Tried installing this but get an "unable to install". It appears on the desktop anyway but the only buttons that work are the "+" and "-"

Haven't been through the thread entirely but any ideas why this might be and how I can fix?

Can you tell me how to make a workable svg? So I can bring up my version of it. Which vars do I've to use? Or could you just send me your illustrator file?

Thanks in advance!

How difficult would it be to have the widget almost as big as a N900 desktop? Is it just a case of using different graphics?

I'd like to have a bigger version so I can quickly control it whilst driving in the car. Can we have a supersized version of this widget please?

Thats exactly what I want to do . . .
First I need to know how to set up the svg file . . . and does the widget take over the size of the svg file . . . ?

@the first post of the thread there is an discription of all the id's. if you don't know what what is, ill make an nice example.

there is an option in illustrator to export to svg so you can use that.
youll need to change the id tags with something like notepad(because the illustrator exporter sucks)

Thanks!

Will try! Does the widget take over the measurements?

Yeah, the svg file determinates the size of the widget. You could just resize some of the svgs which were previously posted into this thread, although the highlighted button presses look a bit on the funky side there.

When you're done with the resizing, just copy the resized svg into /MyDocs and reload the widget.

I reckon widget width between 760-790 pixels should do the trick, since you should leave some room to each side of the desktop.

If you could post your resized svgs I'd appreciate trying yours

Give me an hour or two . . .

@stonda and other skin makers

i was thinking of collecting some of the skins and adding screenshts to first post with files attached to make this thread a little friendlier, with your permission of course?

and while i'm here anyone fancy doing a super simple skin? 3 buttons, vertical, full height about thumb width, on/off button, + button, and skip track button (if that command has been integrated yet) with status of rds indicated through white or green on said buttons. my artistic skills are as poor as my coding ones!
