    If the filename extension for the wallpaper image(s) is '.JPG' and not '.jpg', yes. This is *nix after all, being case-sensitive on file systems.

    To solve this issue just set an explicit size in the config file for the datetime widget. The default config file of the next version will be fixed.
    So in the end it is more of an ini file issue.
    Thank you - I'll try that right away.

    Hi all

    Finally I've made a script for add weather from yahoo on the lockscreen and now i share with you before sakya make a "widget".

    @sakya I've started to write lsweather.h lsweather.cpp, but I'm a beginner in c++.

    Requires:
    - wget for downloading html file and image file
    - ImageMagick for making the image, install it via apt-get, or in HAM select categories "All packages (Advanced)" and install it
    - Alarmed, for add a cron task for automatic refresh, install it via apt-get

    in xterm:
    Code:
    sudo gainroot
    apt-get install alarmed imagemagick wget
    Now in attachment extract "weather.sh" in /home/user/WHEREYOUWANT/, but not in MyDocs.

    Finally open weather.sh and modify it

    1/ Line 42: url of yahooweather for your contry copy an past from your browser
    2/ Line 55: unit for the text "°C"
    3/ Line 57: 58: string "Max: " and "Min: "
    4/ Line 62: Font, size color and position for the text and its stroke
    5/ Line 33: Check path for making and storing image file, make sure user can be write in it
    Code:
    sudo gainroot
    chown user:users "/home/user/YourPath"
    info: yahooweather use a png file its size is 250x180.
    read convert documentation http://imagemagick.org/script/index.php

    6/ add in your qtlockscreen.ini
    modify xx for matching your number off "widget"
    [Main]
    ....
    Widgets\xx\Name="Image.Weather"
    Widgets\Size=xx

    [Weather]
    Image="/home/user/apps/QtLockscreen/Weather.png"
    SizeP="250;180"
    SizeL="250;180"
    PosL="0;0"
    PosP="0;0"

    Make it executable and run it, in xterm:
    Code:
    chmod +x /home/user/WHEREYOUWANT/weather.sh
    /home/user/WHEREYOUWANT/weather.sh
    7/ Open alarmed, add a new event
    Title: "Yahhoo Weather for QtLockScreen"
    Type: command execution, " /home/user/WHEREYOUWANT/weather.sh"
    Cron String for updating every 2 hours: "* */2 * * *"
    Click Save Event


    That's all, i hope you like it .

    Sorry for my English I'm French, in weather.sh, script it's fully documented in french.

    I think we already had that... Look in my signature, mate

    Edit:
    Although it is really better with this Lockscreen, as with the normal one.

    Not yours background.

    In fact the background is the yahooweather png file (use too in QBW), and i parse the html file too, for making text on this image this why i need wget for downloding html file and png file.

    Next step qtLockScreen permit to put this image where you want on the qtlockscreen.

    Well I have to thank all that helped with getting my lock screen sorted yesterday.. I sighned off a little early but myself and eefo were behind the scenes sorting it... so many thanks to eefo and I will be going back though the thread to thank others too. I will be posting the end result as I think after all the work to sort out paths.. its worth it when others can see the end result.

    Also just catching the talk about putting the weather widget on the lock screen well I like that idea...its good to see the N900 being constantly updated... as I said i a previous post, the I Phone 4 after jail break looks fantastic... and there weather apps kinda makes ours look feeble in comparison.

    I I was up on this linux thing id be on it like a rash.

    Anyway thanks all... will be watchinh this thread!..

    My 0.2 version of the fringe lockscreen.
    (initial release)



    seriously hope for a userfriendly GUI for this qtlockscreen.
    also I got tons of feature wishes

    Copy following files:
    - QtLockscreen.ini to
    Code:
    /home/user/.config/sakya
    - the .pngs to
    Code:
    /etc/hildon/theme/backgrounds
    - the font to
    Code:
    /opt/usr/share/fonts
    - now head to XTerminal and
    Code:
     killall qtlockscreen
    The new Lockscreen should be active.

    Is it possible to remove the text from the notification icons and just show the icon only. for example the text: "1 unread message"
