What is wrong with Droidscript

[jaymen...@googlemail.com]

The background image doesnt display properly, i turned off the icons and the text on the buttons is so small and for some reason isnt centered in the button but aligned to the left and rght sides of the screen. I tried to change the font size and it doesnt work i have to press were the green arrow is if i want to change the font size.

why is literally everything centered in the middle of the screen, im looking through samples and its exactly the same there why not fill the screen and align things from the top.

The Wifi Editor doesnt always work i keep getting access denied, when i finally get into it, an alert pops up that seems to be detecting swipes on my trackpad, looking at the samples here so many of them dont even have any code. I mean Hello World literally has no code whatsoever its almost like the app and the wifi editor are completely broken.

I just paid for premium yesterday thinking i would have a better experience but nothing works or displays properly. I get the app UI is likely  built with JS but surely you could of designed and coded it better

HI,

One of the screen prints seems to be DS settings.

"No icons" turns off icons on the DS home and edit screens.

You have to close and open DS to see changes.

You can't make other changes to DS screens 

(except Light/Dark).

Android font setting has an effect.

DS settings shouldn't affect your apps.

On my tablet the DS top left and top right icons are half off the screen.

Layout has options for top/bottom/left/right/hcenter/vcenter,

and method to SetChildTextSize.

Controls also have methods to SetTextSize.

What version of DS and Android?

Can you run GetDeviceSpecs and paste results here.

Hi Alan cheers for replying, i dont think your understanding me both screenshots are from the Droidscript app itself im not trying to alter that, i know what no icons does what im saying is when i turn the icons off (i restarted)  the text in the buttons in the top bar that say Left Drawer and Right Drawer are literally positioned on the edges of the screen with the amount of free space available in that top bar i would expect the buttons to be wider and center those texts basically the actual Droidscript UI is not scaling properly, on my phone the text Right Drawer is cut off will try to post a screenshot of how it looks on my phone.

You can't make other changes to DS screens  - i dont know what you mean by this im not trying to change anything there

Android font setting has an effect. - My system font shouldnt be effecting a non system app on my device, anyways i have tried changing the font but it doesnt make a difference 

Layout has options for top/bottom/left/right/hcenter/vcenter - i know but im talking about the design of Droidscript the developer seems to always center everything vertically resulting in a pointless margin around the layout it makes more sense to me to align things from the top of the screen downwards, most of the samples are even centering things in the middle of the screen its a weird design choice.

and method to SetChildTextSize. - im not trying to edit the Droidscript app UI

Droidscript version is below devices are both on Android 16

HI,

I'm a user and tester.

On my phone the top left and top right icons (or text)  are OK,

but on my tablet they are partly off the screen.

I'm hoping that the additional details will help the development team to 

resolve.

FWIW Portrait orientation is even worse

HI,

Iin settings there's font size which affects the edit screen 

(not the settings screen itself).

The settings screen is actually written in DS (/Sys/DroidScript.js)

It's layout was just a design choice

dlgSet = app.CreateDialog( T("Settings") );
dlgSet.SetBackColor( "#2E3134" );

//Create a scroller and layout.
var scrollSet = app.CreateScroller();
dlgSet.AddLayout( scrollSet );
laySet = app.CreateLayout( "linear", "vertical,Center,FillXY" );

Just to be clear, do you mean Hello World on the DS home screen or

top right icon then rocket icon?

I know what that does

Yeah i had a feeling it was im guessing most if not all of the DS app is.

Just to be clear, do you mean Hello World on the DS home screen or top right icon then rocket icon?

In the wifi editor, when i press on the rocket icon the first sample called Hello World has no sample code, theres a lot of samples that dont have code, im assuming its actually there but just not visible to me for some reason. Il give it another go when im back at my computer later maybe it was just a temporary network glitch, maybe something to do with the homepage error i was getting.
