Re: [Announce] Media bar for Maemo 5 (XpressMusic-esque)
 

I'd do that, but I'm not the best designer to talk to about such things :P
(Button suggestions/images accepted ;))

I'm a designer.
If you need something, just tell me.

When I tried 0.3, it seemed to prevent my alarm from going off in the morning.
I haven't tried to replicate it yet, but will try this weekend.

I've been waking up fine for more than a month (I've had this since December 13 :p)

@ NightShift79 any button designs will do :)

A wonderful application MohammadAG. Like many others before me, I would like to say thank you for your time and effort in making the N900 the most awesome device. Your applications are amazing and so useful. It almost seems that the possibilities are endless for this device.

On another note, how easy / difficult is it to code these types of apps? What sort of programming knowledge does one need? What are you using?

Re: [Announce] Media bar for Maemo 5 (XpressMusic-esque)
 

I know this might probably be out-of-scope of your media bar but it's worth a shot.

Just a few days ago I was commenting with a friend that the #1 reason why I have to open the keyboard on my N900 is to ctrl+backspace (aka alt-tab) away.

Would it be possible to use the proximity sensor to trigger this? It would be so awesome to not keep having to open the keyboard when I just want to switch between fullscreen apps.

Finally, thanks for all your hard work on maemo. It feels like you're breathing new life into a platform everyone else is already declaring as dead.

Re: [Announce] Media bar for Maemo 5 (XpressMusic-esque)
 

@ [Knuckles] ShortcutD does that IIRC. :)

@ lookatbowen, you're welcome :D
It's not as hard as it looks, I didn't know one bit about C/C++ in June, and I only started looking into Qt/C++ in September (and as always, I thank Venemo and alterego/tswindell for all their help here).

Re: [Announce] Media bar for Maemo 5 (XpressMusic-esque)
 

Thanks a lot for the excellent work. :)

Apparently, you are receiving very much feedback and are probably quite busy right now.
Still, I have two requests. ;)
Firstly, it would be nice if one could choose whether the "bar" is aligned left or right.
Secondly, an option for placing the "bar" beneath the present status menu would be neat as well.

Re: [Announce] Media bar for Maemo 5 (XpressMusic-esque)
 

Or how about leaving the button graphics out completely? Just icons floating, would look cool I guess. Just enable the "flat" option for the buttons in QtCreator :)

Re: [Announce] Media bar for Maemo 5 (XpressMusic-esque)
 

I know about flat, using that in the FOSS mediaplayer, but no, having no background would make it a bit ugly imo.
