|
||||
the default Calamares icons and a as start-page splash it provides a
|
||||
tag-cloud view of languages. The slideshow is a basic one with a few
|
||||
slides of text and a single image. No translations are provided.
|
||||
- `fancy/` uses translations and offers navigation arrows. These are
|
||||
provided by the standard Calamares QML classes.
|
||||
- `samegame/` is a similarly simple branding setup for Generic Linux,
|
||||
but instead of a slideshow, it lets the user play Same Game (clicking
|
||||
colored balls) during the installation. The game is taken from the
|
||||
QML examples provided by the Qt Company.
|
||||
- `fancy/` uses translations and offers navigation arrows.
|
||||
|
||||
Since the slideshow can be **any** QML, it is limited only by your designers
|
||||
imagination and your QML experience. For straightforward presentations,
|
||||
see the documentation below.
|
||||
|
||||
## Presentation
|
||||
|
||||
The default QML classes provided by Calamares can be used for a simple
|
||||
and straightforward "slideshow" presentation with static text and
|
||||
pictures. To use the default slideshow classes, start with a `show.qml`
|
||||
file with the following content:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
import QtQuick 2.5;
|
||||
import calamares.slideshow 1.0;
|
||||
|
||||
Presentation
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: presentation
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After the *id*, set properties of the presentation as a whole. These include:
|
||||
- *loopSlides* (default true) When set, clicking past the last slide
|
||||
returns to the very first slide.
|
||||
- *mouseNavigation*, *arrowNavigation*, *keyShortcutsEnabled* (all default
|
||||
true) enable different ways to navigate the slideshow.
|
||||
- *titleColor*, *textColor* change the look of the presentation.
|
||||
- *fontFamily*, *codeFontFamily* change the look of text in the presentation.
|
||||
|
||||
After setting properties, you can add elements to the presentation.
|
||||
Generally, you will add a few presentation-level elements first,
|
||||
then slides.
|
||||
- For visible navigation arrows, add elements of class *ForwardButton* and
|
||||
*BackwardButton*. Set the *source* property of each to a suitable
|
||||
image. See the `fancy/` example. It is recommended to turn off other
|
||||
kinds of navigation when visible navigation is used.
|
||||
- To indicate where the user is, add an element of class *SlideCounter*.
|
||||
This indicates in "n / total" form where the user is in the slideshow.
|
||||
- To automatically advance the presentation (for a fully passive slideshow),
|
||||
add a timer that calls the `goToNextSlide()` function of the presentation.
|
||||
See the `default/` example -- remember to start the timer when the
|
||||
presentation is completely loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
After setting the presentation elements, add one or more Slide elements.
|
||||
The presentation framework will make a slideshow out of the Slide
|
||||
elements, displaying only one at a time. Each slide is an element in itself,
|
||||
so you can put whatever visual elements you like in the slide. They have
|
||||
standard properties for a boring "static text" slideshow, though:
|
||||
- *title* is text to show as slide title
|
||||
- *centeredText* is displayed in a large-ish font
|
||||
- *writeInText* is displayed by "writing it in" to the slide,
|
||||
one letter at a time.
|
||||
- *content* is a list of things which are displayed as a bulleted list.
|
||||
|
||||
The presentation classes can be used to produce a fairly dry slideshow
|
||||
for the installation process; it is recommended to experiment with the
|
||||
visual effects and classes available in QtQuick.
