From the forthcoming version 5.3 of the Loader you will be able to customise the Train List, the Show Timetable window, and the Simplifier via CSS in the Options window. A reference to the elements available is in the Wiki. This won't be the final version as I'm sure people will want some new features, which can be discussed here.

Version 5.3 is now available via the updater. Can I draw members attention to these two wiki pages: Where do I edit the CSS? What fields can I edit? "Passengers for New Lane, should be seated in the rear coach of the train " - Opinions are my own and not those of my employer Log in to reply |

if I modify the CSS to use a non standard font (I have all the historical BR Fonts installed on my laptop) will it still recognise them?

Works fine as long as you get the font name correct.

I think you may need to put it in words of one syllable for all of us non-developer types. Do I need an external CSS editor? Where do I find "the tab" and the such like. I'm by no means computer illiterate but I can't immediately see how we perform the editing process.

For some experimental playing around, it might be an idea to start with the simplifier, since you can use the "Show in web browser" button to load the HTML in your favourite browser and then use its developer tools for playing around with the CSS and getting some immediate visual feedback.

Is it possible to remove the 'Status' row from the 'Show Timetable' window using the CSS? I'm happy with my current solution of setting the background and text colours the same, but I'd prefer a full removal if possible.

For some reason the borders of the neighbouring cells don't properly merge, though, so I'm left with an extra-thick border between "Characteristics" and "Last reported delay". Has anybody had more success in that regard?

Out of interest, will people be able to share their set ups that can automatically update it or will it still require manually inputting.

I have it in mind to mess about with the F2 trainlist design and have in mind something like the attached (done with the help of MS Paint) which would incorporate use of the SimSig font installed on my computer, the idea being to try and imitate the train list screens you get in signalboxes. In order for this to work, however, the writing would always have to be in capital letters: how would I go about achieving that? Dave  Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

Is the Simplifier there is a Column called "Stock" which lists the type of rolling stick used for that train. I'd like to add that information to the timetable window, but I can't figure out what the correct variable name is. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks. Log in to reply |
