devo 12 wide screen...

Yes I pulled his repo. It adds the backend support for wide-screen, but the pages are all still 320x240. I thought you had some further upgrades to improve several of the pages. I expect to start working on the Devo12 interface soon, so pleases make any work you've done on the widescreen available to save me some work.

There is no rush. Getting the Devo12 interface complete is one of the main tasks before 3.1 (along with the PPMin stuff). So it is one of my main development tasks. But I'm still somewhat limited in time, and there are other tasks I'm working on as well.

I don't know what you mean by 'force a merge'
if you do a 'hg pull -u' then 'hg merge' it will try to merge all changes. Depending on the amount of changes it may or may not succeed.

Sorry I haven't been following too closely. Which repo should I pull to test out your changes?

A question:
Do the resolutions differ on the DEVO 8 and 12?
i.e is the current 320*240 portion of the DEVO 12's display smaller, larger or equal to the size of the DEVO 8's display?

If the 12 has a higher resolution, then it probably would make sense to use larger widgets and fonts on it, not just more...

The dots per inch is the same though (if not it's so close you can't really see it) so the widgets and icons are the same size as on the devo8. So what you are saying is that they are too small on the devo8 (which they had to be to fit) and you want the same interface only bigger. (?)

If the widgets look the same size, than it's all right.
I just worried that if they become too small, then we should use larger widgets and fonts to be usable, because even on the DEVO 8 they are quite small already (smaller then the original).

Rbe,
I took a look at your new configuration screen. I think it is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure of the actual interface as it is. Has anyone tried it on a real Tx? I found it confusing as to what would happen if I actually clicked on any of the boxes (i.e.e to m at least the change was not intuitive). But I'm not sure if it is just me, or if some minor changes would resolve the confusion, or if it is fundamentally wrong.

I originally designed the ini file with the expectation that each gui would have completely different widgets (thus the 'qvga' in the section name). It turned out that we could get basically the same layout with the Devo10 so I didn't need it. I don't want to limit the Devo12, so I'm certainly game for adding additional widgets. I'd like the models to be as compatible as possible (i.e make sure the mixers transfer and fall back to a default gui when transitioning between the 8/10 and 12) but realistically moving from a 12 back to an 8/10 is likely a losing proposition as going from 3-way to 2-way switches means you'll probably need to redo the whole thing anyway.

I've considered versioning the ini files. so far I've resisted as I've been trying to keep the models compatible. However, I certainly failed with 3.0 (and there'll be yet another incompatibility with 3.1) so maybe it is a good time to do so (I'm not quite so sure about the tx.ini file...It may be that resetting tx.ini is just required for each release...Otherwise I'll need to keep around a lot of code purely used for upgrading, which I don't like.

And Hex,
I'm going to wait on your changes until I decide how to proceed with Rbe's stuff. I'd like to make full use of the scren capabilities on the Devo12. Your changes look nice, but it would be a waste to import them if I end up completely replacing the screen.
