i'm trying to make a "clock" script to show aclock in the top corner (similar to what you see on tv shows in the morning)

two things are bugging me, is it possible to make a window that only displays when the video is fullscreen and doesn't receive actions/events ?

and is it possible to change the font size, or possibly create my own super large number only font ?

thanks,
kosh

i would love to make my own font, because i could make it white with a black border, so it can be read even in dark scenes.

the event/action interception is annoying, when i'm watching a video i can play/pause/stop i can't use left/right to seek or anything fun

:thumbsup:

look at poker timer ii, you can find it at xbmcscripts.com.

i used image files for the clock.

the timer uses 10 different controls for each place, but if you were'nt going to show seconds you could do it the way i did for changing blind amounts and things.

i felt updating every second was too much accessing the hard drive.

i wish there was a way to tell xbmc to cache image files. i have a tetris script in production that uses the same small block graphic dozens of times.

koshclock files

this is what i have so far, but it still intercepts actions, is there a way to sorta
on action(self, action):
parent.onaction(action)
?

i have no idea if this would work, but couldn't you make controlimages of each block on the screen with each colour, then just add/remove controls as that block is affected.

tmk, the image is loaded when you load controlimage ?

i'm lucky, i only really update the onscreen images once a minute.
plus i run the time update every 3 seconds instead of every second.

since i only need the "general" time not down to the second.

although it would pilage the memory to load those image like that
