Not worth it for localizing 7 days 12 months? Guess I'll just have to finagle it into the config file... -.-

Don't bother, I'm going to use time only for now

too late

it's done already (in my github), just have to pack it up for release

it's not beautiful but it kinda works

I hope this will be the last update for a while.

Excellent work

Didn't try the battery thing, but date is working as expected.

The new {battery} %-level addition is working well on my ClaraHD, KA1, Forma.

Many thanks, frostschutz. I wasn't expecting such a speedy result.

I haven’t installed a new version of this just wondering if any of the above changes add support for the page turn buttons l have it basically working with the suggested increased update time.

As mentioned earlier not expecting this instantly just wondering if it’s been implemented already

the delay can be configured in more detail now (not sure if it would help you at all) but no support for buttons as of yet, sorry. Thanks for the reminder though, I kind of forgot about it

Works great, thanks

I don´t understand, how can i displayed the battery-level, what i have exactly to do?

I´ve found it , it´s easy!

[Rommyno]

Could you explain what I need to change on code to activate battery level display please?
Thank you

[frostschutz]

see .addons/miniclock/miniclock.cfg (example file included)

add {battery} to the format string

set battery_max=100

(unless you're like me and only want to know about the battery when it's actually low - by default {battery} only shows min-max 0-50%)

[Rommyno]

Thank you Frostschutz, all is okay

:-)

Does anyone have negative offsets working on the Forma in combination with switching between portrait and landscape? (as suggested here and here).

I have truetype_y=-30 but see no time in either portrait or landscape. Things work well in portrait mode with truetype_y=1870 in the config file.

[NiLuJe]

@leonmoonen: Try with a larger negative top margin (i.e., 1870 actually corresponds to -50 in Portrait on the Forma [screen resolution is 1440x1920])?

EDIT: Incidentally, 50px is *exactly* the height I need with my tweaked Bookerly at the default size (... for most glyphs) on 300ppi devices like the Forma.

c.f., fbink's verbose output on the CLI:

Max LW: 1440  Max LH: 53  Max BL: 41  FntSize: 50

FntSize is what the metrics say the font needs, Max LH is what it actually does need in practice for the string that was printed.
(Metrics are purposely borked on my Bookerly to limit lineheights, which explains the discrepancy).

So, with -50, printing is *right* at the bottom edge (... for most glyphs, in my example, I'd actually need -53).

thanks! that fixes it, I had incorrectly calculated from 1900 instead of 1920
