Built-in namebadge app

[thinkl33t]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We should have a built-in namebadge app which automatically activates when the menu has been idle for an amount of time (15s?)

Describe the solution you'd like

• Namebadge app
• Use 'backgrounds' so that background image matches everywhere else
• Name pulled from settings
• Maybe pronouns pulled from settings too?
• Scale text to fit the screen width

Hmm - thinking about this, maybe we could have another app type - namebadge / screensaver, which would be started automatically when the menu has been idle for x seconds.

That will allow people to write their own, and we can ship a simple one with the badge firmware. There are already a number of namebadge / avatar apps so we'd have some good examples to start with.

That's a good idea. And the settings allow you to select the active one?

Yep, same as the pattens.

I was wondering about doing this for a battery app, so it can launch on boot also. We could also just have apps set themselves as the default on launch, so it feels persistent.
