No, but you can make a semi-trasparent background of your choice by creating the relevant png image.

Transparency cannot be managed with default QBW background
Create a background image or a background panel in .PNG format with alpha channel transparency.

Just echo the following string (which will not be displayed) as output of your command "QBW_REMEMBER_ME(<content to be remembered>)" no angle brackets; escape "close round bracket" like this "\)" to store it as ")" 
  * Changed: Extended warning message in case of inconsistent Pango Markup Language output ("QBW Warning! Possible Pango Markup Language inconsistent/unterminated Tag!")   
  * Changed: Extended warning message in case of inconsistent/non-UTF-8 output in TestDrive output Buffer ("QBW Warning! Expected/Shown Command Output mismatch. Possible charset different from UTF-8!")

queen-beecon (0.1.9.6)

  * New: REVOLUTION!!! :) Implementation of multiple (9 = grid 3x3) Hot Spots to click on the widget.

  * Bugfixing: Incomplete unreferentiation of DBUS resources. Fixed. 
  * Bugfixing: Incomplete unreferentiation of callback functions for async command execution and timers. Fixed. 
  * Bugfixing: Incorrect logic for updating when widget desktop was active/on. It was updating also when active widget's desktop was swept off. Now updates content only if "Update on Desktop" is TRUE and Widget's Desktop is being swept on. Fixed.

Hi No!No!No!Yes!,
Once again I have to thank you for the amazing work that you have accomplished.
Today I have a question for you, hope you can share some of your intelligence with me :P
I would like to know if there is any possible way, to relocate ( or even rotate! ) a QBW widget, on a keyboard slide event. Like when I open the keyboards on the n900, the widget will be placed in a different location.
If this could be done, I think it would be EXTREMELY useful in making a more portrait friendly desktop!
Thank you !

Cheers

I can not use QWB_REMEMBER_ME.

I try to use QWB_REMEMBER_ME () but can not.

I need to switch between two values: on and off

Can you help?

Sure ...
Change QBW position with:

Code:

run-standalone.sh dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=oh.no.more.qbw /oh/no/more/qbw$QBW_ID oh.no.more.qbw.set_position int32:<new x position> int32:<new y position>

Change Angle for images and text with:

Code:

run-standalone.sh dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=oh.no.more.qbw /oh/no/more/qbw$QBW_ID oh.no.more.qbw.set_param_uint32 string:"<parameter>" uint32:"<rotation angle index>" string:""

<parameter> is:

Code:

cmdImgAngle
cmdTextAngle
resImgAngle
resTextAngle

<rotation angle index> is:

Code:

0=0 Degrees
1=90 Degrees
2=180 Degrees
3=270 Degrees

set_param_double DBUS method to change QBW Size on parameter:

Code:

widWidth
widHeight

When slide is opened or closed the following signals reach the system DBUS:

Code:

signal sender=:1.11 -> dest=(null destination) serial=18867 path=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_slide; interface=org.freedesktop.Hal.Device; member=PropertyModified
   int32 1
   array [
      struct {
         string "button.state.value"
         boolean false
         boolean false
      }
   ]
signal sender=:1.11 -> dest=(null destination) serial=18868 path=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_slide; interface=org.freedesktop.Hal.Device; member=Condition
   string "ButtonPressed"
   string "cover"

You can intercept one of them with QBW DBUS Monitor/Interceptor

and read file:

Code:

/sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/slide/state

for "open" or "closed"

Can you help?

$QBW_REMEMBER_ME (not QWB_...) is replaced inside the command at runtime before running the command itself with this rememberMe value:

rememberMe value can also be affected by executed command output. Just echo the following string (which will not be displayed) as output of your command QBW_REMEMBER_ME(<content to be remembered>) no angle brackets; escape "close round bracket" like this "\)" to store it as ")"

Here's an example Beecon which increases by 1 the previously remembered value, displays it and stores it back inside the beecon.
