Hello BobC and everyone
A — note options for font, size, color, location, would be elaborate.
Font default can be chosen for internationalization support(?)
When I was at first just printing numbers , I picked a font that I like the appearance of the numerals. When expanded to text entry it needs to be a good international font.
The location upper left seems fairly fixed; for a rectangle, the only spot that can be known is the upper left corner. even non left to right languages, i will guess, will need upper left.
color and brilliance would be nice to control. default color gold -ish can be seen on most background.
A font at size72 with a brilliance of 16 out of 255 can look like a dim watermark sort of appearance.(?) This makes notes personal at a user demand Screenshot level when it seems like the note option is well suited to cron jobs.
Absent the ability to change the note settings, (always available in the script. antiX afterall is configurable.) the note text presents a no-nonsense project or machine mark or personalized text.
sum
location fixed, font fixed, pick a lucky color and presume it fixed,
that leaves font size and brilliance maybe we can handle those two variables(?)
When introducing s with variables in antixscreenshotsterbp I considered putting the s as part of the variable name. It was not necessary, because s existed in all options, so the variable is placed after s.
I might trial introducing notes as a variable, like done with s, but put the “–note” option inside the variable. then add note variables for font size and for brilliance, both are number fields. I wait to do the trial; my Desktop is off during two days on the backup generator since storm. When power is restored (promised in six hours) I will write scripts and check out all of BobC’s advances. I was started on doing that when the power went off two days ago, the Desktop blanked., shrug.
