Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver

[Howard Passman]

Do you think you could make SDT force a background/wallpaper change when you go to it? Most backgrounds make it very hard to read SDT or anything else for that matter. I made a custom background for my SBC just so I can use your wonderful plugin :-) If I could remember how to take a screen snapshot of the SBC screen I'd post it for you.

Without writing a Jive app, I don't believe there's an API setting to change it easily.

Can anyone help me shrink the font during football scores so that I can see the whole thing on the Boom display?

Currently you'd have to change the font for everything... Have you tried TICKER mode?

Like to see Celsius as temperature on the controller. However I cannot find the right place to change the parameter.
Yes, the "%_5/%_7" line is changed as others pointed out. The SB3 is showing Celsius, after changing, and it was mentioned earlier something else had to be changed.
But what?

Yesterday I installed SDT for both of my Booms since I already had clocks in the rooms where I keep them. I have two Booms from beta testing. One is an early beta unit and one is late beta (production) model. I used identical SDT settings for both of them.

On the EARLY beta Boom, I can use the up and down arrows to see the forecast for the upcoming three days as I have set in SDT options. But on my late beta Boom, I only get today, tonight, and tomorrow, and then 4 blank screens. What I find especially odd is that it works on the early beta Boom, and not the production one.

I believe this is the same issue reported by madpatrick in message 1029 of this thread (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpo...postcount=1029), but I didn't see it ever addressed.

Actually, I'd be interested to know this as well. I've successfully changed the temp display to C on my SB3s, but the Controller remains in fahrenheit. The controller doesn't show up in the superdatetime.prefs file with the other players, so I'm also unsure what you need to change to make this work.

Well, the controller is now showing celsius degrees, I can post the file here, if someone needs it, not sure if it's ok with Greg, but I'm sure he will tell me...

I would be very interested in getting it....

If you don't mind, I would very much like to wait for the green flag from Greg. For all I know he's working on the problem.

I have nothing more than the utmost respect for the folks making the squeeze to one of the finest gadgets I own!
I'm sure he is following this thread, can't take that long to hear the door slamming!

Just being polite...

First off, as many have said, thanks so much to Greg for this great plugin and work. So many fans here!

I'm still a bit mystified at all the options -

I have a Boom.

Is it possible to "turn off" the scrolling weather readout? I can't seem to turn it off.

I guess what I don't know how to do is the effect the following without using the remote, etc.:

screen 1: current time
screen 2: current conditions with icon
screen 3: next day conditions with icon
screen 4: sports (or stocks)

and just automatically "rotate" through the above modes.

Is that possible?

Thanks much!
