The hooks are actually in the code for working with fanoush's kernel method, they're just commented out. 770 support is somewhere on the list, it's just kind of taken a back seat to other issues. If you want to play with the code a bit and uncomment the relevant lines, you can probably get it working fairly easily, though.

I imagine that is because the kernel did not support rotations, and I wonder if it is possible to make that work in the 770...

Yes, it's hardware rotation, so it's a kernel issue. I'm not sure what status is for 770 rotation support.

Introducing multi-threaded sliding widgets. I added this to my own stuff last week and I woke up this (yesterday) morning and decided to add it to your stuff. It's working well. The volume change is smoother than Nokia's (especially when I disconnect the beep). And that's a remaining problem: the volume change beep. As of last week, the hildon volumebar widget wouldn't let me know when it received a button release event (that's when Nokia beeps). Every other widget does. F*cker. Maybe I need an event box; not sure. Anyway, I've enclosed the following 3 files that I changed against 0.11-7:

trunk/merge/configure.ac
trunk/merge/Makefile.am
trunk/merge/advanced-backlight.c

I realize the changes are major for someone not on the project (I'm too afraid to make a context diff), but you should look at them. All is not perfect, but I think I did a good job of cleaning up after myself (multiple add/removes from the statusbar). I can post a .deb if you want a demo. "Like butter".

I will check this out and attempt to implement your changes, hopefully for the next release. Thanks!

Re: Advanced Backlight Statusbar Applet

Hi folks!

Throwing in my 5 cents:
Option to change the "Display stays lit: When charging / Never" would be hot to have in the program menu :)

The one from Control Panel -> Display ...

Cool. Meanwhile, I'm putting myself through GTK+/GDK/X11 school; I'm determined to find out how that guy (girl) cleanly captures the "button-release-event" in the volumebar. If you, jott or anyone have any ideas I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Yeah... As you saw, I am doing a really ugly workaround/hack to make it only beep once every second or so (instead of just spamming beeps) but it would be awesome if you could figure that out. I used to use a HildonControlbar, which let me set its update method such that it didn't throw value-changed events until the user stopped moving it for some period of time (ie, got the bar to where they wanted it after dragging). I've thought about looking at how that was done, but the GTK+ codebase is way over my head at the moment. :(

Edit: As it turns out, the volumebar does support that, it's just buried in the GtkAdjustment bits... We'll have it done soon. :)

If I have my way, *all* of the options in the Display Control Panel widget will be present in our configuration, and we will hopefully be able to actually fully replace that control panel widget for much more seamless integration. I don't yet have a timeline for that, but hopefully within the next month. :/

Re: Advanced Backlight Statusbar Applet

Advanced Backlight needs translators!

We're ready for l18n, we just need some translators to get to work. ;) jott has already put together a German translation, but there are plenty more to do.

See here.

Re: Advanced Backlight Statusbar Applet

I can translate it into Spanish. How do I send it to you?

Re: Advanced Backlight Statusbar Applet

Well, this is the Spanish translation. I hope everything is OK.

Just fill in the msgstr "" with the translated string, then add your name and email address at the top.

For example:

Code:

#: advanced-backlight.c:1008

msgid "Rotation"

msgstr "Rotación"

See the German translation as well.

Then just get that text file to us however you want.

Not sure about some parts. Literal translations suck. Feel free to use this in anyway.
