Re: [debian] openmoko-panel-plugin 0.5
some cases a good alternative is to simply hide the icon of the disabled hardware components i think hiding is the worst way. other phones use to fade icons of services not available/disabled (frinst the treo does it with the bluetooth icon -- gray when disabled, blue when active). the problem with the gps icon is, that it is hard to determine if it means disabled or enabled -- the meaning of those icons is exactly opposite: deliver the crucial information at first sight w/o any pondering. that said -- i still have no idea how an easily recognized icon for gps should look like. bluetooth and wlan got their respective logos, for gsm this thingumabob showing signla strength (what's the term?) is pretty common and transports more information then just on/off. i also would like to be able to un-/lock screen with power-button .. but actually i don't know how to disable touch so it doesn't emmit events .. anyone some ideas ?

Re: [debian] openmoko-panel-plugin 0.5
- The GPS off icon doesn't use the read slashed circle contrary to all others. i just had no good ideas for new icons for the others yet .. You mean you want to get rid of the red slashed circle for the others as well? I'm surprised: I thought it was a good idea. Of course, in some cases a good alternative is to simply hide the icon of the disabled hardware components (and provide a turn on button somehow somewhere else for them). BTW, I also noticed that the USB icon (and corresponding control panel) disappeared here. Is that intentional? openmoko-panel-plugin is a lot better, tho I still think the power button should mostly be bound to a form of lock. I.e. it could put you in a lock mode where you can take several actions, one of which being unlock, others being shutdown or suspend (and the suspend should be performed by default after 30s). I.e. basically make your menu a bit more difficult to use so it can double as a lock, rename close to unlock, and add a timeout that makes it suspend. i also would like to be able to un-/lock screen with power-button .. but actually i don't know how to disable touch so it doesn't emmit events .. anyone some ideas ?

One could argue that zhone should not do suspend at all if openmoko-panel-plugin is installed. We could do that in Debian as a specific change if it is wanted Greetings, Joachim for one of the next versions i am planning to make it configureable what happens on short/long power-button-press - - if the power-window opens on short or long power-button-press or - some sort of shortcut on short press .. i also like the idea to be able to set zhone to not suspend on power- button so someone else (like our panel-plugin) would be able to react instead .. just some config-switch or so .. you know ;) ciao, christian (morlac) adams - -- - -BEGIN CONTACT BLOCK- eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --END CONTACT BLOCK-- - -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GCS$/IT;d-;s:;a?;C++(+++);UL;P++(+++); L++(+++);E---;W++;N(+);o?;K?;!w;!O;!M+;!V;PS(+);PE; Y+;PGP++;t+(++);5(+)++;X(+);R*;tv-+;b++(+++);DI++; D++(+++);G(+)++;e;h-()++;r++;y++; - --END GEEK CODE BLOCK-- -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iD4DBQFJEhgqr81gVylJyzERAoNqAKCM1wlTb06IdIZ+gT4H0kEvq69aWwCYo+Vt EsrI0mPkGuMwNjuyknProQ== =KkVn -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Here are some comments: - you probably intend to add more config options, but currently most/all tabs only contain an enable/disable button. That would be better served with a single power tab which collects the enable/disable buttons for every device. in actual version in our devel-repo there are more options on each tab .. and i have a lot more in mind ;) - The GPS off icon doesn't use the read slashed circle contrary to all others. i just had no good ideas for new icons for the others yet .. - The tooltips seems to only say on or off, so they really are useless (if not harmful) since that info is already given by the icon. So most of those tootips should be removed, or replaced with something useful (e.g. wifi network to which we're connected, whether we're connected to the internet, status of the battery, number of GPS satellites in view, ...). a lot is in my planning-queue right now .. Indeed, I see exactly the problems you describe. This said I don't like zhone's power button, so I'd be happy to disable that one. in one of the next versions our behaviour on power-button would get configureable openmoko-panel-plugin is a lot better, tho I still think the power button should mostly be bound to a form of lock. I.e. it could put you in a lock mode where you can take several actions, one of which being unlock, others being shutdown or suspend (and the suspend should be performed by default after 30s). I.e. basically make your menu a bit more difficult to use so it can double as a lock, rename close to unlock, and add a timeout that makes it suspend. i also would like to be able to un-/lock screen with power-button .. but actually i don't know how to disable touch so it doesn't emmit events .. anyone some ideas ? Stefan whose FR always wakes back up after a few seconds of suspend ciao, christian (morlac) adams - -- - -BEGIN CONTACT BLOCK- eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --END CONTACT BLOCK-- - -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GCS$/IT;d-;s:;a?;C++(+++);UL;P++(+++); L++(+++);E---;W++;N(+);o?;K?;!w;!O;!M+;!V;PS(+);PE; Y+;PGP++;t+(++);5(+)++;X(+);R*;tv-+;b++(+++);DI++; D++(+++);G(+)++;e;h-()++;r++;y++; - --END GEEK CODE BLOCK-- -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iD8DBQFJEh1Pr81gVylJyzERAtdEAJ9u/39QbJjK6jOLno4ScfcRBUdlmACgr3s8 0JixA7PDCkI1hHzohlklCO4= =4BfH -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: [debian] openmoko-panel-plugin 0.5
2008/11/5 Sebastian Ohl [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi folks, after the confusion on the last few days now i am happy to announce a new version of the openmoko-panel-plugin. Thank you for working on this, it's really useful! * new battery-icons I'm not sure I like the new icon better, but I definitely like the better information about the battery state. Is it a known problem with the Debian kernel that you only get 100mA charge after booting up - until you unplug and replug the USB lead? * enabled shutdown-button in power-button-window I'm not seeing this. Where should I be looking? * added config-area for selection of active icons What is the difference between enabled on the panel-plugin tab and enabled on each individual button page? * some more gsmIcon updates: * corrected dbus-callback-function-header * added location area code (if available from dbus) My GSM icon is indicating off, even after I got notification windows correctly indicating my provider (T-Mobile) and a reasonable-sounding signal strength... * now choosing right icon for gsm turned off * corrections to gsmStatus-update work properly * added some try-blocks around file-io to prevent IO-timeouts killing * main-thread Aha, is that what caused the GSM icon to disappear sometimes in the previous version?
