Suggestion: don't use theme button images for those buttons since many themes includes the borders around the buttons. Instead use your own stylesheet for the buttons and specify a border color & radius and background color from currently selected theme. I think that would look good and wouldn't require users to hack their themes to get rid of borders
Nice app!
I'd do that, but I'm not the best designer to talk to about such things :P

A wonderful application MohammadAG. Like many others before me, I would like to say thank you for your time and effort in making the N900 the most awesome device. Your applications are amazing and so useful. It almost seems that the possibilities are endless for this device.
On another note, how easy / difficult is it to code these types of apps? What sort of programming knowledge does one need? What are you using?
I know this might probably be out-of-scope of your media bar but it's worth a shot.
Just a few days ago I was commenting with a friend that the #1 reason why I have to open the keyboard on my N900 is to ctrl+backspace (aka alt-tab) away.
Would it be possible to use the proximity sensor to trigger this? It would be so awesome to not keep having to open the keyboard when I just want to switch between fullscreen apps.
Finally, thanks for all your hard work on maemo. It feels like you're breathing new life into a platform everyone else is already declaring as dead.
@ lookatbowen, you're welcome
It's not as hard as it looks, I didn't know one bit about C/C++ in June, and I only started looking into Qt/C++ in September (and as always, I thank Venemo and alterego/tswindell for all their help here).
Apparently, you are receiving very much feedback and are probably quite busy right now.
Still, I have two requests.
Firstly, it would be nice if one could choose whether the "bar" is aligned left or right.
Secondly, an option for placing the "bar" beneath the present status menu would be neat as well.
I'd do that, but I'm not the best designer to talk to about such things :P

Or how about leaving the button graphics out completely? Just icons floating, would look cool I guess. Just enable the "flat" option for the buttons in QtCreator
