splashscreen.sh "enable/disable" wording

BuZz

@sleve_mcdichael I'm happy for this to be changed to something clearer.

mitu

Yes, seems confusing. How about

Show splashscreen on boot (Enabled)
vs
Show splashscreen on boot (Disabled)

@mitu ah, I just put this in a minute ago. I had also considered that but figured this was less change from the original (only changing "disable" to say "enable" vs. changing both of them to say "show"), but I can change it if you want.

@sleve_mcdichael You change doesn't reflect the re-wording you had in mind.

What do you mean?

I thought it was missing Enable splashscreen on boot (disabled) when disabled, but it was already there.

Seems to be ok, but I'd rather not repeat Enabled and use Show splashcreen.

@mitu yeah I'm good with "show splashscreen." How about for the randomizer? "Show randomizer" doesn't really fit; how about "toggle"? (Edit: or "use"?)

Randomize image order or Shuffle images ?

@mitu I had a few more ideas which turned out to be relatively easy to implement. What do you think of this:

What do you think of this:

I'd rather have the UI code stay the gui_ function instead of splitting it into separate functions - the actions behind the menu options are simple enough to be added inline in the menu's case handler so that are easy to follow.

The randomize_ code was already largely a separate function; I suppose that could all be rolled into gui_ as well, but in either case I feel it's more intuitive to have "disable randomizer" merely as one of the options instead of a separate action that's invoked automatically when it's enabled; for instance it makes changing the source easier, as you no longer have to disable first & then scroll back down & re-enable to change your selection, just enter the menu once and make a different choice.

I rolled the other UI stuff back into gui_ though:

The randomizer change is ok, but the separate sub-menu for enable/disable is redundant - just clicking on the entry should toggle it, like most menus in RetroPie-Setup.

Yeah okay. This had felt clunky to me as a toggle (which is why I changed it to a choice, initially), but I think that by adding "currently:" to the descriptor (á la runcommand configuration) it feels fine now, as a toggle still:

@sleve_mcdichael Looks good !
