Uhm...
Just a preview of how 0.1.3 is gonna look like...

Sometimes ... you win...

http://i48.tinypic.com/ke7khd.png

Sometimes ... you lose...

http://i47.tinypic.com/2vn4bc9.png

And sometimes ... it just ... rains!!!

Now only your fantasy and artistic skill are your boundaries ... :D

As soon as I can have some sleep ... I'll try to prepare a tutorial about how I made MLBeecon.

Ciao, No!No!No!Yes!

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

... and Hot Stove for www.tvrage.com TV Series Beecon in the brewery!!!

Still internal testing for 0.1.3...

Change Log:

* New: Added possibility to show or hide both snippet's image/text and beecon image/text. This way you can have two images and two text placeholders on widget, for more flexibility in graphic layout
* New: Added supplementary images/icons directory storage "~/Mydocs/.images/queen_beecon_dir". If images/icons without path are not found here then they are searched in "~/.queen_beecon_dir". For easier population via USB of BLUETOOTH File Services.
* New: Added functions in Advanced Maintenance Dialog Box: instance export/import w/ checksum, command export/import w/ checksum, command update with current Test Drive buffer, clipboard operations
* New: Added some confirmation dialogs for critical operations and some notification messages
* New: Added possibility to use different images/icons for Command Exit Statuses >=3 . Basically the Exit Status value will be appended to a fixed image filename and relevant image will be loaded (ex. "queen-beecon-status.png.3" ... 4 ... 5 ...)
* New: Basic Images/Icons for Snippets and Beecon Statuses incorporated into .deb package and installed inside canonical hildon hicolor 48x48 directory
* Bugfixing: Fixed size and positioning of controls in Advanced Maintenance Dialog Box
* Bugfixing: Removed directory purge in "rmnobraco.sh" script
* Bugfixing: Checked and removed some memory leaks and resources deallocation (were causing hildon-home desktop to crash on instance disposal)
* Changed: Restyle and lots of optimization in Settings Dialog Box UI layout
* Changed: Widget's fill gradients when background is enabled
* Changed: Restyle in Advanced Maintenance Dialog Box interface, now more functional and user friendly
* Changed: When opening Advanced Maintenance Dialog Box, command in current instance is automatically copied to the TestDrive command text box
* Changed: Advanced Maintenance Dialog Box changed font to Monospace Bold for the three text views for inproved visibility

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

WARNING! Feel free to play with this software, but be aware that this is software under development. For further info please READ THIS!!!

0.1.3 now in extras-devel ... stick with this ... as it is the most stable of all around. Don't bother with 0.1.1 in extras-testing as it has been demoted for too much instability.

As I promised I just need some spare time to write a little tutorial for the MLBeecon or the TV Rage Beecon ... stay tuned.

[HowTo] Import Procedure for Beecon Exported Instance Data

Make sure you have already copied into your phone's clipboard the Beecon Exported Instance Data

Then three usual and basic steps to instantiate the Widget:

http://i42.tinypic.com/6hlrh4.png
http://i41.tinypic.com/oq92yc.png
http://i42.tinypic.com/2ebualz.png
Now click on the Settings Wrench Icon and we reach the Settins Dialog.
Click on the "Advanced" button (1)
http://i42.tinypic.com/2vxpqo6.png
Confirm that we are PROFESSIONALS :) and we know what we are doing. Button (1)
http://i43.tinypic.com/ab0cnb.png
We reach the Advanced Settings and Tools Dialog Box... scroll down to the bottom.
http://i41.tinypic.com/4h9sgz.png
We reach following screen. If we press Button (1), we paste our Exported Instance Data into the Import/Export buffer, ready to be processed.
http://i42.tinypic.com/ejzpdt.png
After the Import Buffer is filled with Import Data, let's click on Import Snippet/Beecon Button (1)
http://i40.tinypic.com/14xkqx5.png
And confirm we really want to Import our Instance
http://i41.tinypic.com/2m43vxf.jpg
SUCCESS!!! We have now imported our Exported Instance.
http://i44.tinypic.com/15y87xd.png
Let's dismiss the warning and, after imported data is reloaded, we will be back at our Instance Settings Dialog Box. You'll see the new instance data [Buttons (1)(2)(3)(4))
And we start our newly created Beecon by saving data and running with Button (5)
http://i43.tinypic.com/1zwya3c.png

And now proceed with instance specific post-import steps!!!
