Thank you for this, it works great! And that got me thinking...

Well, doesn't the system menu "Switch off!" or power button long-press give the exact same "axe handle" effect? I don't know why the Nokia devs would set it up this way if it was detrimental, but it does seem like a forced, yank-the-battery type shutdown. To get a controlled shutdown, I suppose the systemui.xml shutdown entry could be edited the same way? Presumably with a shutdown -h or init 0 command? And /etc/mce/mce.ini would see to it that a long power button press gave the same result. How's that sound?
just go to usr/share/hildon-desktop and open the transitions ini? how do i do it? many says to do this after typing sudo gainroot in x-term after getting rootsh. but really how do put my eyes on that "usr "folder to begin digging up the rest???
some of you may already know this, but for those that dont you can have the menu icons sweeping in when launching the menu and the sub menu
goto usr/share/hildon-desktop
and open the Transitions ini file looking for this:
just change 'sequenced = 0' to 'sequenced = 1'
and 'duration = 250' to 'duration = 1200'
the duration (speed) can be set how ever you like,
higher number = faster movement (or slower, cant remember!)
(thanks to megaexer for explaining this to me)
(also dont EVER change 'snap_grid_size = 4'
to zero, cos doing that bricked me!)[/QUOTE]
where do i download midnight commander from ?
i cant find it anywhere on the internet,
and i cant find it in app mgr/downloads either.
You dont need MC to do any of these things. nano or vi/vim can do the same things. Nano has the least learning-curve, and vi takes a few days of playing to get used to everything the editor can do.
Instead of MC:
cd /to/path #(to move to dir)
vi ./filename #(to edit)
This will score you Un*x-points as well as save you some space.
If you still want MC you can find it in the devel repo (which has to be added, google it.)
hi, how did you add 'reboot' to power button? i found a tutorial on my-maemo but i couldnt follow the guide, it was using MC, is this the way you did it? thanx
Install Maemodder and there's simple click option to adding it!
It's been a while since I looked at this so I should have done this sooner.
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)
You'll need the QBW Flipclock widgets installed already, this is a modification to change the look by using different png files.
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 Moudy,
I have also wanted something like this for quite a while so would also appreciate it if this could be produced fairly easily. The closest I have found is a command posted by j.s. It is an xterm command but can also be used in queen beecon which I have already done. The only trouble is that the counter gets reset when the phone does. But, it may help. It did help me.
Code:
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0
or to focus only on bytes tranferred (both directions):
