I find myself repeating old work. again. In the past, as I was spending time with HE many (most?) of my desires were met with basic tools created by others. As I implemented in a new location from scratch, work that I had done previously, customizing others work for my own use, needed repeating.
As an example, I use a notification tile. However, I also use Android Dashboard. Because the dashboard is so flexible, the tiles need to be adjusted so they work better for me. In the example of notification tile I want the text color to be blue, and the fontsize 80%. I also prefer the opacity at about 70%. I take work I did for myself on a driver I had written and copy paste it for the most part to extend the tile so I gain control over basic values.
I can't be the only one doing this! I literally am modding 8 drivers to 'custom' versions for myself to add these basic features.
attribute tileFontSize, number
attribute tileFontColor, string /* Hex 6 or Hex 8 for opacity */
attribute tileHorzWordPos, string
' display: block;\n' +
' color:' + "${existingTileFontColor}" + ';\n' +
' text-align:' + "${existingTileHorzWordPos}" + ';\n' +
' font-size:' + "${existingTileFontSize}" + '%;\n' +
'}\n' +
'</style>\n' +
I think it would be great if we all shared a basic library set of tile related mods that are lacking in HE. We all stumble over the same problems! I've submitted push requests on git for 4 or 5 others to implement what I think is useful mods - but thats still one at a time sort of work. wouldn't it be great tho have a standard way to implement tile basics? Icons? stuff like that?
