I'm not a big fan of trying to make one application doing 15 different things and things that are not core to it's basic features.

So far Mitrandir has done an excellent job keeping the app on track and focusing on simplicity so I hope he continues to do so :)

Or do you mean the Notifications that the Diablo5 theme dropped - i.e. not Telescope?

But since telescope is replacing the task switcher, and task switcher handled the mail notifications... isn't that a 'basic feature' of what is should be replacing?
Errr I mean Diablo5 dropped, but I guess Telescope will hvae to pick up (since it replaces what got dropped)

Unfortunately, implementing notifications is not as easy, as replacing F5 action :)

But what I would like is rotation support for Launcher =)

Since you can have custom commands assigned to hardware keys in telescope, you can use your keys for rotation. Install Knots2 and add this to /etc/telescope.keys :

Code:

press(F7): shell(/usr/share/knots/rotate 3)

press(F6): shell(/usr/share/knots/rotate 0)

Now when you press the home and see telescope, press (+) to portraite and FS to landscape. Knots2 contains a small program that handles the rotation and switches the orientation of the dpad.

Moving the Home menu from the left panel to the status bar, works fine for notification. The ugly icon can be replaced with a nice icon with flowers and hearts and rainbows and butterflies and then all be well with the world.

I don't want another icon...
But I think I'll need one anyways, I don't want an ugly one (which can be fixed)
But it also is so wide that it gets cut off almost 80% of the time depending on where the icon is. Most times, the second row.
Which, randomly locks open the second row which never closes and makes you reboot the device.
Many reasons I do not want the default one :/

I tried to make it have that many icons :P All I did though was ruin the interface so you can't do anything, gotta recopy this partition over to that one.

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails

You can use matchbox-remote to try a risky theme. If your theme is felicia and you have made changes to echo, the following command will change to echo, wait 15 seconds and change back to felicia:

Code:

matchbox-remote -t echo && sleep 15 && matchbox-remote -t matchbox-remote -t felicia

This only valid to changes in the theme.xml file:

Code:

/home/user # find /usr/share/themes/ -name theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/echo/matchbox/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/felicia/matchbox/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/glasser/matchbox/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/hendrika/matchbox/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/plankton/matchbox/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/tritanium/matchbox/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/meta/matchbox/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/vista3.1/matchbox/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/echowb/matchbox/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/borg/matchbox/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/Buuf/matchbox/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/Buuf-White/matchbox/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/FreDiablo/matchbox/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/nuvopearl/matchbox/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/nuvopearl/matchbox2/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/NuvoClear2/matchbox/theme.xml

/usr/share/themes/Diablo5/matchbox/theme.xml

Plenty of candidates to destroy :)

Re: [Announce] Telescope: Graphical task switcher with thumbnails

Telescope 2.0~rc3 (extras-devel)
You can specify ‘launcher.disable = yes’ option in /etc/telescope.conf in order to disable App Launcher. Added after several requests from user who want App Switcher but who is ok with built-in Applications menu.

Sorry that development of Telescope was slow in past month. This is due to changes in my regular job (:() and due to my new N900 (:)).

All times are GMT. The time now is 13:34.
