btwise Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 @ndk UiScale, background, font, selector,Label,text_scaling,icon_scaling,alpha and other parameters are suggested to use themes.plist unified control, do not use PNG filename control! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually, some of these options are no longer needed/optional, such as: UIScale was there because of Icons was 128px by default and image quality of scaling up for 4k screen was affected. But now all icons are 256px by default, scaling up are no longer needed, and scaling down is not an option but mandatory since Icons will be too big for non 4k screen. Background.png is now auto scaled to fit the screen with the same aspect ratio if used, no size matching is required anymore, but preferably for quality. If background.png is not found, then background_color.png color sample will be used. So there is no option needed here. Font.png and font_color.png work the same way as background, and can be changed according to user preference. Selector.png is used if found else won't be used, simple as that, no option needed. Label.png is a background image for label under the icons, which will be used if found. Text scaling should not be an option since it will be too tiny/big to read for 4k/non screen, and will be auto scaling up/down based on screen resolution with reasonable proportion. Alpha setting will be a thing in the past and will not be used/optional. The reason for auto UIScaling based on screen resolution is simple, users don't have to change the UIScaling every times, a new monitor with different resolution is plugged in. The goal is no settings are needed, it just works! Edited March 20, 2020 by n.d.k 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest commit will use old label style in middle by default for low res screen. Edited March 21, 2020 by n.d.k 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just rename the Label.png to No_label.png, but you don't have to do that anymore with latest commit, it's auto turn off for your low screen resolution. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matgen84 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Hi @n.d.k I just build latest NDK-OC: commit 4afdd9f. I use Ui without selector: HitBox works correctly. It seems that Selector.png must be presentto be fully effective. I don't understand why all icons are highlighting (or seems to be) on my screen 1920*1080. So it's more difficult to see which ones are selected. Edited March 24, 2020 by Matgen84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the latest commit, the apha effect are dropped and no longer use in favor of rendering all icons at its original color when not selected and when selected, the color saturation will be increased to make the color look brighter and popped out. See the different in color between selected and non-selected icon below: 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be useful to have a changelog for modifications. We can't guess just kidding... Edited March 25, 2020 by Matgen84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

System stops at this error: ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status = Invalid Parameter) 10:178 00:006 ASSERT [OpenCore] /Users/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/Desktop/OpenCorePkg-master/edk2/MdePkg/Library/UefiMemoryAllocationLib/MemoryAllocationLib.c(813): !EFI_ERROR (Status) Any thoughts out there as to what this might be causing this error? (0.5.6 working just fine....) The assert error is from free memory function (Freepool). Sometimes, you have to delete the old build folder, which located in edk2/build/OpenCorePkg, for it to generate the new one. I just tested the debug version just now, it's working fine. 36 minutes ago, btwise said: You mean: Bin2C.exe myfont.png myfont And then get myfont.h and myfont.c files?

And, just to so you know, when I compile the Opencore application, I don't keep the old folders. I delete them, and load a new one every time, so the edk2 folder is brand new and the download from github was done this morning. Any other ideas? Is there a new quirk in 0.5.7 (or an old one from 0.5.6) that might relate to this issue (Freepool)? I am also running 10.15.4 the released verson. Is there any chance you don't have font.png file in Icons folder? if you don't have a font.png file in Icons folder and running a debug version, you'll get that error, so make sure it's there. PS. Here's some tip related to error from bootpicker and unable to boot. If you don't already know, you can bypass the bootpicker by using hotkey x to boot directly into mac and fix your error.
