Test of the new menu system

Thanks, should be fixed now in bothe master and 5.0 branch

By the way, I'm aware the quickpages are still broken on the 320x240 pages. I'm working on it.

Go into the model select list. Probably the first model is selected.
Start to scroll down.
As the first row disappears upwards, the selection changes to model2, model3, etc.
If you scroll back, the selection remains on the one which was on the top of the list.

All the model selection, icon selection, model save as, and probably the template selection does that in both directions. (I haven't got enough templates to check...)

Yes, this is what I decided on. the selection will stay with what you had unless it no longer is on the screen. the original selection is lost as soon as it scrolls off screen. So it is not a bug. if you don't like it we can discuss alternatives.

Well, that's not listbox-like at all, and I don't really like it.
I see that you can leave the page with exit without actually approving the selection, but it's still frightening...

I don't see why 'frightening' is the right word. It shuld behave exactly the same way it always has. even in 4.01 if you scrolled the listbox, the selection would move to stay at the top. as you scrolled back, it would move to the bottom and then move up one at a time. This should not be any different.

You are right, it was this way forever indeed.
This shows how few models I have and how rearly I fly, so I didn't realized so far...

I used the term frightening, because IMO in general a scrolling shouldn't change anything, so it would be frightening for someone who doesn't aware such change can happen. But you know my english is not that polished anyway...

It's fixed on the telemtest page, but not on the main page. I selected FrskyX, then bind, then put RSSI in box2 and set a limit of 100 in telemetry config. On the main page the value disappears when the limit is exceeded.

should be fixed there now too

I've beet trying to find solution to the quickpage issue and haven't come up with one I like. Originally, the devo8 used left/right for the quickpage keys. This was ok, because there was no assumption of needing to use the buttons to navigate. Now, there is an assumption that it is easy to navigate using exclusively buttons, so left/right doesn't work well.

The Devo10 uses long-press up/down. This is an option for the devo8 as well, though it is less convenient to use. The downside is that on the AT9, you cannot use long/press on the arrow keys. I could remap the controls on the at9 such that (currently unused) mode button would let you cycle through quick-pages (but only in one directiion). This would probably be ok, except that it would break the ability to use the main-layout page as a quick-page (since I already have plans for the mode button there). Even still, this is probably my preferred solution.

I could also keep the left/right quickpage buttons on the devo8, and start with no selection when in quickpage mode (for instance until up/down is pressed), but this adds a lot of complication to saving/restoring the selection during menu mode, so I don't love that option either.

Are you talking about this thread?

to be clear, I am not opening up huge amounts of development. I just finished a massive reorganization of the code and menuing system, and I'm now about done. I do not have any interest in yet another massive code rework in this area If someone else wants to attempt it, I may be amenable, but honestly using sticks to control the menus seems pretty risky to me.

Now, auto-repeat doesn't work by holding down arrow buttons. If you've 30 models, you'll need to press the Down button 30 times to go from top to bottom. It's really tedious. BTW, the same thing happens on a real 7e.

As of version c07562 (current nightly) fast scrolling is supported in all menus. I am not 100% confident that there are no side effects, so please let me know if you see any.

I've started to work on the new menu system to better its look on the color screens.

This is how it looks now:


It is much better if I enlarge and center the button:


But I think we should get rid of the button face all together:


It is the same button, just the bitmap of it is fully transparent.
I would be happy if I could left align the text, like it is on the B&W screens, but the button widget doesn't allow that.

What do you think, which looks better?
