Bit snookered on that at the moment... Better way to do it is draw little custom characters as part of your font file

... There will be some further changes later on for better support of GFX displays...

If you do as I tol dyou it won't refresh.

As for a non inverted graphic font, small filled is good, or http://users.ox.ac.uk/~some0814/CheeseFont2.zip should make the bargraphs work. DOn't use the definition file in cheesefont2 now though.

Cheers,

This was done by using a template in the way you suggest... bit of cursoring need to update the 'sys info' box when it changes screen, 5 different fonts so I have to change the font and metric on the fly, and some more cursoring to put the temps where you see them. It's a little messy to do but it works...

Cheers,

the Cpu stuff (load % text and load bargraph ) aren't working and the gpo toggle (on/off) isn't working too. is it a bug in the program or in my computer ???

i'm trying the gpo toggle with a keypad press, (the keypad is working i have tested it with another event).

DOuble check you have Enable CPU usage checked in MBM5... LCDC reads that info from there now.

I just wanted to add that this is a fantastic program and I will be paying to register when that is online!

I just received my display kit today, and went through all the available programs. I liked Smartie, but it seemed to have too many quirks like shooting the CPU usage up, etc.

LCDC is fantastic! It is -very- customizable, has a -nice- interface, and runs extremely well in it's latest version! I am very, very impressed!

Only one suggestion which may not be possible using the MBM plugin:

Is there any way to display the temperatures in F as opposed to C for us Americans?

I'm thinking that MBM probably passes the info in C and this would have to be coded as an option in the plugin, but it can't be too hard.

Again, great work!!

Ah drat, I have to admit I thought the MBM info would come over in whatever format was chosen in mbm... Let me try and sort that...

would it be possible have LCDC display signal strength of digital radio along with what station its tuned into? (http://www.dabbar.co.uk/dabbar.htm - might help if ur not sure what i mean)

would it be possible to add a character that would only show up if you've got new mail. atm i have a seperate screen which doesnt display if theres no new mail, but i'd like to add a character to every screen so i can glance and know if i've got mail or not - you like that little envelope that appears in the system tray when using outlook experss

ive yet to try the function, but can you control how fast the gpo turns on and off, cause if you can, it would be cool to include a function to vary the speed of gpo on/off cycling...so you could control the speed of a fan.....set it up with the bar graph finction...and use it with a few switches....and instant variable digital fan controller

just a though...if posible i think this would push the software over the top for us lk204 25 pc users....
