MX-23 Raspberry Pi comes out of the garage

Change the spinner is non-trivial. It is in fact a progress indicator. And in a pi400 still shows that something is happening while the system loads.

OK. Reducing the window share of the screen will reduce its impact.

New mxpi works as expected: the deb installs, Flatpak tab is populated and I was able to install Aisleriot with it. All good.

What is your screen resolution

[Jerry3904]

1280x1024

Been outside doing heave yard work, glad to take a break. Beautiful but cold Saturday.

BTW: I wonder if @fehlix might see something about what triggers the piwiz, always good to get a second pair of eyes. I also want to pose the question on the Pi Forum, not yet sure of wording.

good idea.

I also want to identify cached and other data that can be eliminated from final builds. like apt cache data and the like. build-iso gives a pretty good template there.

Back to OOBE: if this line controls the window frame

Code: Select all

     pal.setColor(QPalette::Window, Qt::black);

then maybe using the (comfort?) blue of the default desktop instead would give it a bit of life and tie it to the desktop and anticipate the theme color. Hard to say of course without seeing it...what do you think?

turns out that's the window fill color, not just the frame. I don't thing a frame or border is defined. usually that would be by the window manager, but there isn't one when oobe runs.

I have figured how to reduce the size of the oobe window. I'm playing with about screen height/width divided by 1.5 for the window size.

the window is not resizeable at this stage. that should be using around 44% of the screen real estate, whatever the screen is.

Promising.
