Re: My Facebook client for the n900
 
I'm having trouble loggin in.

Typing my e-mail is a pain, as it starts suggesting words and adding random capitals in there :(

Also, when typing the password, does it start with a lowercase or uppercase letter? And to add numbers, do we need to hold down the function key, then press the letter like some websites need, or can i press the function button and release it, then press the number?

These are all bugs in Qt, and all regrettably have to wait until the PR1.2 release before we'll get the fixes. Doing both is easier (I find) when using the virtual keyboard.

The password field will have the first letter autocapitalised just to irritate you. To get around this, type something like the following:
'ffoobar', then go back to the start and delete the first 'f', which will have been incorrectly capitalised.

On the bright side, you won't need to do it often. :D

I put many hours into making that scrolling smooth, so I'm very glad to hear it. :)

Couple of things on initial thoughts:

Some people have blank statuses, when i click them, it turns out its an app or something posting it as their status, is there a way you can filter them, so it doesn't return a blank status?

Secondly, maybe a way to change the font size? Witter uses the volume buttons to increase or decrease the font size, nice feature

One more, can you add alittle more spacing between the statuses? I think that would improove readability alot!

If you need help with any UI design, i could try and help, depending if i have the time, as i'm a web and graphic designer :)

This is marked as a known issue. It will be addressed in a future update - I don't know when yet. I want to fix a few bugs before I start adding more features.

This is probably possible. Added to my list; i'll have to look into it. :)

I'm hesitant to do this. The Fremantle UI guidelines specify a row size of 70px, so I want to try to stay 'true' to them. There's also the problem that if a row *isn't* 70px tall, Qt makes it perform rather badly at the moment.[1]

I'll think about it though :)

Generally: I don't have problems designing things, I do it as I go and refine as I use it and get feedback on it too. You're more than welcome to help out (as you have done here!) - please keep going, it's helpful!

Definitely not for the next 24 hours.

After that, I really don't know. It depends how much time I have to spend on FaceBrick total, and how much other stuff has to be done. At the moment I'm staying up a bit late to fix a few bugs anyway.

I will *try* to get it in the repos as soon as I can, because I know it's inconvenient to have to go elsewhere and fiddle around to install it.
