Thomas Jäger has made a time plugin for LCDInfo. Good work Thomas :D

There is analog clock now also:
Quote:
I was able to implement a analogue clock into
the time plugin. All you need is a background picture what works as a dial
for the clock. I have attached 3 sample backgrounds. Just rename one of them
to "Clock_Background.bmp" and copy it to the LCDInfo folder. There are no
adjustments to be made, since the pointers adapt to the size of the bitmap
automatically. Just make sure that the height and width of the bitmap are
the same, in case you want to make your own background. Then just add the
following term to your "clock screen" and adjust the position:

<item type="pluginimage" x="5" y="9">
<imageid>TimeInfo.Analog</imageid>
<refresh>100</refresh>
</item>

This should bring up a clock screen as the one in the attached photo.

hello
error opening dll: D:\lcdinfo\time_plugin.dll
23:54:21:203 LoadLibrary() error: Le module spécifié est introuvable.
??

Hmm, seems like the plugin dll is built in debug mode and your system doesn't have the debug versions of MS runtimes.

I'll inform Thomas about this.

There's now Release build available that should fix the error I hope. Also analog clock is now included.

Post subject:  Still an old plugin version

Hi,

Henry sill linked to an old version of the plugin. The old version will only work when VC++ is installed your computer, since I accidentally did not turn off the debug mode. The new version must be 36KB in size, the old one is 125KB. Please wait until Henry had the chance to update the link to the new version.

Regards

Thomas

Works great, any chance of having the months also in 'normal' name mode, just like TimeInfo.Weekday - Name:System Weekday (Monday-Friday) ?

Thomas,

I'm getting extremely high memory usage (400mb+) after running LCDinfo with a screen that uses your plugin for a very long period (10+ hours), after that it just terminates LCDinfo and hangs on the time.info screen.
No error messages.
FIY i have a clock_background.bmp sized 200x200 pixels.

Hi coorz,

- it looks like as some memory does not get released. I need to talk to Henry about this. :cry:

- I guess having the month as a name (January, February...) should be no problem. :)

I will post a message as soon as the changes are done.

Regards

Thomas

Hi coorz,

nice work. It looks very impressive. :!: I have asked Henry to update the link to point to the new version of the plugin. At the moment it is still the faulty version :( .

Regards

Thomas

Sorry, my attention has been on some other things and it took a while to get the file updated. It should be updated now.
