Please add shadowing or some sort of background color effect to make the text easier to read. Thx.

marijnkampf commented 5 years ago

That's already there by default...

PhantomMod commented 5 years ago

How about a thicker shadow which covers all sides of the text then?

EDIT 2: Also how about adding the ability to change the font size? I can't find any settings option for that.

From the FAQ at http://www.abscreensavers.com/random-photo-screensaver/faq/

Can I adjust the font/colour/location/size of the filename/clock/metadata? Yes, you can but there is some editing of files required.

Rename or copy custom.monitor.css to custom.monitor.css (Note that the underscore () has been removed from the beginning of the filename!) and edit the file in Notepad or another text editor.

For Windows Vista, 7, 8/8.1, 10:

File location: %programdata%\Random Photo Screensaver\data\css_custom.monitor.css Rename to: %programdata%\Random Photo Screensaver\data\css\custom.monitor.css (If you've used RPS version 4.2 or earlier your files could still be in %localappdata%\Random Photo Screensaver) For Windows XP:

File location: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Random Photo Screensaver\data\css_custom.monitor.css Rename to: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Random Photo Screensaver\data\css\custom.monitor.css (If you've used RPS version 4.2 or earlier your files could still be in C:\Documents and Settings[Username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Random Photo Screensaver) The file has detailed comment in and should guide you along. For quick testing open %programdata%\Random Photo Screensaver\data\monitor.html in your browser and use F5 to refresh page after saving your changes. Once you are happy run RPS to confirm everything is as you like it.

Let me know if you have any issues! I'd like to know the kind of customisations you make, please send me your custom.monitor.css so I can have look. I might include it as a default or alternative settings in a future versions!

Note on multi-monitor systems To target a specific monitor use .monitor#, for example to show the filename on monitor 2 in the top right corner use:

.monitor2 #filename { left: auto; right: 0.25em; }

Hi marijnkampf. Sorry for the late response! I'm not very active on GitHub. Your instructions really helped. In the file you pointed out, there's a setting for the background color and that's exactly what I needed to adjust. Now I have a black background for all text and it's much easier to read. I also increased the font size. Since you asked, here are my customizations: https://pastebin.com/m4vM26YJ

I have another issue though. When I discovered your photo rating feature, I used it straight for several days. Now all that shows up in my screensaver are the pictures I rated. Is there a way to delete these ratings or allow for a higher percentage of non-rated photos to be displayed? Thanks.

marijnkampf commented 5 years ago

It should display any photo, regardless of rating. Do you have any filters enabled? If so make sure to disable them.

PhantomMod commented 5 years ago

I don't have any filters enabled.

Sorry I missed your still open issue. Are you still having the same issue?
