You'll need the QBW Flipclock widgets installed already, this is a modification to change the look by using different png files.

The flipclock can be installed from this thread

Created a new idle led pattern to indicate wifi connection:
As root:

Edit /etc/mce/mce.ini:
Add ";PatternNetwork" to [LED],LedPatterns (line 233):
Code:

LEDPatterns=PatternError;PatternDeviceOn;PatternPowerOn;PatternPowerOff;PatternCommunicationCall;PatternCommunicationIM;PatternCommunicationSMS;PatternCommunicationEmail;PatternCommonNotification;PatternWebcamActive;PatternBatteryCharging;PatternBatteryFull;PatternDeviceSoftOff;PatternNetwork
Add a new entry PatternNetwork to [LEDPatternLystiRX51] (line 455):
Code:

PatternNetwork=250;0;0;gb;9d804000422043207f100000;9d800000
Customize the pattern if you wish to. I just made it a cyan version of the normal idle pattern. (Priority 250!)

Create scripts to activate and deactivate the pattern.
/etc/network/if-down.d/50_leds:
Code:

set -e

if [ "$IFACE" != wlan0 ]; then
        exit 0
fi

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_led_pattern_deac
tivate string:PatternNetwork

/etc/network/if-up.d/50_leds:
Code:

set -e

if [ "$IFACE" != wlan0 ]; then
        exit 0
fi

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_led_pattern_ac
tivate string:PatternNetwork

Make the scripts executable:
Code:

chmod +x /etc/network/if-up.d/50_leds
chmod +x /etc/network/if-down.d/50_leds

Reboot OR refresh mce and network:
Code:

stop mce
#wait a few seconds
start mce
/etc/init.d/networking restart

If mce keeps saying "respawning too fast" type as root: "mce &" to be able to use the power button again and reboot.

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...=qbw+flipclock

Thanks for the link

I have added all the beecons
On the dash (currently pic of N900) i have set the command -
y=
m=
d1=
d2=
w=
h1=id8
h2=id9
h3=id10
h4=id11

This shows me the N900 background and the clock, can you advise how to change the background image and flip-clock digits?
Is it a simple case of editing each beecon to match your image file names?

Sorry i'm not used to QBW

Yes you edit the filenames in each qbw to match the new filenames.

Flipclock would be replaced with flipclocktrans
qbw_flipclock would be replaced by panel

The digits will go transparent, so create two qbw's based using the flipclockblankwide image

Packaged up and compressed with OptiPNG are the PNG files for my HTC-Style QBW Flipclock, as well as the RX-TX-IP widget, and YahooWeather widget.
Make sure you have WGET installed (apt-get install wget)

The flipclock can be installed from this this thread
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...=qbw+flipclock

The format to make this work is a little different to the original - all of the digits have a TRANSPARENT background, so another qbw is used as the flipclock for the digits. I have supplied single and wide flipclock backgrounds for your taste (credit Darkl4r for the original)

For this purpose, the separate filename sare flipclocktrans.png.* and flipclockblank.png/flipclockblankwide.png

The panel in the background is for the main flipclock code.

Extract all to /home/user/.queen_beecon_dir and edit the qbw files to match - they are named different so as not to overwrite the original flipclock files.
Enjoy!

EDIT: RX-TX-IP fixed Not sure why it happened.

hi, if you arent bothered by me.
Would u share, your queen beecon configuration.
Thanx

For anyone that wants it but doesn't use my theme I'm attaching my CSSU-specific transitions.ini, including:

A light Blur to keep things fluid (as opposed to desaturate which I'm not keen on), larger 2 column task manager and forced rotation.

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 
how do i change the whole lock screen as the slider. ive looked at the gtk theme file and i also tried changing the slider button to 800x480 but it just turns black. im thinking its because of the size.

if thats not clear this is what i want to do

press the button
lock screen shows up
grab the whole screen slide it
underneath is the desktop
slide it all the way and its gone.

btw im using the perl script to generate my calendar background i changed it to write over the transparent slider to try to accomplish what im doing

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 
Sorry to be a pain but these kind of mod threads are huge and i can't seem to find the answer without asking.

Where is the top left desktop menu icon path kept and called?

and

Does the lock screen icon have to be a 148 x 94 pixel png file or can the size vary slightly?

thanks in advance

SavageBrat 2011-03-02 11:27

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 
@ Bazza the icon name is wmTaskLauncherIcon, it in your themes/image folder but not sure on you second question..

Bazza 2011-03-02 11:30

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 
Thanks for that

I suppose i will have to test the lock slider icon size and see if it works.

Unfortunately the file types cannot be posted - got an email address?
Maemo.org only accepts certain file types for uploading.
If you want, pm me your address and I will send them to you. Not sure how else you can get them if you don't want to do this.

I am trying to replace the Task Launcher Icon and i have managed to do it with non-transparent icons of various sizes.

but i have put an image with a transparent background in there and it still shows up with no transparencies (png size 109 x 50 pixels) and the same icon re-sized but slightly bigger has transparencies when using it on the lock screen icon.

Any ideas?

Have you restarted the phone to make the correct icon show? (or change to another theme and back again will do)

Bazza 2011-03-03 16:05

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 
Yeah,

Sorry guys i have sorted it, the icon i was trying had a resolution outside of the 112 x 56 pixels which this icon should have.

so i tried the icon i thought i was using (109 x 50 pixels) and it has a transparent background.

School boy error.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

hmmm... interesting seems like the Dordrecht weather centre is not playing ball.
Set your place as either Meerkerk or Leerdam as they are on the Utrecht weather centre, but it is interesting that there is a 5º difference between you and those two places and your not that far away :confused: I guess you are going to have to decide which is more accurate.

I think I will start experimenting with locations around me to see what weather stations there are and how they differ.

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 
well did learn some topography :P dordrecht should be less far than utrecht weather center. But I dont know whats closer: dordrecht or meerkerk. Also what do you exactly mean that the dordrecht weather center is playing balls?

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 
Haven't had a proper look at yet but here is some code i found that pulls weather information from accuweather. Bear in mind that that it does not get any images from the site so i'd expect to use this in conjunction with the original image grab from yahoo.

Code:

wget --user-agent="" -q -t 1 -T 10 -O "/home/user/MyDocs/.images/queen_beecon_dir/test.htm" "http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=1&locCode=EUR|UK|UK179|Newcastle upon Tyne" ; weather=`grep '.*' "/home/user/MyDocs/.images/queen_beecon_dir/test.htm" | grep -E '<description>(Currently|High)'| sed -e 's/.*<description>\(.*\)/\1/' -e 's/\(.*\) &lt.*/\1/' -e 's/\(&#176;\)//'` ; echo "Weather......: `echo "$weather" | head -1`" ; echo "Today........: `echo "$weather" | head -2 | tail -1`" ; echo "Tomorrow.....: `echo "$weather" | tail -1`"

Hope you will code it that way it grabs the images from accuweather also :D

Sorry, English expression.

'Not playing ball' means that the Dordrecht weather centre isn't giving out its data in a way that Yahoo can use.

They are not playing by the rules, I assume a football expression.
