Screens created with HSTouch

[rmasonjr]

I'm still plugging along on an older HP TouchPad running CyanogenMod 9. It's mounted in our kitchen and is the hub for checking the status of things. We dont really use it for *control* much anymore since the Echo was released a couple of years ago. I've finally got my family to use voice to control lighting instead of a touchscreen, Nonetheless, HSTouch just keeps plugging along:

Take your time with it Drew. HS3 Designer has many features.

Here too graphically challenged.

Here as most of the computers used are Linux I have configured a W2016 server for only HSDesigner use via RDP from any computer.

Works great. Here are views from my Ubuntu laptop to the W2016 Windows server.

Some of these are AWESOME - lots of good looking screens. Inspiration - I LOVE IT. I am hoping to do an LCARS system (like ST:TNG).

But you guys are great and thanks for sharing.

first effort at bedside screen

attached captures of my in-progress experiments with a bedside alarm clock plus...

The 2nd screen is a screensaver which fades in to almost completely blank the screen, but it leaves the clock display visible (but dimmed) - this is how I'd envisage it running most of the time. - a press anywhere on the screen restores screen1. The clock element is positioned at exactly the same coordinates so that changing between screens is very smooth & seamless. - Only problem is, without a client-side timer, I can't figure out how to get it to behave like a real screensaver & display automatically after X mins of inactivity, - right now, I have to press the button to bring it up... :-(whilst

I also seem to have discovered a bug whilst working on the up & down arrow functions for setting the alarm time, - but that's posted in another thread...

Cheers.

I LOVE THIS IDEA - May I ask, what are you using for the bedside control? A tablet of some kind? How did you get the screensaver object / screen to do that?

I created an optional LCARS version for all the HSTouch screens and set it up so that the theme can be toggled. WAF was not high for the LCARS screens though - she didn't have Trek growing up in Brazil so it basically is a does-not-compute for her. YMMV on this of course

Looks great! Did you make that mount or purchase? How do you power it? Tough to come up with a 'legal' way to conceal power.

THOSE ARE AMAZING!!!! You created them all from scratch? What graphics app did you use?

That is exactly what I am looking to do. I have a few web links saved on an external drive with some specifications for "TRUE" LCARS - colors to be used, etc. I am gonna have to dig them up.

Thanks - I created many from scratch, some are modified jpg pics from the interweb, and all of the animated gifs are off the web, although I modified one of them extensively.

All of it was done with Photoshop CS6.

What I really wish is if I could find a way to get my android to use the Starfleet font that's on my Windows computer for those screens. I know I could save the whole screen, fonts included, as a jpg or png file. Doing that would be incredibly labor intensive though - especially any time you change a button or label.

I have the LCARS color #s, which is what I used for the text & graphics, and I can share them when I get home from work if you wish.

It would be great, thank you. My fonts they appear on the designer bigger than on the fire 10, it makes it almost impossible to design anything.

There is a font scaling feature on the Designer and client to compensate for differences between the two, but I can't speak to their effectiveness.
