anyone using the FM transmitter regularly probably has a few widgets like me, i have the fm boost + transmit widget, fmRDS widget, and the media player control widget, which i have tried to condense as seen here



what i propose is for all these functions to be in one cleaner "superwidget"

possibly incorporating next/previous track with volume keys (safer while driving)

and also possibly introduce a large +0.1mhz button, (skip transmit frequency +0.1mhz obviously! purpose - if you lose signal quality due to station congestion, skip your car stereo up to a better frequency, press +0.1 button by corresponding amount)


Thanks to Babel0 taking many of the ideas suggested here and incorporating them into his latest version of his fmrdsnotify widget we now have a fm superwidget (more or less!) this version of the widget has the default media player widget sitting snugly in the middle of it, overlap it when you install!



As you can see its much cleaner, crisper, and all around better than the collection of widgets we had been using previously, incorporates + and - mhz buttons for changing frequency on the fly and it's SKINNABLE!

should be in -devel repo's now! (no responsibility taken by anyone for bricked n900's, flood, fire, death, or mysterious appearance of a bowl of petunia's)

special thanks to maharadja for providing the skin for this widget and help throughout the process, but for those of you who wish to make your own skin (i know, how cool is that???) create a svg file and save as rds.svg, put it in MyDocs and remove/restart the desktop widget.

naming of obecjt ID's
