Much of appreciation if so.
Here are a few pics:





Light is not good to appreciate the plastics on the pictures, but toholed is in my opinion very usable in everyday life without people looking at your weird phone. I don't hesitate to put it upside down on the table during meetings. The "non-smooth" appearance is actually smoother than expected, and the lines in the plastic are shallow and way less ugly in reality than I thought they would be when I saw pictures. Total thickness is in the acceptable range.

Possible additional feature like this would be to display the number of unread notifications for each type, like in the Notification screen of Sailfish: 5 emails, 2 SMS, 4 IRC highlights, and so on.

It may perhaps require decreasing clock size, so that the numbers could be displayed above the corresponding icons. And perhaps that could be optional for people prefering large clock. The clock font could be changed for something wider (smaller in height, but still using 100% of the screen width).

For me, it would be very useful. I often have unread notifications, but I keep track in my mind of how many there were the last time I checked, so if toholed tells me I have 5 email notifications instead of 4 previously, I know there is something new at first glance.

I have been thinking about this too, but not implemented it due for the limited space on the display.

Easy: I can keep count on SMS and Calls, IRC provides this number already in the dbus signal.

Difficult: Email is atm the most problematic of them all (even to get the notification in first place) - but might be doable.

Tweetian is no-can-do without change in tweetian itself.

I was also considering to order icons in arrival-order, right one being the newest (instead of fixed location as they now have)
Assuming rarely having them all at same time (?) it could be done so that number is shown next to the icon when there is more than 1 of that type.

Have to think.

maybe change the icon to numbers when there are more than one unread? just important to keep the position of icons/numbers

Fwiw, in the following thread, in post #15, I wrote a short note about my findings with respect to that one:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92976&page=2

In a nutshell, this hack allows to receive notifications from dbus that are sent via the org.freedesktop.Notifications Notify method.

Otoh, this is a really dirty hack and I think it requires to eavesdrop (Actually, I didn't test without it due to lack of time.) on the session bus.
Right now, eavesdropping on the session bus is possible but I don't know if that may change in the future.

If you want to have a look at the code this is the *.cpp file:
https://github.com/ruedigergad/Skipp...onoadapter.cpp

However, as said, this was done very much in a rush and thus the whole code is likely to be very crude and hackish.
Edit: I even re-used a pre-existing class that was intended for pretty much different purposes and thus the classname is also very much misleading.

Nothing beats dirty hacks...(except well documented) thanks, i will take a look at this. (quick look - seems doable)

Current implementation'ish : Everytime the clock is updated (and new email icon is not already active), i ask from notification system does messageserver5 have any existing messages. If it return non-empty array there is new email(s).
I also monitor signal sync_completed from asdaemon (exchange) and 5 sec after that check that array from notification system.

So far, no major issues. It seems that the TOHOLED is not fond of laying in the pocket for a longer period of time. The display will turn off, and a restart of phone is needed to enable it again. No reboots or other fails.

One suggestion. Like Twitter, is it possible to use Friends for notifications from FB ?
I would in the long-term like to see Twitter, FB and also Linkedin notifications. Perhaps is also possible to add number of notifications by rearranging the clock and icons? Might be that the date can find room also then

Like this

+-------------+------------------+
| CLOCK | mail (#) |
| DATE | Twitter (#) |
| Charge | FB (#) |
| Batt | LI (#) |
+-------------+------------------+

First define "longer period" ?

Display should turn off when inserted to pocket, but it should wake up when proximity is cleared - does this work with "shorter periods" in your pocket?

Do you have leather pants? Noticed that the proximity sensor has difficulties to detect black leather...

Have you tried to systemctl restart toholed.service ?

Can you provide me some journals via email ?
