Feature request: allow relative beside absolute positions for overlays

Hello @hudiy:
are there any chances to get relative x and y positions beside or instead of absolute x and y positions for the overlays?

I've created two overlays that i may want to share. If i positioned the overlays with 800x480 as resolution and a other user has for example 1280x720 the overlay will be somewhere else and not in the bottom bar anymore :-/

I've also tried to put the overlay like fullscreen and moved the div to the position i want. So like a fullscreen with transparent background and just the tile is shown in the bottom bar. That worked pretty well, but then i cannot use mouse or touch in hudiy because i can not click threw the html side.

Waiting for your reply :-) Thanks!

Now:

Code: Select all

  "width" : 280,
  "height" : 55,
  "x" : 260,
  "y" : 416,
  
CSS example:

Code: Select all

  "width": "35vw",
  "height": "11.46vh",
  "x": "32.5vw",
  "y": "86.67vh"

Hello,
Thanks for the idea. We will check the possibilities soon and will update this thread. It should be doable but we need to think how to design this properly.

We have already prepared an internal proof of concept for this feature. It still requires some testing but should be available with the February release.

Hello Hudiy,
was this already rolled out?
I couldn*t find anything about that in the notes.

Thanks!

We are slightly behind schedule due to work on the Pi Zero 2, Pi 3B and Pi 3B+. We had to speed up the porting work because of the RAM market crisis, but this feature should be available around 2.14.
