Well...at least this gives you the opportunity to make "Elite: Dangerous - Countdown 2.0"

Indeed! Good idea! :D

I like the wallpaper. Any chance of disabling the countdown? Judging by this week's actions, I'd be impressed if March 1st even sees Beta 1.

Well, the original idea was to update the timer if/when a another release date is put forward. As it stands the timer will start counting up again from March 1st - but, I guess I could always have an option to disable the timer if people want to use the app as a wallpaper switcher? Interesting! :)

Quick question for tablet users: does the widget look okay in portrait & landscape modes - I'm not entirely convinced my emulator is telling me the truth! :rolleyes:

I've only used it in landscape mode. I will check portrait mode for you later.

lol i had the same problem, it would be really quiet and suddenly a very load Blue Danube would come ghostly from the other side of the room on my tablet...i knew to that it was on the hour(good time piece!)

Anyway i went to the app itself and unticked *change sound* then untick *change notifications* that seemed to have helped me.

A-ha! I figured it out - the sound hasn't been set as a notification sound, so when it plays any volume levels you may have set are ignored.

I'll make a note of it for a future update. In the meantime, like The Lone Gunman says, you can disable the sound in the settings menu.

Thanks for the heads up! Much appreciated! :)

A fix is winging its way to you all as I type! :D

Give it a few hours for google to update their servers.

So, ummm... here's a question:

If I were to release another update, what should the countdown timer be counting down to?

Or should I just leave it and let you pick your own?

:S

Put in premium beta as default, but leave it configurable. Add an alarm (if there isn't one already) that plays "An der schonen blauen Donau" and we can use it for smaller stuff like next ED Twitch broadcast if we want.

Sounds like a plan Gimi! :) 30th May for Premium Beta, yes?

I'll see how much of An der schonen blauen Donau I can squeeze in without making the app too large!

Thanks! :)

Yes, 30th of May for Premium beta.
Alternative is to let us choose what it plays. I know I have An der schonen blauen Donau on my phone.
Would also remove any issues with copyright etc...

so many other wallpapers you can use, obviously you have decided not to use the collection from this thread.

Interesting idea - would keep the size down. :)

Hey, don't get me wrong - there's some great wallpapers there, but I wanted to include as many "official" frontier wallpapers and/or E: D screenshots as possible, without making the app unnecessarily large. But since I've found myself removing older wallpaper/screenshots to make room for new ones and I'm always happy to accommodate people's suggestions, I'll see if I can't squeeze a few of your wallpapers in. ;)
