Bugzilla – Bug 7263
Add sleep status icon to NP screen
Last modified: 2009-10-05 14:33:22 UTC
Currently, if I put the jive to SLEEP manual SETTINGS > SLEEP >, the selected sleep time will be displayed at the top of the menu. There is no way for the user to know that a sleep has been started, or how much time is left. Suggest we change the top of the Sleep menu from "Sleeping in 'selected' minutes" to "sleeping in XX minutes" where XX is a count down of time left from when the user selected the sleep amount. Also, It may be helpful to put a SLEEP icon at the bottom of the "home" and or "now playing" menu.
I noticed the JIVE WIKI talks about a "sleep icon" but I don't see one. http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?JiveUI
Worth considering for 7.0.1
7.1 SC change 20894 fixes this radio buttons replaced with "go" actions and showBriefly messages for user feedback. time-to-sleep when entering this menu will be the correct amount of minutes remaining until the player sleeps. I will not be implementing a dynamic countdown timer. I don't know where a sleep icon would go (there really is no space left for it), and we don't have any graphical asset for that. If you feel this is really needed, reopen this bug and assign it to Dean for comment.
Dean: Should we change the wiki to remove reference to this? or add an icon (if possible)
I updated the wiki to remove the sleep icon: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/ControllerUI Let's consider this for the UI revamp in 7.4

Noah, we'll need sleep and alarm indicators on the now playing screen for all SqueezePlay-based UIs for 7.4.
Moving to the product SqueezePlay because this bug appears to apply to any player based on that application code. Feel free to move it back if it's specific to the single original product.
Matt- The proposal would be to add a sleep icon indicator to the Now Playing screen. This is something we had discussed independently. Thoughts? It would most likely go inside the content menu (floating) or the status bar if there is room. We have an icon in svn. for fab4, however, not for the QVGAskins.
Noah, do you have a reference screen (even a rough one) for how this might look? Having trouble envisioning where it would fit, esp. on fab4.
Could we add a static, status indicator icon to the Now Playing and look into including a elapsed time to shutdown in settings perhaps? I would strongly recommend including any form of count-down timer in a settings menu. My concern is two-fold: 1. Placement on the Now Playing screen for Controller = space is limited. 2. On the Now Playing screen with time (clock) and song progress (elapsed time) adding another countdown timer could get confusing quickly:)
Do we need the count down timer showing, why not just a small animated icon.? Then pressing the sleep button would show the timer in question.
FWIW, the latest version of the sleep control in the settings menu does now show you the time remaining. I don't think it worked that way when this bug was originally filed.
Ben - over to you. The "sleep mode" indicator icon has been added to svn. Guidelines + ref. screens are added as well. In addition, an alarm mode icon has been added for all platforms. The second part of this bug: count down timer has already been implemented by you. As discussed over the phone we might want to revisit the exact implementation post 7.4. Matt- Please review what Ben has added to the Settings sleep menu to indicate time remaining until sleep.
I'm viewing this as a necessary UI feature, so removing the enhancement severity
Created attachment 5523 [details] Ref artwork - sleep count-down timer Version #2 of the attached is the preferred direction. Not sure why we need to have an entire sub menu for this?
Reset priority before triage.
