I thought about this quite a bit and think the reason that the ABC layouts are used is that every locale has a slightly different keyboard layout so international corps are afraid of the QWERTY approach not fitting anyone but the UK/US folks.

Would that really save much time/effort?

Currently its a dropdown menu of string entries only.

1.
I would like to support integer values as well in the future where just one item appears in the parameter menu and the value changes as the knob is turned.

Can create visual concept if required.

2.
boolean options with checkbox (on /off)
no menu should open here when clicked, just the checkbox checked/unchecked

Well done @BAndiT1983 and @panintended

I am back to the black screen now.

latest commits add:

• dimming of background to give visual focus to popupmenu
• automatic resizing - matching the choices
• alignment to right side of menu
• display of current value in the settingsmenu
• parametermenu normally opens "upwards" from the selected entry but if that entry is further up leaving not enough space for the popup the parameter menu is pushed down automatically.

many thanks @BAndiT1983 !

fixed with https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/AXIOM-Remote/commit/995dcbafd0fd9e7bc465b21f304694ffcf4fdc94

I solved it, should I push?

panintended what is your hardware setup (GPU) exactly?

The structure should allow for different datatypes in the future.

@BAndiT1983 has evaluated the ILI9341 backlight control to be working sufficiently well:

Research shows that this is a problem that only happens with or is caused by the debugpainter.

clean up

Just compiled and flashed it:

Yes please!

The ILI9341 datasheet (https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/datasheets/ILI9341.pdf ) mentions support for "Vertical Scrolling" which would be great as it's a hardware feature and thus presumably would work rather fast.
The directions seem to be limited so the hardware acceleration will not work for every direction/effect.

Sorry if the title was confusing, just updated it.

Agreed!

seems to have solved itself :)

not possible at this stage

We chose USB-C as AXIOM Remote connector as its widely available, mechanically solid, cheap and also connects the remote to any pc.

please elaborate on the "colored" monochrome output mode, not clear for me yet.

new firmware has been built, testing if the fix is working there as well is still to be done.
