Date: 23/9/2015 Tags: mc2 | The last week or so has been spent a twisty maze of fonts, colour spaces, CPU endianess and cross platform C++. Anyway I won't regail you with all the fun I've had but I will show you some screenshots. Firstly because I have RGB LEDs for each Instant Access switch, I need a way for the user to select a colour: 
 It remains to be seen how easy it is to use on the real hardware. But colour selection works either by hitting one of the palette entries or pushing the Red, Green and Blue sliders around. Also for entering details like the CC number and other textual information I probably need a touch screen keyboard: 
 This is roughly copied off my Android phone's touch keyboard. Without Swype unfortunately ;) The screen to select a scene change for an IA button:  And the page where the user picks an Axefx block:

This week I've been working on the screen layouts. A fair bit of mucking around with CSS and resource file formats was required to get it all working but here is what it looks like now:
 Working from the hand drawn ideas I had last week I'm mocking all the dialogs up in the graphical editor:
 Also in the mean time I'm working out if I can hide the boot time of the Raspberry Pi behind a custom splash screen. A static image is easily doable but something with a progress spinner might be a bit tricky.

| Removing Suggested Tiles from Firefox New Tab Page | |
|---|---|
|
Date: 10/9/2015 Tags: firefox | So in recent builds of Firefox new tabs have collected "suggested" site tiles. Now being marketed to and having my meta-data sold to the highest bidder is why I moved back to Firefox from Chrome about a year ago, so the appearance of "marketing" in Firefox's UI is quite concerning. Of course you probably want to know how to turn those suggested site tiles off right? Well see that little gear icon in the top right hand corner:  Unselect the "Include suggested sites" and you're good. |
