It's the center button between the direction keys. Could not do anything since it also appears that "clicking the screen" is the same thing as hitting that button in most cases.

EIther way though, I had to pull the battery.

Currently using F4 (menu button) But that may prove problematic on the road since i use that key to get to Maemomapper menus when I'm on the road. Other apps I'm not to concerned with.

Didn't try Esc, I'll try that later.

Here's an idea... might actually be a good one too.

How about using Xbindkeys and mapping a hardware key for us N800 users that would execute this simple command?

matchbox-remote -next


Think I'll try that later tonight.


Edit:
Easy way to install Xbindkeys on the N8x0

Thanks chief!

You are welcome! I'm not a Linux-guru, so what this will do: matchbox-remote -next ?

P.S. Addison, if u are going to thank me on each post i wrote — i gonna be the first person on talk.maemo.org in a few weeks xD

So I'm overly thankful! *lol*

Anyway, open up Xterm, keep your browser running in the background if possible, and run that command in Xterm.

It's actually quite faster and easier to manage than the task switcher thingy.

Addison, so it's the same to switcher button on my video (near the close button) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGf_4BUL3J8

Or u want to make it more comfortable to use?

P.S. Sorry if I'm annoying with my links...

No you're good. Actually I was looking at the wrong video. I was watching your Quasar video and not the one you just posted.

Anyway, I like how you have that switcher button on the status bar. That's such a smart idea.

Quick question.

Do you think it's possible to hack something like
/usr/share/applications/hildon-home/homeclock.desktop
and have that instead display something like
/usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/hildon-status-bar-battery.desktop

I'm trying a few ideas but I'm not getting anywhere with them.

Basically I'm asking if there's a way to pull those status bar items out of the status bar and have them treated as though they were widgets.

Does that make any sense to you?

I think it might look pretty good if there was a way to remove the status bar alltogether.

Cheers.

Actually not mine. And I don't know whom.

I tried to copy the statusbar's applets to home's applets directory, but it doesn't work. I don't think u can find a source code of homeclock.desktop so u have to make a request to somebody for create such applet. I think it's not very difficult work.

I thought about it. You have to check the applets (battery or wi-fi, or BT, etc) very often so it will not be so comfortably if you will have to minimize all windows to look on the wi-fi signal...

I had a crazy idea to make all windows work in fullscreen mode by default and all this stuff (applets) will go on the System Desktop — It is a concept of new task switcher with its own desktop to show important info like a battery, tasks, CPU and RAM usage, instant wi-fi and BT buttons (on/off).
I don't know about the first idea (all windows in fullscreen), but System Desktop will be a real: it will be a part of skippy-xd.

That's an awesome idea!

The only thing is that I think you need to have "home" installed somewhere, otherwise you can't load up the background image and the desktop will just be white.

But still, you sir are becoming my new, personal hero!

Can you start a thread on your creative genius somewhere else besides this thread?

Cheers!

Not at all, indeed!
Just take a pencil and write down all delirium i say xD

Anyway, thanks. Keep in touch.
