AutoTools [QUESTION] WebScreen icon/button change

I usually help people over on Reddit but figured as this is more specific, to pop over here as well.

As Tasker cannot remember icons/images in scenes between rom reinstalls, I thought I might try WebScreens with the 'bottom buttons' template as it allows multi selection of icons.

My current Tasker scene-based sidebars allow for the icon to change upon a press or global variable so as to show what state that toggle is in.

Do any of you lovely people know if/how to reproduce this in AutoTools WebScreen?

Huge thanks in advance if anyone can spare a few seconds.

 

Hey buddy,

Greetings from England!

Appreciate your response. I've got the change on click sorted, it was more changing/colourizing the image based on a Tasker toggle variable, prior to the WebSscreen appearing.

I forced myself upon AutoTools Webscreens shortly after I began rebuilding my sidebar toggler that I used to have in a series of Scenes before I Ilost everything somehow. (Can't believe no one out there has ever created a GUI pretty toggler for all their Tasker projects/tasks, as I find it imperative so as to fully utilize Tasker on a daily basis - maybe I will build an app for it one day.)

Anyways, the attached image shows the beginning of the rebuild in Scenes before I started in AutoTools. Effectively the first column slides in and each button can either be a toggle or open a second column and then third, fourth and so on. With 9 rows and 6 columns, that's 100's of icons/images that need re-allocating upon each rom re-install.(Shame Android doent make it easier for the images to not require re-linking as as far as I can tell, that renders anything GUI based like Scenes, WebScreens, etc. not usable for projects like this.)



Also within your 'Bottom Buttons' template, upon multi selecting a bunch of images to add as icons, they appear in random order and cannot be drag re-arranged like in the Material Tasker Plugin, so woudn't be saving any time when re-linking.

Am guessing none of this is easily achievable. I did briefly check out 'autoToolsUpdateValues(values)' from your Github but stuff like that is sadly a bit beyond my knowledge. Is that the only way to push a varible in to change an image prior to the WebScreen launch.

I can't work out if this is worth persisting with or to find an alternative solution.

Cheers for everything by the way!

 

Joao, when you say that you have to issue the AutoTools Webscreen action again when the variable updates, what's the best way to do that? If I use the variable set event in a profile to trigger the Webscreen, it will open too often when I don't need it.
