Hello,

many thanks to all who have worked on that perfect firmware. One question regarding the CPS and RT3S. The RT3S has a display of 160x128 BMP resolution with 256 colors (8bit). Would it be possible to load such boot image as PNG-file in an adapted CPS?

Best regards

I already use an opening image on the Radio's start screen, just load the file in the CPS, in OpenGD77 Support, editing the image in . png

Best Regards

I'm doing something wrong, the colors are not showing, only B/W

The firmware only supports black and white images.

Although the screen on the MDUV380 is a colour screen most of the code was written for radios with black and white screens. Adding general support for colour needs a lot of re-writing and increases the memory usage.

Apart from colour images needing 8 times as much memory, the other problem is for people multiple radios, and use the same codeplug.

If the image was in colour in the codeplug, it would not work on the GD77, and automatic conversion from colour to bitmap is not possible

Would it be possible to provide a 160x128 b/w png-picture instead of 128x64 for the upload into the rig in order to use the whole display frame of the RT3S? I have two RT3S, one has a white background and the other a black background while booting up. So I have to use two different inverted logos.
