Congratulations!
It is my most used addition to the N900, & will probably save a lot of wear & tear on the screen as a bonus.

Hi Nicolai,

I saw an upgrade to the switcher in HAM this morning. There was no changelog, but I went ahead anyway.

I didn't see any visible change, except that the desktop icons were reset to the defaults as usual.

Of course it's not a huge hassle to copy custom ones over again, and restart Hildon Home, except that I always forget the directory name between upgrades :-)

Maybe it might be possible to modify your installer, so that it detects an upgrade instead of a fresh install, and doesn't copy the icons if they're already present ?

Hi Nicolai,

I saw that there is a new package called Dock Bar, may be it would be good to be integrated with your desktop switch ?

Have been playing trying to get a sidebar look.
I'm not very artistic, so this is still fairly ordinary, but might inspire someone with flair to have a go.
If anyone is interested:
- the 3 buttons at lower far right of screen 2 are shortcuts to websites
- the G on screen 3 is a General to Silent profile switcher (changes to S when silent)
- the Meegons on screen 4 are direct call buttons to most used contacts

Re: [Announce] desktop switcher widget
 

I am having huge difficulties moving my custom widgets. I am trying to fit 9 pictures of my desktop to effectively create the homescreen selector effect. However, the spanner and the x take up the whole widget. If I try to move around where the x is usually nothing happens. If I try to move around anywhere else it usually ends up treating it as pressing the spanner and I go into settings. Takes over 5 minutes of trial and error to just be able to move one widget. Doing this 81 times (9 times on each of 9 desktops) would take forever. Any easy fix? Can the spanner and x size be reduced for example?
