[Announce] Widgets platform -- lockscreen
 

Hi everybody

Some may know me, some may not, but I'm a harmattan developer that is working on a lot of stuff, even if I did not write a lot of "serious" apps, but mostly test apps.

But today, I'm here to show you one of my apps: widgets.

It is actually a platform for developers who want to integrate widgets into their Qt / QML application. It provides nearly all the features that a modern widget engine should have.

To do something useful about that platform, I decided to bring widgets to the harmattan lock screen, since quite a lot of you miss Maemo widgets.

well, i tried this app long ago and i would like to see it's support for plugins in python too, also, it could replace homescreen for opened devices maybe...
it would really be nice to have replacement...
Sfiet_Konstantin, i made nice concept for homescreen and i think it will not be hard to adjust your app to be exactly as i imagined :)

Nice work.Harmattan needs something like this.Lockscreen isn't much functional.

Re: [Announce] Widgets platform -- lockscreen
 

Interesting. I will consider it :)

Your concept is quite interesting and my widgets system is quite flexible. I will try to see if it is possible to do that.

About support in python, well, I don't know how to bind code well, but you can do something very easy: write a daemon in python, and interact with QML using DBus. All my widgets are QML so it is really easy to write them.

There will be more on API after ...

Re: [Announce] Widgets platform -- lockscreen

so far i see several issues (statusbar not showing) problem with iClock (day name and month are on russian i think, right?)
maemo dock doesn't showing applications when pressed on menu button
i will checkout qml (yes, i know i had to long ago...) :D
really looking forward for improvements and fixes and future progress of this app :) it will be very interesting to develop widgets. hope apis will be rich :)

Re: [Announce] Widgets platform -- lockscreen
 

Is lpm the display while N9 screen is off ? Yes it will be disabled, since I cannot support it (now).

Re: [Announce] Widgets platform -- lockscreen
 

Please remove ALL widgets and docks and restart sysuid
and see if the status bar is still not showing. This is a bug that occurs sometimes and I don't know how to address it.

Please show me a screenshot of iClock as well. And for maemo dock, everything is normal :D I did not give much love to this dock.
