dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:"<application name here>"


this the command to use any application you wanted to have as a qbw ,)


HOW TO USE
go to usr/share/applications/hildon
here you will see applications with .desktop .
just ignore the .desktop and copy the rest of the name of the app at the end of the code.
like if you wanted to have x terminal just write ''osso-xterm'' as osso-xterm.desktop is written in the directory.

just copy the code , add a new beecon and go to add cmd put a title and paste the command and your beecon is ready ;)

a noob question but how do i get into /usr/share/applications/hildon? how do i make it show wat apps i have and once i found the app do i put infront of it "osso-"?

use WINSCP to get into any directory or filebox.
once you have entered the directory you will see all your apps with .desktop .


and in the case of osso files yes you have to put osso before them.
not all of the apps have osso with them.
just few of them.
i recommend downloading and install WINSCP on your computer/laptop and goind to the directory .
it will clear everything .


p.s we are all noobs here :p
so dont feel hesitation asking any thing :P

Ok I have done all that and created the short cuts that I want, but how do I change their 'clicked/pressed' background?

I know how to set the main background to any image I want, I have done that. But when I click the widget, I want it to have an effect, like a button pressed effect on the current N900 app shortcuts. Exactly like that.

I have the image for it and I know QBW can do it, I just don't know how. Please help me
