LcdPicons kit for Black Hole Vu Ultimo 1.6.7 kernel 3.1.1

Ok I have been playing some more today.

I have settled on this for the time being.

extract all files:

skin_user.xml goes into /etc/enigma2
RollerCharLCD.py goes into /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/Renderer/
vfd_icon_hd.png goes into /usr/share/enigma2/vfd_icons/

I don't suggest to install roller renderer, they slow down dramatically box performances.

I've installed it this weekend .
I just wanted to get it work properly .
It works fine after making some adjustment on .py file and it rolls only once when I change the channel.
The only min point is when I zap to quick . It still scrolls the name and event of the previous channel.

Here are the files if someone wants to test them.

Today I made some tests to let the Ch. & Ev. name scroll faster. It works little bit better.

Let me explain some changes that can be made in "RollerCharLCD" & "RollerCharPOP"
to suit your needs. If someone want to .

" if len(self.text) > 9:"
9 = It will begin to scroll the name if there are 9 letters or more. So if you change the "9" to "11" it
will begin scrolling the Ch. , Ev. name that have 11 letters or more.

self.x = len(self.text) + 2"
2 = It will scroll Two empty spaces after the name.

"self.moveTimerText.start(2000)" = First Line
2000 = The time it will pause before starts scrolling . Less = faster it will begin to scroll.

"if len(self.text) > 9:
self.text = self.text[:9] + "..." "
[:9] + "..." = It will show 3 Dots after the text. Change to "****" it shows 4 stars or change to "---" or "TEXT" ...........

"self.moveTimerText.start(350)"
350 = Is the speed of scrolling text. Higher ( 1000 ) > Slower , Lower ( 200) > Faster scrolling.


Always back your files up first.
Best regards Hija31.

Thanks go to the coder "shamann"
 
O.K.
I know about the Matrix LCD skins and Zombis picons but this thread
became like a test thread for VFD so I posted in here for people who want to experiment with files.

Sorry.

No need to be sorry, I think Mila was just pointing out that some of the work done on this thread, has now been uploaded to the online server for all to download.

Also forgot to ask you, have you made anymore VFD picon's yourself as I found your 16e collection on another forum.

I think VFD picons already many steps to do, so welcome your test :D
 
Is very difficult to find all the threads that can treat the subject, maybe it would be necessary to create a special area
