Telescope 1.0.2 (extras-devel)
  • In rare cases when Telescope is unable to grab window screenshot it will draw gray checkers instead of one. It could happen if you still use useless “Minimize” window button.
  • Telescope will not appear when no windows are running. If you close last window inside Telescope using “X” button, Telescope will hide.

Unfortunately, this issue can't be easily resolved. This is side effect of enabling Composite X11 extension that Telescope uses. (This extension allows to monitor window contents event if window is not visible and it is used by all modern linux desktops.) Due to some bug in whether Composite extension or in XVideo extension in Maemo's X server, video overlay is always drawn on the top of all windows when composition is enabled.
On Diablo Composite is disabled by default and it seems that Nokia didn't event tested it with video.
Telescope includes stupid workaround for this case: when you call Telescope from MediaPlayer in order to switch to another app, Telescope will minimize MediaPlayer and video will be hidden (and paused). The same workaround is for liqbase which uses XVideo too.
But yes, this is not the solution for popups.

Works very well. Though, you should not open telescope when playing DrNokSnes. To be honest it was an accident, but I couldn't get resolution correct and had to reboot.

Yes, you're right Telescope works ok with SDL apps, but not with ones which change screen resolution. I will try to find some workaround

Mitrandir. How difficult would it be to put a rotate hotkey/button when you open telescope? Say maybe a rotate left button in the lower right when telescope is launched?

If you use advanced-backlight (and volume) with the Community SSU it has rotation on it.

Telescope support user defined hardware keys. You can define one of the keys, e.g. FS, to invoke rotation.

edit:
Well there is no rotate command. The best way to do this is to install Knots2 which contains one, then add these line to /etc/telescope.keys as root:
Code:
press(F7): shell(/usr/share/knots/rotate 3)
press(F6): shell(/usr/share/knots/rotate 0)
Now killall telescope to make your changes effective
+ rotates clockwise
FS rotates to normal landscape
