Snow screensaver is too wide for Boom display
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:19:08 UTC
The snow screensaver appears to have a hard-coded display width. When it draws text in the snow, the text starts towards the right-hand edge of the Boom display and then disappears off the edge. For some text settings (e.g current time) the text never appears on the screen. Maybe worth fixing this before Christmas?
The screen displays HAP and NEW Y and MER and CHRIS.
KDF: care to take a stab at this?
Created attachment 4058 [details] patch specific to boom this squishes the snow plugin so that the standard message fits on boom. It's rough, but that's what you get with such a tight fit. Needs more work in order to auto fit.
The patach works on the boom for the most part... The date/time option don't work however settings > snow screen saver > when off > date/time -- I get 'just snow'

As KDF points out, this plug-in needs work to make it look better on the boom and other players. With this patch applied, all the other players are now too narrow.
change 23430 - switch font width depending on display type. Thanks kdf!
