FR: Add carousel view

Open WardsParadox opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

A carousel view to be able to display more info while tasks are occurring would be an awesome feature. I believe this can be sudo faked with a while loop writing to the command file, but it doesn't center up as nicely.

I've been thinking the same thing.

Passed in from a json file I was thinking something like:

{
  "message" : [
    {"page1" : "Content here"},
    {"page2" : "Content here"},
    {"page3" : "Content here"}
  ]
}

and have the pages rotate around like they do with the image carosel. would need to think about how to make that updatable via command file.

probably not in my radar for a while so I'm going to close this as a wontfix

In the meantime, with the updated management of --ontop and --blurscreen when using multiple dialogs, a similar effect (from a UX point of view) can be done with some careful scripting. I've posted an example here which can be expanded on or pulled apart as needed.
