Open jdb0040 opened 7 years ago
if any more information is needed please just ask. I am more than a noob (i've seen what comments people who define themselves as noobs leave) so I will do my best to answer them!
when in full vertical screen but the window is opened horizontally, it works. I know I have a small screen, 19" but its all i can do for now. how to make it fit?
Im having the same problem. Did you get a fix yet?
Yes shorten the text!!! Had to change a lot I'll post it later. Near the top just find text sizes, change the sizes then change things from medium to small and so forth until you get it right. I even added my own event size I'll post later
The issue appears to be that the text is not fitting within the frame used to generate the weather. try adding (expand = 1 , fill = "both" ) [python3 syntax] to the .pack() functions within the code. trial and error. I also messed with font sizes though. I completely forgot I had done that as jdb0040 pointed out.
Try changing values of padding(padx and pady) under init function of class FullscreenWindow. It worked for me.
I have a solution to this where I add newlines at spaces (find the first space after 35 characters, replace it with a '\n'). I did the same thing to the news widget. Also, justify=LEFT makes the whole thing not centered. I'd be happy to post/share code if anyone is interested
@bervin61 Please do!
I've left in some surrounding code. For the forecast: in Weather.init
self.currentlyLbl.pack(side=TOP, anchor=W)
self.forecastLbl = Label(self, font=('Helvetica', small_text_size), fg="white", bg="black",justify=LEFT)
self.forecastLbl.pack(side=TOP, anchor=W)
in Weather.get_weather
forecast2 = weather_obj["hourly"]["summary"]
start=0
while len(forecast2[start:len(forecast2)])>40 and forecast2.count(' ',start+35):
start=forecast2.find(' ',start+35)
forecast2=forecast2[0:start]+'\n'+forecast2[start+1:len(forecast2)]
icon_id = weather_obj['currently']['icon']
And for news: in NewsHeadline.init
self.eventName = event_name
self.eventNameLbl = Label(self, text=self.eventName, font=('Helvetica', tiny_text_size), fg="white", bg="black",justify=LEFT,anchor=W)
self.eventNameLbl.pack(side=LEFT, anchor=N)
in News.get_headlines
for post in feed.entries[1:6]:
title=post.title
start=0
while len(title[start:len(title)])>100 and title.count(' ',start+90):
start=title.find(' ',start+90)
title=title[0:start]+'\n'+title[start+1:len(title)]
headline = NewsHeadline(self.headlinesContainer, title)
headline.pack(side=TOP, anchor=W)
Adjust the hardcoded numbers to work for you. I suggest the threshold value be a bit larger than the count index (ex 100, 90)
See above
Everything worked when horizontal, moved to vertical Display_rotate=1 and loaded and looks like in the mirror. Please advise thanks!
