I have written a few plugins (you've got two or three of them at the moment) and the problem I have come across several times is strings on buttons.
OK, I know that you can set the string using the message number (from the language file) but...
> It could do with some simple, generic ones like (off the top of my head) - Server, Client, Host, Port, Dim, Bright, Group, Item, Event. (Probably lots of others but you get the idea.)
I haven't tried, but I think I can use the message number to change the text on the button 'on-the-fly'.
(So why does the TV On button still say TV On rather than TV Off? I know it's a toggle button but then it should just have TV.)
Sometimes Ihave resorted to making these config options for my plugins, but that is not very clean and makes it a lot harder to keep things consistent.
Other times I have edited the language file - but that quite rightly gets overwritten on an upgrade.
So how could I request extra strings to be put into the message file?
Oh, another, related, thing. I have a simple clock interface for which I use a huge font size (75, Franklin - nice and clear, seemed to be the biggest I could use too) - for this I edit the fonts.xml file.
So could I get this giant font added to the fonts.xml?
What poor person has the authority to add things (and get continually moaned at probably)?
