-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 From the theme file format documentation: > ‘id’ > > The identifier for the component. This can be any arbitrary string. The ID can be used by scripts to refer to various components in the GUI component tree. Currently, there is one special ID value that GRUB recognizes: > > “__timeout__“ > > Component with this ID will be updated by GRUB and will indicate time elapsed to an automatical boot of the default entry. Affected components: “label“, “circular_progress“, “progress_bar“. My proposal is that we add another specially recognized ID value for labels, “__time__”, that displays the current date and time, updating every second like labels with the “__timeout__” ID. If I were to submit a patch that achieves this, would it be accepted? — Corinthe -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: ProtonMail wrsEARYKAG0Fgml9ILwJEJJKX2rwUeh8RRQAAAAAABwAIHNhbHRAbm90YXRp b25zLm9wZW5wZ3Bqcy5vcmdzUcn5nzioUDFzgVd682kPEOMrN7tjFypI/i4A 1s0W6RYhBEXpnmpARmZ7VJMq/ZJKX2rwUeh8AAAbcQD+P0kXisiS5+gVT982 6SBzgpIxh70T0q9Fh9y7ywNC5n8A/37iIoBAgiasr0e427cELM+NjiMTAKMU /33y21ZYArEL =rhmf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
