Re: Mer 0.11 released

I've uploaded a version of blueman to the mer repo with basic hildon elements (window, application and menu) and fullscreen on F6. It's still not finished, and I will do as much as I can but I'm not a ~~python~~ programmer so if anyone wants to contribute - please do so.

Hacked applet to have right click menu with "left" mouse button:

Will that get my task menu/switcher back from the graves since the clock plugin killed it?

Edit: that did it. Thanks

Tethering doesn't work due to some bug somewhere (http://trac.tspre.org/qwerty12/b.png), connecting to a headset is successful but no sound is sent. The input service really does work - I was controlling my N800, running Mer, using my W810's built in remote control feature!

It's in the Mer repo if you wish to give it a go - it should be available from the application manager in blue pill mode.

Here's some basic code to simulate tap-and-hold:

Code:

class whatever(...):

    ...

    tah_timeout = 1000 # milliseconds

    tah_max_dist = 5 # pixels

    ...

    def __init__(self...):

        ...

        self.press_event = None

        self.button_is_down = False

        self.connect('button-press-event', self.on_button_press)

        self.connect('button-release-event', self.on_button_release)

        ...



    def tap_and_hold(self):

        if self.button_is_down:

            x, y = self.get_pointer()

            dx = abs(x - self.press_event.x)

            dy = abs(y - self.press_event.y)

            if dy <= self.tah_max_dist and dx <= self.tah_max_dist:

                self.press_event.button = 3

                self.press_event.time = gtk.get_current_event_time()

                gtk.main_do_event(self.press_event)

        return False



    def on_button_press(self, widget, event):

        self.button_is_down = True

        self.press_event = event.copy()

        gobject.timeout_add(self.tah_timeout, self.tap_and_hold)



    def on_button_release(self, widget, event):

        self.button_is_down = False

Re: Mer 0.11 released

Awesome, many thanks! I'm currently attaching the activate signal to the on right click def and using gdk.geteventtime (something like this, did I mention I'm not a programmer? :)). I'm using your code from the tear thread for tap & hold in the blueman-manager (you are credited for it) and this code for the applet sounds much better than my hack. I'll apply it tommorow, thanks!

Well, you can live in denial all you want, 'cause "you're the best damn non-programmer I've ever seen." [appropriately stolen from "The Natural"]

Are you really only 16? That's a joke, right?

My sentiments exactly. Cause he is doing pretty good.

Re: Mer 0.11 released

Will it be possible to use the classic Maemo desktop layout in Mer as well? I can't see the approach I see in current Mer screenshots as going to work well with my favorite theme (LCARS), and I'm also not too keen on losing the vertical screen space due to the larger bar at the top.

Larger? Isn't 52px exactly the same what Diablos statusbar is?

Re: Mer 0.11 released

Dunno, going by the screenshots Mer's looks larger to me.
