Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.
 

Hildon Widgets do have several graphical/functional constraints ... it would be very effort consuming (and code-fattener) to develop an internal preview/miniature of the final widget look & feel.
I personally spend far much more time in developing the scripts/command driving the Beecons than customizing its graphical aspect.
It always turns out that you just need to change 3/4 parameters and ignore the other ones.
5mins average once you get acquainted to it.
Let me say that effort/benefit ratio makes it not worthy to spend time in this direction as, almost always and on the average, made 100 the time spent on the whole Beecon process creation, 70 goes to scripting, 25 to photoshopping backgrounds, icons & images, 5 to assemble final QBW settings.
Bye.

Feature request (no, not a D-Bus-related one this time :p): http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...k-up_locations

I suppose this is a feature request -

If possible, please could someone create a 'BeeCon' to display random images from Flickr's 'Most Interesting' pages? That would be great!

Hi,

Yes I think so - I wanted it to work like the 'Yahoo' desktop widget which I think must draw from the same pool (not sure). Not sure how you would get it to change images though, time delays between changes etc etc.

I wish I could try, but I have absolutely no knowledge of commands or Linux and this widget, although having great potential, it a bit too complex for me to configure without support!

Best wishes

Tom

Actually, I do have a bug, too: The choice of Nokia Sans fonts are invalid as it's "Nokia Sans" and not "Nokia, Sans"; and, indeed, when selecting Nokia Sans, it looks like plain Sans.

I'd like to place in a request for replacing that font dialog with http://wiki.maemo.org/Hildon-Extras#HeFontDialog because I also like the Droid Fonts but I'm biased...

Ok, request is on stack ...
