Widgets: Option to choose betwen w/b and color display

[rugk]

I think for dark backgrounds it would also be useful to have the black/white display in the Widget. It should be choosable per widget.

Unfortunately it seems like it's not possible to apply the color filter I use to the Widget's Image, since Android handles Widgets in quite a weird way :/

Also Related to this. the alt text in the widget is un-readable on dark backgrounds.

im working on a fix, dont get your hopes up though

if tom wouldn't mind walking me through how images are loaded into the widget

[tom-anders]

Basically, the layout contains an image view

Easy_xkcd/app/src/main/res/layout/widget_latest_layout.xml

Lines 18 to 27 in 557fec6

	<ImageView
	android:id="@+id/ivComic"
	android:layout_width="match_parent"
	android:layout_height="match_parent"
	android:layout_below="@id/tvTitle"
	android:layout_above="@+id/tvAlt"
	android:layout_gravity="center"
	android:paddingBottom="5dp"
	android:paddingLeft="10dp"
	android:paddingRight="10dp" />

and I use Glide to load the images into it:

Easy_xkcd/app/src/main/java/de/tap/easy_xkcd/widget/WidgetLatestProvider.java

Lines 93 to 105 in 557fec6

	if (comic != null) {
	newestComicNumber = comic.getComicNumber();
	GlideApp.with(context)
	.asBitmap()
	.load(comic.getUrl())
	.into(appWidgetTarget);
	String title = prefHelper.widgetShowComicNumber() ? (newestComicNumber + ": ") : "";
	remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.tvTitle, title + comic.getTitle());
	remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.tvAlt, comic.getAltText());
	if (prefHelper.widgetShowAlt())
	remoteViews.setViewVisibility(R.id.tvAlt, View.VISIBLE);
	}

Is that the same process that the main app uses? Where does the inversion happen usually.
