Countdown text placement and feature request

[warwickwater]

I think you really want to keep the preview video right at the top, assuming you are mounting the camera above the screen. Regardless of what you say onscreen (drunk) people will always just watch themselves on preview, and you want their eyes as close as possible to the lens.

Onscreen design comes secondary to the overall look of the finished prints (just my opinion)

Is it possible to choose where the "text displayed while counting down" is located on the screen? I'd really like to put it further up the page to work with the page design I have.

Also a feature request for some future release - can you make the Photobutton window able to minimized so it doesn't need to be on/behind screen at all times?

Thanks

It isn't possible to control the placement of the countdown text at the moment. Currently it is always placed in the middle of the space below the live view window. It's tricky to get the right balance between simplicity, flexibility and configurability.

The photobooth button utility needs to be running in order to detect button presses and pass them on to the photobooth software but it doesn't need to be the active window. You can always move it to the side of the screen if it's in the way. Surely it doesn't matter where it is once full screen photo booth mode is selected?
