I'd like to be able to cycle a text message on and off when foo is in the Stopped state.

I know how to do it while a song is playing using the $select($eval($mod(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,2)+1) string, but of course that relies on a song being played at the time. I can't seem to get anything to work while it's in the Stopped state.

Anyone have any ideas about code to use for what I want to do, or is it even possible?

Thanks!!

Just an idee:
use %cwb_systemdatetime% in foo_cwb_hooks to have a value which get updated every sec...
don't know, if it would works, nut tell if it works

bye

EDIT: i tried it, it doesnt work while stopped %cwb_systemdatetime% give you a ?

With the current PanelsUI implementation this would be impossible. Panels only refresh depending on the section used. None of the current sections updates when a track is not playing.

Hmm...wild guess:

have a blinking animated GIF on top of the text message, the GIF being the color of the background of course.

I don't know if animated GIF works though...

Thank you for the suggestion, anyway!



That's what I was afraid of. Bummer!



Nope, GIFs do not work within PanelsUI. I tried that one a long time ago... But thanks for the suggestion!!
