Improvements for Files app and statusbar icon (#35)
- Created `tt_get_platform()` to use with more complex platform checks aside from the `ESP_PLATFORM` preprocessor directive
- Expand PC/sim memory to 256k so we can load the max amount of entries in Files without memory issues. I decided to skip the LVGL buffer entirely so it's easier to catch memory leaks.
- Simplified logic in `files_data.c`
- Implement statusbar as a proper widget
- Implement statusbar widget for wifi service
- Implement statusbar widget for sdcard mounting/unmounting

TODOs

  • Update view_port to use ViewPort as handle externally and ViewPortData internally
  • Create more unit tests for tactility-core and tactility (PC-only for now)
  • Have a way to deinit LVGL drivers that are created from HardwareConfig
  • Show a warning screen if firmware encryption or secure boot are off when saving WiFi credentials.
  • Show a warning screen when a user plugs in the SD card on a device that only supports mounting at boot.
  • Try out Waveshare S3 120MHz mode for PSRAM (see "enabling 120M PSRAM is necessary" in docs)
  • Fix for dark theme: the wifi icons should use the colour of the theme (they remain black when dark theme is set)
  • Update Wi-Fi status bar icon based on signal strength
  • Auto-detect sdcard removal (with a service?)

Core Ideas

  • Make a HAL? It would mainly be there to support PC development. It's a lot of effort for supporting what's effectively a dev-only feature.
  • Support for displays with different DPI. Consider the layer-based system like on Android.
  • Display orientation support for Display app
  • If present, use LED to show boot status
  • 2 wire speaker support
  • tt_app_start() and similar functions as proxies for Loader app start/stop/etc.
  • tt_app_set_result() for apps that need to return data to other apps (e.g. file selection)
  • Make a statusbar service that apps can register icons to. Gui can observe its status changes?

App Improvement Ideas

  • Sort desktop apps by name.
  • Light/dark mode selection in Display settings app.
