More than 20 screens?

[Blaze89]

OK, somehow I've run out of spare screens, I'm up to number 18 now.
I have looked in the config.ini and have added more screens in there but LCD Smartie doesn't pick up the changes.
Is there anyway I can add more screens or will it have to be done in a new release

Wow! more than 18 screens of info? I have to ask: what do you have on them all?

I use 3-4 screens (4x20 LCD), and usually only 2 (cpu/mem info and winamp info), but then I'm not using the PC as a media centre and don't have gaming stats or anything like that...

The bad news: I don't think there is a way to get more than 20 screens with the current release (same in previous versions) - the developers presumably didn't foresee a need for more than that.

Well I do have a few junk screens I can get rid of, but here is a quick list.
1: Time & Date 2: CPU Meter w/ bar 3: Ram Load w/ bar
4: Disk Load w/bars 5: CPU, PSU and fan 6: Internode Email
7: Shiftreload Email 8: IP and net speed 9: Uptime
10: CPU and Ram Load (Bars) 11:Analogue Clock & Date 12: Pagefile
13:Winamp 14: Weather RSS 15:Bignum Plugin clock
16: Ch Ten RSS 17: Another CPU temp bar 18: Download counter
And a screen I missed is a screen that you can edit the text over a network.

Hard to belive but I use most of them.

As I said I could get rid of a few, but when I get the game server info working it's going to fill right up. *Licks Extreme ADSL2+ router, and frowns apon 20GB limit...*

I think that support for girder control and more than 20 screens can be done from Lcd smartie code. The options are already there for girder control: Next theme, Last theme, Next screen, Last screen, Go to theme(1..), Go to screen (1..), Freeze/Unfreeze, Enable screen (1-x). They have to include external access to them. Just like they use the capability of winamp to be controlled from external aplications.

It would be nice to dim the light of the LCD from a remote.

I can obtain the necessary info for girder commands if in the lcd preview, beside the next and last buttons options, you could place buttons for all the ather options. Then i can capture those commands in girder. It doesn't work from access menu.

I have a HD44780 (16X2) so adjusting the LCD brightness would require an external IR setup. Although then you wouldn't need a power switch or external buttons either.
