Did you read the "Help/About" page of Billboard? It clearly says:

Code:

<</path/to/image.png>> for a normal image

<</path/to/image.png#>> for an image with dithering

Btw, you may want to get that keyboard of yours checked ;)

I've just fixed this (will be part of the next Billboard release). The limiting of the size is now only done for images for which dithering has been enabled, and even there, the next version will allow images up to 200x120 (up from 120x120 in the current version).

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Is it possible to control resulting size/resize ratio of an image from the script?

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Thanks. It still a little small for my image :( (28x11). Maybe you can add option in the setting that user can choose the different sizes for image, or better one is a blank fields that user can write the correct size for his image and if user will leave this fields blank it will use your default size max 20x12 ?
Thanks

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

For the next release, Billboard will support Internationalization (the Chinese translation shown here was contributed by a user, I have no clue what it says; feel free to submit updates - see below):

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7286/8...8d9b459518.jpg

If you want to contribute a translation into your language (right now we only have German and Chinese in addition to the default English), please feel free to do so, instructions and the required translation file (en.ts) to get you started are here:

https://github.com/harmattan/billboard-i18n

Instructions can be found in the README file. Basically rename the en.ts file to the ISO 639-1 code of your language and use Qt Lingust (from Qt SDK or from here) to translate the text.

Note that "By submitting the translation you agree to release the translation under the ISC license" - this is so that I can use it in Billboard right now while it's still closed source as well as include all translations in the open source release when it happens at some point in the future. If you are not fine with that, don't submit a translation.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

@thp

Would it be a terrible endeavor to incorporate/make an option for landscape mode for standby screen? Nothing that would need to rotate while standby screen is in effect, but lets say you hit the power button or let it time out to standby while in landscpae, then standby would show in landscape, and the same goes for portrait. Obviously would need to do some rearranging of icons and such so that it would look presentable, but that would be on your end to describe how easy/difficult it would be to do. Just an idea :) Thanks

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

@thp let me know if the pull request sent for the hi.ts file is how its supposed to be. i've never posted on github before this.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

This works great!:

Code:

{script:python /home/user/mybattery.py {battery}}

Also {alarm-present} on the alarm script's line works too:

Code:

{script: /home/user/alarm.sh {alarm-present}}

But i don't know what to put on the bluetooth script's line to refresh it on real time like the battery and the alarm

Code:

{script: /home/user/bluetoothicon.py}
