Here's the latest version. http://n2.nabble.com/file/n3010896/launcher_0.20_arm.ipk launcher_0.20_arm.ipk installing now, will let you know. wow, looks damn good! How about clicking on the date/time brigs up the Home category? (quick way home?) Also one more thing that could be applied - when launcher is running and i install new apps, launcher needs to be restarted to find out about it - perhaps running this scan while entering the Set app categories screen would be good? keep up the great work!

2009/6/2 c_c cchan...@yahoo.com Hi, Here's the latest version. http://n2.nabble.com/file/n3010896/launcher_0.20_arm.ipk launcher_0.20_arm.ipk Changes :- * Transparent Icons Thanks! * Toolbar Well, I need some feedback about whether the toolbar is better or should I go back to the hover drop down. Yes. I like it! Some issues thouhgts: 1) Utility has no icon 2) When i choose Uncategorized, toolbar is missing. Maybe ther are too many icons in this category, so toolbar is going down out of the screen? And no way to go back to other category - restart is necessary. 3) I've got to delete launcher.db made under 0.18 version. Otherwise it segfaults. 4) What do you think about possibility to attach one program to more than one category? I'd like to see terminal on every launcher screen :-) 5) What do you think about configurable size (height) of toolbar? Just Small, Medium, Large would be enough. 6) What do you think about configuration of categories order (not just alphabetic)? And thanks a lot for great job! -- jahckal ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Launcher/Home Page (alpha) Release 0.18
I like the new version - the transparency looks a lot better! I'm not sure about the scroll bar at the bottom to select the categories... I agree it's prettier - but it's also slower to find the category you want. Before it was always just two clicks, now it can be 'drag, drag, drag, click'... also - I can't figure out how to edit the list of category in this version - how do I do that? Hmm - do you track when and how many times each app is launched? I'd love to see automatically populated categories for 'most recent' and 'most popular' or something like that...

I'd be happy to receive help for the artwork. Things I can think of Immediately are :- * wallpapers for launcher * icons for launcher (basically for the categories in the toolbar) * button symbols for intone and e-tasks Whatever you can think of is welcome. I've been travelling myself and will be back probably by the 4th. And I've managed to leave my freerunners usb cable back home. Hence no updates (till I buy another one). I have got the toolbar working at the bottom of the screen - and the icons are now icons - so they should be transparent too. Will be releasing soon. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Launcher-Home-Page-%28alpha%29-Release-0.18-tp2969146p3005537.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Hi, Risto H. Kurppa wrote: c_c: you're doing a great work there (though replicating what Illume is supposed to be doing). Well, you aren't the only one who feels so :-) But since Illume seems static, this is a nice working proof of concept - that could eventually be swallowed by Illume. But who is going to do that? Raster is busy with a lot more than just Illume and I don't know of anyone else working on Illume. Plus, what is the scope of Illume per se? I'm not clear about that either. A lot of people have also said that this was a much wanted feature. Well, I got on to do what I could after waiting for some time - and hopefully some good will come out of it. Even if we can reach a state where Illume has a clear path to follow to provide what people want - launcher would have served its purpose. And - for the time being - its doing something that every other phone provides OOTB. Risto H. Kurppa wrote: Anyone have any idea how does this work with OM2009 Paroli? @ Warren Baird-2 The app is not specific to any one distribution. It scans the /usr/share/applications directory to populate the icons. When you run it for the first time, you need to go to the settings and set application categories. Applications set to category home show up in the home page. You can also set the applications to be launched on clicking the missed calls / sms notifications. The reason the icons are not transparent has much to do with my limited knowledge of elementary. I couldn't get the icons to size up. So I used the photo widget that has a white box as its background. Can anyone tell me how to size elm_icon widgets?

Re: Launcher/Home Page (alpha) Release 0.18
I tried it on OM2009 TR4, and it worked ok - Although I found that all of my apps ended up in the 'uncategorized' category... Is there a special process I have to go through to add them to a category? I also didn't see the links for the contacts, dialer, etc. that are shown on the screen shot? Is that just a matter of configuring a 'home' category? I definitely like the look. is it possible to do transparent icons though? On the Illume launcher, the icons are drawn transparently, but it looks like in launch they are drawn on a white box... Warren On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 11:14 AM, Risto H.
