"Standby text size" item "bumps" to the right
Last modified: 2008-08-18 10:54:16 UTC
In the settings menu, the "Standby text size" menu item doesn't go anywhere when the right arrow-key is pressed, it just does the "bump" animation.
I disabled this until we have some way to transparently handle the differences between the graphics displays and the character-based ones that isn't mode-dependent. Options include: 1)One preference each for active and idle text sizes, regardless of whether the display is graphic or character (currently we have offDisplaySize and idleFont_curr for the idle or "off" state, and doublesize/activeFont_curr for the active or "on" state). There should only be one font list shared by the two states in this case. 2)Separate client object methods for getting/setting the active and idle textsize and font list, independent of active/idle state. Currently the textsize() method will hide the double preferences from the rest of the software, but only for the current active/idle state. Since we will always be in the active state when changing settings through the player, there is no way to transparently get or set the idle text size, or to get the idle font list.
to my mind, it seems reasonable to leave that setting disabled. Pressing size when in standby should change the preference just fine, and would relieve the complication of having the standby setting in active mode.
Do we want to just remove this setting completely?
my vote would be that its not needed. pressing OFF with the remote, then SIZE takes arguable less button presses than navigating to settings, standby text size, up/down.
This works as is now, so better to mark it for post 6.0 for a review on whether the setting should be enabled somehow or have the commented code removed.

pretty useless having it there if it does nothing.
Created attachment 376 [details] properly disable standby text size setting from player ui it still appears in the default list, so we need to remove that to fully disable the setting.
removing the commented code as of change 3152 and closing the bug turn player off and press SIZE to control the off display size.
This bug was marked resolved in Slimserver 6.1, which is several versions ago. If you're still seeing this bug, please re-open it. Thanks!
