There is not yet a French translation, so this contribution would be very welcome! It looks like the next version needs an 'about' dialog to mention the translators
Then I'll count on you! If you need any help with the file format or something, just write me.
Well here you go, please check I didn't forget anything...

It's a pleasure localizing such concise interfaces :-)

Hi conny,

I'm trying to Fremantle-ize my application and was wondering what gtk widget that is in the screenshot above (the Font size selector, Small|Normal|Large|Huge)? I know it's in the new App menu, just can't figure out what widget that is. Thanks :-)

I believe it's a "filter" (from my following on the thread on maemo-developers); I've not looked at the API in detail yet, though.

Since I'm posting, I want to congratulate conny on a fantastic job. I've not used Conboy yet, but he's done a really good Fremantle UI from the screenshots; and it's got me really excited about the new device.

I hope the rest of the software we produce as a community looks as good :-)

conny, do you fancy writing an article (preferably one we can syndicate to planet.m.o) about your experiences Fremantlising an existing UI; and what the new API's like to work with? (Your posts on maemo-developers made fascinating reading as it evolved, but having a retrospective - complete with screenshots - would be handy to other developers (IMHO) and a good ad for your app ;-))

That's a good idea.

Merci beaucoup It looks very good, I´ll copy it to SVN as soon as I´m back from work and of course it will be included in the next release.

Thanks again!

As Jaffa said, it´s a Filter. Filters are normal buttons but are added to the AppMenu using the function hildon_app_menu_add_filter() instead of hildon_app_menu_append().

In my case I´m using GtkRadioButtons which are drawn as GtkToggleButtons. The problem with GtkRadioButtons is that they really look ugly on the AppMenu, but you can tell a radio button that it should draw itself as a toggle button and everything looks nice.

The only problem is that every AppMenu can have only one Filter, so everytime you call hildon_app_menu_add_filter() the button is added to the same Filter (or filter group ).

I think the name "Filter" is quite confusing. I have no idea whether it refers to one of those buttons or to the complete group....

You´re right. See the reply to Brents post.

Thanks a lot It would be cool to see it on a real device...

In fact I was thinking about that too. Not that I´m a big writer or anything, but as you can see from the length of those threads there are many things that are poorly documented and unclear. It took me much more time to redesign the UI then I was planning so maybe it really would be a good thing to save other developers some time.

The main reason why I didn't wrote anything bigger yet, is that I was worried that it may become a rant Well and that wouldn't really help anyone...
On the weekend I´ll spend a couple of hours on the train - this might be a good time to produce some documentation or at least to thing about it. Until then I´ll try to bug the hildon developers some more to get the last pieces of information out of them.
