GUI

I didn't hook up all the widgets, and not everything is fully configurable yet, but the main page now more closely resembles your example. Because I changed the background image, all the other pages now need to be modified to look ok.

Things you can do:
specify custom icons for each model
Specify the color and outline of the text boxes as well as if they are filled or transparent
specify whether the battery icon or text is shown

Thanks, I will do the shuffleboard part!

Can I make the header a bit coarser? The buttons can't fit on this small...
Also that model name font is while fancy enough, but it is hard to read.

I have some bug with the model picture on the main sreen too:

Of course. I just wanted to getthe pieces in place so you could move them around as you like.

Yes, that font was just a surragate, and is actually completely useless (nearly unreadable on the actual Devo8). I will probably just delete it. My expectation is that we want a 20pt font there, but I don't have one right now.

I have some bug with the model picture on the main sreen too:

that is weird. is it with the bmps I placed or with your own?
Can you verify that you can open the heli.bmp and plane.bmp bitmaps directly? I'm trying to figure out if the bug is in theparser or the bmps themselves. Also, you can try making your own. Theyare just 96x96 16bit bmps (same as everything else). Currently, they are the ones I copied from the Devo Lib as placeholders.

Yes this is the default bmp, and I can open it in PS, and there it looks good.

I fixed the bmp. I was opening it in 'text' mode which works fine in linux but not in windows. that specific bmp just happens to have a color that triggers the issue.

Thanks, it's good now...

However I have a crash: if I go to the mixer page end change the channel to "Expo & D/R" type, the emulator craches and closes.

This was an uninitizlized value. It worked fine in linux, but not windows. Anyhow, it is fixed now.

Thanks, you can go to sleep now!

You haven't slept too much!

No probably not enough

Compile error:

...probably forgot to checkin or push something...

better now.

Yep.

Found a small bug(?) while clicking like a crazy:



If you change a swith to something, then reverse it by clicking into, and then change back to "None", then the buttons stay...

Shuffleboard complete...


EDIT: + changed title text and it's color

Looks nice. I merged your changes. I also added code to show the icon of the model selected in load/save. Makes the screen look a little nicer, though probably providing virtually no value

I've made some mistake: the lower two boxes on the main page are no longer in boxes, but I can't see anything...

...and I have already realigned!

Something is fishy in the ini parser...
I saw strange thing before too, but then I couldn't replicate, but now I can:
The timer boxes appeared if I pulled the font-timer section in the config.ini upper. If I put it before the throttle section, then the throttle boxes go wrong. If I have uppered more, everything seems allright...

I've made some room for you on the chantest_page above and under the bars to display the channel number and the channel value...

And would you shorten the battery level text? IMO 2 decimals would be more than enough...

ini parser should be fixed. There is a really hairy piece of code in there to support the devo file i/o and getting it right in all cases is quite tricky, there may still be other bugs like this lurking.

I also merged your latest changes and fixed the voltage. And added the tx-power icon (it should even work properly as youchange the power)
