Abi's Screens

[Abi_J]

Just upgraded from a 2x16 to a 4x20 (damn LCDS for making me spend money! I only had the 2x16 for about 2 days before I ordered the 4x20) and been playing for a while, here's what I'm displaying now (until I play some more - my other half is whining about me sitting on the computer instead of sleeping)...

Uses: Swap/Scroll/If (IF and Swap), World Time (HoraMundial), Perf, Everest, Winamp, RegExp, SplitTitle, YahooWeather.
All screens are centered/no scroll unless noted.

First Screen: Time (GMT and local - I'm in Chicago, family in England, Date and Company Title...

Third Screen: skip if winamp inactive. If playing title is only 1 part (my movies don't have a - in them) then the title displays on line 4 with a progress bar on line 3, otherwise artist on line 3, song title on line 4...

Code: Select all

Line 1:

Lastly (for now anyways), the weather. Use IF plugin so if there's no connectiong, it displays "--No Data--"location, current temp/high, current conditions, tomorrows temp and conditions...

I'm sure the code could be a lot cleaner, but it works for me. Still have to modify my Nero screen, have to find something else to add for the 2 empty lines, but time for bed now, g'nite.

That's very well done. A good example for all!

Thanks Grant,

I've still got more screens to finish setting up, network data, system temps/fan speeds etc. and as I said, I still have things like the Nero plugin running, I just need to think of something to add to the screen since it was laid out for a 2x16, running on the 4x20 it looks a bit naked!
