Suggestions for Hammerskin

[grayme]

Witchel, how about moving the control buttons for the radar picture up to the top as this would enable the latest update time (usually part of the picture by the website at the bottom) to be seen?

Also, how about a shortcut to the city radar picture on the main screen, to get to it with one tap?  

[Wichtel]

I already have tried this and I then didn't like it anyway.

But with the button I find this good, I will work this in into tomorrow's update.

Would it be possible to put in a variable that we can change in the skin to move the buttons to the top? Alternatively, how do I do it (I've tried but nothing moved!   )?

[Wichtel]

I think I have misunderstood you. You can explain this once again? . With my bad knowledge of English I understand this for it.

Witchel, two suggestions:

1). Move the radar control buttons up to the top so we can see the time of the picture (see at the bottom, 'Sunday' is under the buttons.)

2). Put a link to the radar picture on the main screen.

grayme:  If you don't need the top 20 "pixel" of your image, then just add "-20" in y to move your image up 20 pixels.

2). Put a link to the radar picture on the main screen.

Looks like there is no good place for the green icon in the mian page.  Maybe the space above "update"?

I could, but then there would be a gap underneath; I'd prefer to move the buttons.

That is fine for me, just bear in mind that Witchel usually has the time in there (though I believe most of us have it on the top bar?).

These were suggestions to include in his default skin rather than just mine, if he doesn't like them he can ignore them and I'll set about tailoring mine.

 Is this what you would like?

 I used "offest" code to adjust the position of buttons.  The upside is you only add two codes.  However, there are 2 downsides:

1) You will lose "tap-on-image-then-go-back-to-weather page" function.
2) The pop-up menu will remain the same position, that is right low corner.

grayme:

 Is this waht you would like?

Yes, that's it.

The upsides beat the downsides, what do I need?

Also, how do you move the starting position of the picture so it shows all the right side?

Thanks

Here is the code for region,7,6.  The additions are in red.  I put "if..else" to move the start position for that particular image without changing Witchtel's default position.  I did not do a fully test so if you see any "wired" things happened please let me know.

grayme:

 I forgot to tell you.  The codes I posted will only reposition the 1.gif(jpg/png) in city radar(access by green icon).  If that is not in your case, please let me know.

 Also I should pointed out, the "tap-on-image......" function can be restored by recodeing.  I believe same as for the pop-up menu.

@Grayme,

I, too, think the 'upper' side is better to place these things: more practice and it gives a better lay-out of the screen.


@Uk_skinner,
I admire the fast way you manage the wishes of other members. I think you have a bright mind!

No word.

Thanks UK, I'll give it a whurl!

You see, UK_skinner has already worked out the solution.

I will put a radar badge on the Mainpage in the next version.The most suitable place is between the day names of the weather icons. I will adapt this one to the design of the Mainpage, though.


I then have already understood you correctly by the way, however, wasn't sure.
