High contrast BW skin was created by FDR
It's flat, it's ugly, but it has the highest contrast I could make...





You need to extract it into the media directory.

EDIT: corrected for the v3.0.0

Hi FDR,

today I installed the new Emulator 3.0 and want to use your B&W skin. But the Emu crashed while loading. Could you please have a look on it?

Thanks in advance,
Dirk

Have had my Devo8S outside my flat for the first time and had been shocked - nearly unreadable.
So I hopefully swapped to the BW skin. At a first glance - yes, it's better.
But it's far away from a 2801 . . .

Anyway, thanks a lot, You did what You could (under given circumstances).

thx
Gerhard

Yep, that's all I could do.

...and I have yet to make the standard UI icons...

. . . and we are all happy You did . . . !!

BTW : Trimmer markers
They change their colour if out of center (blue / red).
Would it be possible to make them triangle shaped (when not centered) pointing with the tip towards center position (instead of the rectangles)?

The idea is good, but the space is very limited. The bars are very tiny (10 pixels wide) and an arrow would have to be drawn over the lines to be recognizable.
Maybe we could have another indicator to show in which direction the trim is moved; e.g. coloring one tip of the trim the one the trim moves to) as long as the trim is near the center and a center line when the trim has moved further:
original - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - small arrows

small arrows and colored tip - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - wider arrows

Looking at this I think the lower right might work. Will this be better recognizable?

EDIT: Pointing to the center? I think in this case the zero position should be drawn as two triangles pointing to each other, but pointing away from the center seems more natural for me.

Hi !
The lower right one is what I meant. But we discuss a b/w skin version, I think there's no need to give the arrows (different) colours, because the tip of the arrows give proper information.
Pointing to the center : Hm, maybe a matter of taste - for me the arrows give me the direction where I have to go to the center. You see it quite opposite.
Anyway - thx for your work !

It was only made with a paint program - no code change so far.
The colors are the original ones. For the b/w skin the colors defined there are used.

I will look into the code (as I remember the trims and the bars are drawn by the same method so I don't know how much effort it would take to change the simple colored rectangles to triangles) and post the result later...

EDIT: Pointing in the direction they move seems more natural for me.

If you are able to build your own deviation you can test this, otherwise tell me and I will place the emulator somewhere. If it is good, you could make an enhancement ticket on bitbucket (or I can do this for you).

Hi !

I have tried out the 8S theses days under sunnny conditions - think about selling the radio . . .
No matter which skin (normal or high contrast) or battery (NiMh or LiPo), in the end I'm not satsfied.
It's simply the principle which isn't appropriate. Imho it's only indoor suitable.
Anyway, thanks a lot for response.

Kind regards
Gerhard

As described here I tried out a anti glare foil with satisfying result.

I already have files in there.

Do I just put the new ones there, or do I have to remove the existing ones?

Thanks - Chris

Allthough I like the skin and have installed right now I wonder if a reverse BW skin wouldn't be more effective?
