Description

This is relatively easy although the rotation of the hands is a little confusing (to me, so far). But the background face and overlay (like adding a glass highlight) are straightforward.

How this needs to be done:
  • Add support for a theme directory
  • Add support for a current theme configuration, defaulting to original drawn face and hands
  • Design theme config file format, including validation of the content
    • Maximum face size: 512
    • Scale hands: face size * {.97 second, .85 minute, .65 hour}
    • Hands have rotation point: x/y offset for where rotation should occur
  • Write functions for loading hands and rotating them
  • If theme available, do drawing:
    • Draw background
    • Call hour hand, draw it
    • Call minute hand, draw it
    • Call second hand, draw it
    • Draw overlay
The hand functions have to
  • Be loaded into their own cairo surface
  • Scale the hand
  • Rotate the hand
  • position the hand after the call
  • merged into the main cairo surface

See http://zetcode.com/gfx/cairo/compositing/

Also see this for how to translate and rotate the hands: http://stackoverflow.com/a/35996791. Note that this also shows the use of a Cairo pattern that is generated from the source and is used for translating/rotating.

Implemented themes handling in piclock. It was actually much easier than I thought. I now have two themes: test and roman. The latter is the default. I need to test these on hardware now.

All code is checked into the implement-themes branch.

Verified on hardware. Just needed a little packaging update.

Boom! Hoorah! Themes are added to piclock!

Closing issue.
