Support for: 7″ Touchscreen Monitor for Raspberry Pi

[hondagx35]

Hi all,

the image is nearly ready for distribution.

I had to wait for the newest kernel to be able to switch the display on and off.
I also have to implement a screen keyboard for the settings pages.
Please give me two to three days for testing.

Awesome, me too

What other changes will be released as part of the new image?

Hi Frank,

Sorry for bombarding you with questions but...

Is it possible to hide the scroll bar when showing the IU on the touchscreen when not scrolling? In the same fashion that Safari does on a Mac & iPad?

I have seen a few videos with peeps using the touchscreen with Rune (on a separate Pi) and when the browser was in kiosk mode you could still see some chrome such as the scroll bars always being present even when there was nothing to scroll.

Might seem like a strange request but I am intending on mounting the display inside a hi fi style case to make it look like an appliance rather than a 'computer' and the display with be mostly used to display track information and would look odd with a scroll bar permanently there.

Thanks,

Guy
