Can we replace matchbox-desktop with openmoko-today so that it gets
some testing by users and developers? Currently it simply needs to be
started with the --desktop option to enable it to act as a "desktop"
window correctly. We could modify this so that the default behaviour is
to act as desktop if you prefer.

I started openmoko-today in desktop mode on my Bv4 (instead of matchbox-desktop 2 which I had there). My first opinion:

Hi Marcin, thanks for testing!

- background color does not match UI scheme

The background is the same as shown in the mockups:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Today

- lack of icons on buttons

Sounds like you have an old build image (no icon theme available). If you have a new image then it might mean the icon theme schema isn't being set correctly, but I believe Mickey already did this.

- unknown area with "0/0" text and strange gradient background

Again, take a look at the mockup. This area will contain items about upcoming events. If you haven't got any events in your calendar then obviously there will be nothing. Perhaps we should show a "No Upcoming Events" notice?

- misses calls/unread messages text is hardcoded (can ignore that fact)

Missed calls we can now fix, however sms messages are not implemented in gsmd yet, so we can't fix that.

I suggest changing text "missed calls" to list of missed calls rather. And generally I hope that one day user will be able to select dateformat.. "Thu 01/Jan/1970" is not my favorite one..

Yes, we can add options such as date format and background pictures later.


For me best desktop now is matchbox-desktop 2 - but this one is unreleased yet so only SVN builds are possible.

matchbox-desktop 2 might be a good alternative to the current openmoko-applications program.

Regards,

Thomas
