Works great, after setting correct permissions (couldn't save any changes in the GUI) with chown user.users /home/user/.config/MohammadAG (run as root in Xterm).

Works while I'm using a browser too, which is handy for quickly jumping into Emails or Conversations (I use ShortcutD to change song via camera focus long press).

Issue I've found is in the snap below; the black bar appears below the buttons whilst in a browser window (not on the desktop). Probably because the media controls normally take up most of this space. I see you're aware of this MohammadAG. :)

Yeah, and microB's full screen window is non composited so it can't be transparent.

I need to update lots of stuff, just way too busy atm

All good, I figured this was not on your radar given the work on the CSSU. :D

I'm on this one again.
I integrated a 'desktop changer' feature into the mediabar.

also a not pretty facy background, yet.
But I face a problem... the background is not 'solid'.
When I tap an icon on that mediabar and a shortcut/widget (like the conversations widget)
is underneath it, it will start the app under the mediabar...

any hint for the non skilled?^^

It's not a desktop widget, it has a flag set on it (see setAttribute()) so it's always on top, so either hide it when you're not on the desktop (I think there's a gconf key for that) or remove that flag (I doubt it'll stay on the homescreen though).

Oh and I fixed the call thing some time ago, I might push a new version soon I guess, https://gitorious.org/mediabar/media...91ae31f367bab7

Thanks for such a handy app!

My syslog has got a message containing "mediabar respawning too fast, stopped".

When I try to run "exec su - user -c 'exec /opt/mediabar/mediabar'" as root (upstart is supposed to do exactly this, am I right?) i get
Code:

Maemo applications must be run with the run-standalone.sh script!
mediabar: cannot connect to X server

Also, after installation config file was missing; it was created after running /opt/mediabar/mediabar as user.

So everything works fine except autostart at boot. I've got Enhanced BusyBox installed - is this the reason?

Hm, sometimes Media bar is working while the screen is off. Then I can feel it vibrating in my pocket all the time. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
(hope this hasn't been answered yet in one of the many other threads)

Hi! I read the last comment in the topic of the program MediaBar saw a link to the source code, where, as I understand it, the error with the advent of the Bar when you call, but it is only the source code, and not the final version of the program. Can you finish the program until the end, because I know nothing about programming, but the program is very interesting! Thank you!
