openlp-custom-stageview

An OpenLP Custom Stage View based on the starter ZIP file provided by OpenLP.

Customisations include:

• larger margins at the edges
• a better-proportioned, more sophisticated and therefore more readable font (Noto Sans)
• larger font size for better readability
  • 60px for the current slide
  • 45px for the upcoming slides
• header containing the verse order and the clock is managed as a flexbox rather than a float for better control when the verse order is long enough to wrap
• meta slides displayed in a smaller font (14px)

Setup

1. Locate the OpenLP data folder using the menu option Tools > Open Data Folder
2. Inside the data folder, create a folder named stages if it doesn’t already exist
3. Inside the stages folder, create a folder which will be the name of your custom view, for example mycustom1
4. Download the files from this GitHub project and place them into the folder mycustom1
5. In a web browser, browse the address http://your-openlp-ip-address:4316/stage/mycustom1,

Meta Slides

Many songs in our database include meta information about the song on slides tagged with a verse type of Intro or Other. Slides containing meta information are rendered in a much smaller font size. This custom stage view identifies meta slides as those:

• with a verse type of Intro or Other, and
• which contain any of the following strings:
  • ©
  • ccli
  • lyrics
  • music
  • publish
