and sorry that I was meshing up with your apps on the beginning ...

Btw, you should consider to have a space between all icons and characters - I feel that the first characters after each icon would be more clear on that way ... and also the load numbers are too close each other ...

Further: did you update your deb ? ... if not, you should add installation instruction what was instructed by "wolke" (add first Python-gconf through terminal by "apt-get install python-gconf") ...

im gonna spread out my image, but have the same amount of white.

as long as the same number of pixels are fired up, power usage should be precisely the same, right? i.e.: there arent pixels that are more expensive than others, and no advantage to having contiguous-pixels lit up as opposed to spread-out-pixels.

Nice work! I was wondering if it would be possible to add next active alarm time as one of the things shown?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] System Info and date on standby screen - MOD - ls-magic
 

You could create a wiki page somewhere to ask for info to be available. The infos i plan for right now are:
- the ones displayed now
- ip on any interface
- power consumption

Next version will be fully configurable via configfile, and maybe next one scriptable via js (i'll export QPainter and some other utility functions). That means you will be able to fully customize your lps image.

Next version will also consume less CPU & RAM because it's in C++.

If you are excited and want me to code like a valkyrie on acid (?!) donate and support my need of red-bull and/or beer

PS I've updated deb to 1.1, no more dependency problems-> install, reboot and wait.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] System Info and date on standby screen - MOD - ls-magic
 

Next version will consume even less, and should start up faster(python is really slow to load with that niceness)
Yes, that's a issue i've been looking at..
Done

@wolke be careful, modifying an executable in aegis normal mode will trigger malf. I've learnt it the hard way.
Will put sources on github asap.
@slarti
If there is a way to get it in a non expensive way yes.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] System Info and date on standby screen - MOD - ls-magic
 

Wolke, yes, you are right, same amount of pixels turned on = same power consumption, so spreading out is a good way to have a bigger image with same low power consumption.

I think you also need to do:
