Is there a way to change the font and display time for message window? #19

Closed bda65hp closed 2 years ago

Hi, Is there a way to easily change de font? "monospace 10" are too small for my eyes. I've changed them in message.c but can you add a configuration option, please? Same for the display time of these window. They sometimes disappear too fast (mainly time). May be a config for the background and foreground color of the message window too?

cagebreak is great :)

No, there is currently no easy way to change the font size, background or display time of the message.

Adding these ideas as a command is a good idea though.

To summarize, the release pertaining to #19 will presumably introduce a command for configuring the cagebreak messages. This command will be able to set the following:

Another, related, idea would be to have an interface for sending arbitrary messages over the socket which are then displayed by cagebreak. This may also be added to the above features.

We're glad to hear that you enjoy cagebreak! Thank you for helping to make it even greater.

Awesome :) Displaying time in locale format (or configurable) will be great too ;)

Yes, once it is possible to send arbitrary messages via cagebreak over the socket it will be possible to have the date be displayed however you like! cheers project-repo

We pushed some code to development implementing this in https://github.com/project-repo/cagebreak/commit/348925e30a350ee5a9ab60e6364f258654a02f68 (configuration) and https://github.com/project-repo/cagebreak/commit/f12a16160c86325258dbed185317300358f7d3d1 (message command). Sorry for not writing this much sooner. However, at least it will be part of the upcoming release.
