Don't have my N900 out so can't try this out now but would someone be a hero and explain to me what a web widget does? It shows a web page with you being able to set size as well as how often it refreshes?

yes thats pretty much it, you can scroll up/down and browser normally like you do from a browser, and u can use the keyboard for input, its a web browser widget .

quick-widgets-0.2.0 has been uploaded. The new features are:
  • access to QProcess qml wrapper, see example in MyDocs/quick-widgets/examples
  • dynamically resize widget to content size

This basically means any system command output can be accessed. So this is in alternative to the Desktop Command execution widget and/or beecons.

here is the first useful example
It displays memory info. Note that it updates very rapidly. You can change it to your liking.

* download attachment
* unzip it
* start quick-widgets and load meminfo.qml from the labelexample folder.

Sorry for the off-topic, but where does one find that package with the qmlviewer ? I don't see it anywhere...

yep that's why I didi it. With more qt mobility qml bindings it would be even better.

If anybody can think of a widget I can have a go at it. The main constraint is that it should be limited to tap actions as the home screen scrolling is taking over dragging or flicking.

The main highlights of qml are ease of use and animation eye candy.

I will have a look at passing on orientation events to qml so the widgets could be working in portrait mode.

Here is a better version of the web browser widget:

To scroll you have to tap on the right hand side of the widget. Upper half scrolls up , lower half down. Note that this prevents from clicking any links in that area (30 pixels)

It defaults to a facebook touch view.
Either cut-n-paste this code into a file named 'webwidget.qml'
or save the attached file (note it has to be renamed or saved as webwidget.qml as this site doesn't allow qml extensions).

Then load into quick widget.

Code:
import Qt 4.7
import QtWebKit 1.0

Item {
    // Modify these to customize

    // widget width
    width: 300

    // widget height
    height: 350

    // the url to display
    property string url: "http://touch.facebook.com"

    // the optimum width for the website. The page is scaled down
    // from this width to the widget's width
    property int optimal_width: 340

    // interval when to reload the page
    // setting it to 0 means never refresh
    property real reload_in_minutes: 10

    // end user mods.

    id: main
     MouseArea {
     	  anchors.right: parent.right
	  width: 30
	  height: parent.height
	  onClicked: {
          }
     }

    Rectangle {
         anchors.fill: parent
         radius: 10
	 color: "gray"
	 opacity: 0.6
    }

    Text {
         id: txt
         anchors.centerIn: parent
	 text: "loading..."
	 color: "white"
    }     

    WebView {
     	  id: browser
          transformOrigin: Item.TopLeft
	  property bool scaled: false

	  smooth: true
	  visible: false
          preferredWidth: optimal_width
          preferredHeight: parent.height
	  url: parent.url
          Behavior on y  { PropertyAnimation {} }
	  onUrlChanged: {
              y = 0
          }
	  onLoadFinished: {
              if (!scaled) {
                  browser.contentsScale = main.width/browser.width
                  scaled = true;
              }
              browser.visible = true
              //console.log('loaded')
              txt.z = 0
	 }
      }


     MouseArea {
     	  anchors.right: parent.right
	  width: 30
	  height: parent.height
	  onClicked: {
             var inc = main.height*0.9
             if (mouse.y > main.height/2) {
                var dy = Math.min(inc,
                          browser.contentsSize.height-main.height+browser.y)
                browser.y -= dy
            } else {
                var dy = Math.min(inc, Math.abs(browser.y))
                browser.y += dy
            }
	  }

     }

     Timer {
     	   id: refresh
     	   interval: 1000*60*parent.reload_in_minutes
	   running: runtime.isActiveWindow
	   repeat: true
           onTriggered: { txt.z = 1
                           browser.reload.trigger()
			  }
     }

}
