Title: VFD/OLED support
Post by: Efjay on August 13, 2008, 10:15:32 am

Are there any plans for version 13 to have VFD/OLED suport? Many of the higher end cases are now coming with such displays or are available to have such a display installed.

It's not perfect but a 3rd party LCDSmartie plugin was written for MC a while back. Details here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=27585.0 (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=27585.0)

I actually use this myself but like I said, it's somewhat unstable at times.

I'd certainly appreciate in-built support one day for sure.

I used it with mixed results and I remember having to delete it. Considering the level of detail the OLEDs provide, native support would be great instead of showing just the date or time or cpu temperature (nobody cares about that).
