Observations noted. Thanks guys.

Now I'm at mixer and while I have a picture in my head, I'm also trying to migrate the thing to GUI_Scrollable (which is smart btw) and my head is spinning already hehe. Need to read some more code to fully understand all those callbacks.

I should really try to document the API (maybe via doxygen or something). Especially for the GUI, which is rather complicated with all its callbacks.

The scrollable is a really powerful widget, but you need to take special care that the getobj_cb understands what is going on., otherwsie scrolling will not be intuitive.

If you have any questions on how it works, let me know.

I was thinking about changing the TxPower and battery to use the micro font on the devo10/7e. The font allows these strings to take a lot less space. I need to hard-code the font used for these widgets though, so a change is something that I'd like some opinion on.
Here is what the font looks like (note the placement of the widgets is now user editable)

I agree. I like the second image. And if it saves space as well...then it's a win win.

Ok so I got the mixer mostly working and on GUI_Scrollable. What I still don't get, yet, is how to save the current selected position between main mixer page, limit page and mixer edit page.

I just installed the 28/12 Night Build for my 7E and TX voltage and emmission power disspeared from main screen. Is-it normal ?

Probably you need to add them back.

Oh, and please don't turn this topic into a bug report.

Correct, you need to add them to the mains screen config as you would do with all you other mains screen items

Guys, please I'd appreciate if you don't turn this thread into a mess. Bug reports on bitbucket, etc.

Normally you would do:
GUI_SetSelected(GUI_ShowScrollableRowOffset(&gui->scrollable, current_selected));
to restore the position and use:
current_selected = GUI_ScrollableGetObjRowOffset(&gui->scrollable, GUI_GetSelected());
to save position.
We only currently save the position on the main mixer page. The limit and editor pages always reset.

However, I never converted the mixer page to use Scrollabele. If I recall it is because the Scrollable was too buggy when I tried it the 1st time, and I had difficulty getting the scrolling to work in a predictable way. These days I'd expect it to be pretty easy to convert.
If you look at the trim_page code, you'll see how we do this.

Got it working thanks, needed to hook PAGE_MixerExit too.

But, to save position when entering limit and template callbacks I had to call the same code. Is this the right way? MIXER_PageExit doesn't seem to get called when the callback fires.

Or above when saying the limit and editor page always reset did you meant I should save main mixer page position when entering those pages?

yes you need to manually save the position (calling PageExit is probably a fine way to do so) when entering the limit or edit pages since it won' get called for you.

Ok, so I think I have everything working except the standard mixer. Since it's almost 12AM I will leave it for tomorrow. I still need to brush over the telemetry monitor page but it's kinda complex and will need some effort to understand.

Now I need to:

1. Decide how to enable this
- simple config.ini switch
- from font definition (this is tricky cause we have all sorts of fonts)
2. Get rid of all the #defines
3. Define some bounds, like all fonts must be larger than 6 pixels and smaller than some value.

Anyway, I haven't given this much thought but I will play with it tomorrow and see what the options are.

Some more pix:

It is looking good. Before going too far down the integration path, I'd like to see what you have.
I definitely do not want a bunch of 'if' conditions all over the code. Ideally we can set it up so that a few variables are changed that affect the layout positioning, but I really need to see how your code works to have any idea about that.

Haven't got that far yet, will tackle that tomorrow. All the code is still using #defines atm, I just went through and tried to make sense of it and fix assumptions.

To be honest I'm certain your scrollable widget will make this job fairly easy. We just need to have 2 regions:

1. Header
2. Content handled by scrollable.
3. Row and Size callbacks.

Obviously not that easy but you get the idea.

FYI, to get longer strings without modifying the code, there is a trick you can use. You can create an 'English' translation that translates the short strings into longer ones. where necessary. You only need to modify the strings you like, as all the rest will default to the current short strings. This won't work on the Devo7e though.

Yes I know, and I'll have a language file prepared just for that :)

What place would be appropriate for defining global object containing fonts metrics and other UI info? gui.c & h? I'm thinking along the lines of determining on startup fonts characteristics and optimal spacing then saving those in struct and using it all over the place.
