Background refresh possible?
tsuyo —Mon, 03/29/2010 - 21:34
Hey, i really like the FastDial Addon but there is one thing it would be really nice to have.
Is it possible to refresh the Background every.. 100Msecs?
I want to set my Desktop as background for Fastdial. So i have to refresh that Background everytime.
Is that possible?
Greetings

Submitted by tsuyo on Tue, 03/30/2010 - 23:22Okay, i made some steps forward.
One problem of all was, the Browser puts every picture into a cache. So even if i change the Image, it does not get shown in Fast Dial. So i made a function that counts up a textfile. My extern application reads it out, and creats images under that name in the the file. Works perfect now.
Then an another error occours, if i let change the background, the background is getting cached. That takes 0.5 - 1 second.
So 1 second long the background is just white. I fixed that by adding a div into the template of FastDial. So i overwrite 2Divs, and now its working like a charm :)
I just have to make the right image now, if its done - i'm done :)

Trouble is that you will be clicking on those Desktop icons all the time now and nothing will happen !!
Quite amazing
Well done !
Do you think you really need the stripes I wonder ?
It is looking very much like a Fast Dial screen now.
With the smaller logos the stripes seem rather more noticeable than when the logos were larger..
What do you think ?
if you set your fast dial to opacity zero for normal with higher opacity setting for active/mouse over, that would allow you perhaps to have larger icons than you have in this picture, as your desktop would be more visible.
Have you tried ??

Will you be able to package it all as an Extension, or will it need a windows component as you mentioned ?
