I made a controls reference widget you can put in your tool tray! Inspired by @fletch_pico's pomodoro.p64 and color reference widgets.

The installation steps below is just copied from pomodoro.p64:

Installation

In a terminal:

1. load #controls_ref
2. save controls_ref.p64 (save anywhere you like, I personally have mine at /appdata/local/tooltray/controls_ref.p64)

Then, open up /appdata/system/startup.lua (or create the file if you haven't yet).
Add the following line:

create_process("/path/to/your/controls_ref.p64", {window_attribs = {workspace = "tooltray", x=2, y=2, width=94, height=99}})

You can edit the x= and y= coordinates to be whatever you like, but be sure that width and height is 94x99.

Restart Picotron and enjoy your new widget!

Edit (1/31/25): Fixed step 2 in installation

So glad it inspired you! Might wanna edit step 2 to reference your file rather than pomodoro.p64 ;) great work!!

Thanks a lot!! I'll fix that part lol

Here's a couple modifications to support installation by drag and drop.

In _init, launch as a window and initialize mouse buttons

mb,prev_mb=0,0
window(94, 99)

In _update, send a grab event when left mouse button is pressed (to support moving the widget once it's in the toolbar)

prev_mb=mb
mx,my,mb=mouse()
if mb~=prev_mb and (mb&1)==1 then send_message(3, {event="grab"}) end

In _draw, set the color 0 to be transparent

poke(0x547d, 0xff)
cls(0)
