[lcd4linux] Automatic Switch to xmms screen

[Peter A. <pe...@le...>]

Hi,
Thanks for a great lcd software! I have just started playing with it and
have two questions that hopefully you guys can answer.
First of all, is there a way to switch to a xmms screen when you start
xmms and switch back once you have shutdown the program?

Secondly, are there any way to replace the output of the time plugin. For
instance to replace "Sat" with "Saturday" and/or the month "8" to
"August"?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

/Peter

The function for time is nothing programmt directly for lcd but it is the C 
Time Function.

check out man date there is described what the letters mean.

Hope this helps you

No, not yet. We're working on this issue, but it may take some tim....

As Steve already wrote, the time plugin uses the strftime C funktion,
you'll find a complete documentation of all tokens in the strftime man page.

For your convience, I've added the relevant stuff from the manpage to
the wiki.


bye, Michael
