Distinguish between "displayed" and "not displayed" service items

[Andreas Preikschat]

Hello,

(http://openlp.org/en/forums/general-support/development/feature-request-make-selected-entry-service-manager-more-visible)

Currently we have the list of service items and the person controlling OpenLP goes from one service item to the next. However, there is no visual distinction between already "displayed" and "not displayed" service items.

Possible solution:

#1
Make all new service items bold by default. Once displayed they should not be bold any longer. In addition we can have an icon to mark the service item as "not displayed" or "displayed". Just like you can mark emails read/unread in thunderbird (see image).

#2
As #1, but do not have an icon

#3
Just make the current service item bold

There are probably other solutions as well....

Cheers

I say whatever makes it the most visible. Please keep in mind different themes (dark) and what they do to the lines. You want to be sure bold is visible on a dark theme.

*Only* marking items not yet viewed does not always help with knowing which item is currently active, since one might go back to a previous entry, then the active one is not the one directly before the first unviewed.

I'm not sure marking items as Unviewed would help... we go through the songs before the service so they would all be marked as done, and if we hop around a bit or show the wrong song by mistake it could get confusing.

Making the current song bold though would be helpful.

For that case we could have this green button/icon/overlay (like in
thunderbird) to mark/swap the item's state.

OK, that is fine, as long as the currently displayed item is highlighted differently.
