Controller Wallpaper

[Tom Sea]

I find the controller very handy to have around for setting things up. But there is one thing that drives me crazy. I like the standard blue screen but the background gets darker as you go down the screen. As a consequence when I make a selection at the bottom of the menu I often click on the wrong item. This becomes more prevalent as the device ages and the screen becomes darker. The only wallpaper screen that does not seem to do this so badly is "Quartet" but I am not a fan of the red.

Is there any plugins or updates that give a constant shade to the background wallpaper? This would be helpful for aging equipment.

There's the "Customize Device" plugin, I've only used this on a Touch, but "controller" is mentioned.

Select local or remote image files for using as the wallpaper on your controller. These images will be available as options for the wallpaper from the Settings->Screen->Wallpaper menu from your controller. Wallpaper files should be 240x320 (Controller), 320x240 (Squeezebox Radio) or 480x272 (Squeezebox Touch) pixel .jpeg, .jpg, .png or .bmp files

There used to be patches available to change the highlight colour but they don't appear to be available for the community firmware.

I think the community firmware may have removed the green highlight, can't remember, Radio is in my garage, not used for months, will boot it up tomorrow.

The old instructions from the wiki still work anyway. Not quite as convenient but they work.

Yes, removed, back to black/white.
