User-defined colors are planned, if that is good enough I can try to get them ready soon. Otherwise I will need ideas on how to improve its looks.

I have some ideas wrt usability, although with so much functionality in such small space is quite hard.

No, Games is in the middle.

OK. One additional symptom I note with this: when the screen dims the first time and I touch it to wake it up, I get the notification that Screen & Keys Are Active, but it wasn't locked.

Thanks for the quick turnaround, the display glitch when the power button is pressed to start it is fixed.

Any chance of giving the Setting dialog a full-screen mode?

Re: [Announce] advanced-systemui

I was playing around with the settings dialog. In the Alarm settings, I went to change the 60-second duration; select, tapped on the on-screen keyboard the "1" and was about to tap "5" when the window closed. Now the settings dialog suddenly shuts down every time I enter the Alarm settings page. I see a floating-point exception displayed when I run from SSH window.

This isn't a problem for me because I don't use the alarm.

I was also looking at the services. I don't have any BT devices so I've been running with BT disabled, and the ASUI for that has always shown as grey. However, in the service list, I saw that BT File Share was enabled; I would have thought that would show "partial" on the ASUI display.

really think that you should rename this CASUI (CA for completely assinine)

+1 on maacruz' comments...

Moreover, before accusing other people of committing "asinine" mistakes, you really ought to make sure you can spell it right, else you are the one who ends up looking like an @55-something...

Writing properly (as in, with more caps and punctuation and less typos) would help too. As well as referencing your own (preferably brilliant) contributions to the Maemo community ?...

10 is the minimum allowed value for alarm_duration, not sure why it triggered a refresh but here is the formula to calculate the minimum step value :) Oops!

Code:

100*(max_volume - min_volume)/(alarm_duration-10)

Does it have a start button or stop/restart? I'll bet it only has start and if you tap it nothing will happen because the service won't start without the other BT services it depends on. Disabling the service should decrease your boot time a little since that service won't attempt to start 100 times before finally giving up.

Will look into it, unless someone knows how...

The bug report mentioned in this post has a patch that looks pretty generic (for GTK+ applications) :)

Re: [Announce] advanced-systemui

tried to use dpad center to unlock here, but i just get the popup over and over. ui still registers the taps tho, but no feedback sound.

I'm unable to reproduce this, could you send me the output from gconftool-2 -a /apps/asui |sort and exact steps to reproduce.

Also unable to reproduce this, see above.

Code:

 alarm_duration = 60

 alarm_volume_max = 100

 alarm_volume_min = 50

 alarm_volume_step = 125

 battery_idle_time = true

 brightness_allow_zero = false

 brightness_enhanced = true

 buttons_brightness = 3

 buttons_brightness_step = 10

 buttons_dpad_long = 2

 buttons_dpad_short = 1

 buttons_lock1_long = 2

 buttons_lock1_short = 1

 buttons_lock2_long = 2

 buttons_lock2_short = 3

 buttons_rotate = 0

 buttons_volume = 2

 buttons_volume_step = 10

 clock_24h = true

 clock_ampm = false

 double_tap = true

 enable_battery_applet = true

 lock_and_close = false

 memory_format = 3

 n800_lock_mode = true

 popup_cooldown = 300

 popup_duration = 0

 popup_fullscreen = false

 popup_noasui = true

 popup_onmap = false

 power_unlock_key = 4

 rotate_and_close = true

 secure_action = 2

 secure_button = false

 secure_power_action = 1

 service_size_unit = true

 short_tap_markers = false

 start_visible = false

 swap_format = 3

 temperature_F = false

 threshold_black = 3000

 threshold_white = 4000

steps to reproduce are as following, lock the tablet via asui while having the secondary key set to dpad center. Then attempt to unlock. Screen lights up, a popup shows that one need to press dpad center to unlock, but doing so only cause the popup to briefly flicker (likely a new one is being drawn on top of the old).

Now if i hammer dpad center i may be able to get things into a kind of middle state where there the touchscreen sound is not played but taps are still registered. This allows me to get into the asui settings and change the secondary key so that i can fully unlock the tablet.

I can confirm this also. In my case, I still have my tablet set to use softpoweroff (short press = softpoweroff, long press = wake). I'm not sure if that's relevant, but thought I'd mention it.

Anyways, the problem began when I chose the "blank" option from the main screen. Then, when I tried to unblank, after pushing the power button, it just prompted me over and over to hit the dpad center button, no matter how many times I pushed said button. I eventually had to reboot in order to use the hardware keys again...fortunately, I was able to tap the reboot icon on screen and that actually worked. So as tso said, it seems screen taps still work, just not hardware keys.

This was on an N800, btw.
