OK, what's your cunning secret
I cannot get either the -O or -o option to work satisfactorily in white-on-black Nightmode. I've tried all sorts of tweaks to the fbink statement in miniclock.sh without success (including removing the -B parameter). Whatever combo I've tried ends up with a white background, not a transparent one.
This is the default fbink statement for Miniclock:
Code:
fbink -X "$cfg_offset_x" -Y "$cfg_offset_y" -F "$cfg_font" -S "$cfg_size" \
-C "$cfg_fg_color" -B "$cfg_bg_color" \
"$(date +"$cfg_format")"
What should it be to get optimal results in both black-on-white and white-on-black modes? In case it's relevant, I set the config file's fg_color=GRAY7 so that the HH:MM would be equally visibly muted in both modes.
BTW:
- using the -O option has the minor drawback that, when the minutes value changes, the new value is overlaid on the old value until the next screen touch tidies it up.
- using the -o option just gives me a white background rectangle with no HH:MM display.
