Let me look in to what it would take to add some user-defined input buttons to that screen; I don't know how much work that would require...

I'm just curious, is it possible to have an app in N900 which uses wi-fi to remote control cameras with wi-fi such as the Canon 6D / Canon 70D.
Ultimately, it isn't likely that such controls will be making it into Pierogi any time soon, but a closed-source control app might be feasible. Anyway, I'll take a look at what folks have been doing with the Canons...
Edit: Well, maybe I'm wrong! Looks like the GPhoto guys are already supporting remote control for a number of different cameras. There's even been an attempt to get GPhoto running on the N900, specifically for remote control purposes (although via USB, not wi-fi). Might be more doable than I'd thought.
Edit 2: A very nice little video.

Thanks.
Speaking of more ways of remote controlling. I really would like to use my N900 as bluetooth and wifi keyboard + mousepad. Yeah I know bluemaemo, but it sucks and it is buggy.
Copernicus, I seeing forward for your next great solution (: Just duplicating the current button would already be sufficient in my opinion. Still you would need to make them independent of each other...

@Copernicus
Thank you for your great work! All your apps are really useful, but i have to admin one great issue: the app's icons!!
Please consider something more related to the function of the application for pierogi, lanterne and orecchiette.
There is enough mess into the maemo application menu, and an icon describing the function would help a lot.
Thanks again!

Yeah I stumled into that but as I use a custom icon theme I just adde my own png icons and this the result. A lot more useful icons. The flashlight icon is extracted from the known flashlight app before we all used Lanterne. The second icon is found by searching the web with the following term: "remote control icon". I don't know if they have any rights but I think you can find them yourself. Then look in the desktop file how the icon should be named and place them in /op/usr/share/icons/your_icon_theme/64x64/applications/
Result is attached

However, there's one significant issue I always bump into:I have _zero_ artistic ability.
Is there a tutorial somewhere about how one comes up with icons? I would imagine that people draw them using various tools of art, but I have no real idea how one best accomplishes that. (Heck, when I created the first iteration of Lanterne, it took me longer to find a photo of the pasta and turn it into an icon than it did to write and prepare the rest of the app...)

1014 bytes of crude pixel work... and a scaled photo of my personal torch..
But probably pierogi would need a better solution.

Hey, I actually like the pasta icons! Found them strange at first, too, but now they're part of "folklore" And, you know, what better describes Pierogi than Pierogi icon? Orecchiette ressembles ear, and Lanterne icon is like... Errrm, a waveform of light? 
Seriously though, I understand where are you coming from with that icon request. Still, part of me would be sad to get rid of that "tradition"

current icons are deciving but are ok acccording to the used naming convention. maybe a combination of old and new or some unique mark or overlay in each icon to represent the feature or significing pasta family.

The pasta icons make them stand out from other applications on the desktop.
As for Lanterne icon, I still like Torchio as a type of pasta that resembles a torch.
