[Announce] QtLockscreenConfig: configuration utility for QtLockscreen - maemo.org

sakya | # 1 | 2011-09-09, 13:20 | Report

Hi!

QtLockscreenConfig is a little utility to set the QtLockscreen's active theme.
You can also preview the theme (keep the theme name pressed for the context menu and select "Preview").

Screenshot:

The utility only lists correctly installed themes.

A theme should be composed by:
-The configuration file (name it themeName.ini) in /opt/qtlockscreen
-A directory containing the images (name it /opt/qtlockscreen/themeName)
-Fonts (if needed) to be installed in /usr/share/fonts

The screenshots are generated using QtLockscreen, so the first time you execute it you'll have to wait some seconds for the thumbnails to show.
If you update a theme you can clear the screenshots cache from the main menu or update just one theme's screenshot from the theme menu.

Awesome! This is a great idea. Now I can switch if I get bored.

Ops, I'll fix the crash.
You probably don't have any theme correctly installed in /opt/qtlockscreen
To fix it try:

Code:

sudo gainroot
cp /home/user/.config/sakya/QtLockscreen.ini /opt/qtlockscreen/test.ini

change test.ini with the name of the theme you're using. If you're using the default one call it default.ini

...or install a recent theme that is made to be installed in /opt/qtlockscreen

Thanks for QtLockscreenConfig, but unfortunately the app does not start. I have tried to start the app on two N900 - on both I have installed QtLockscreen too.
