Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 
i guess, it let's you see through the lock screen, where you suppose to see a desktop, or maybe a default lockscreen, which lies underneath it, right?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 
The transparent background shows what it's "under" the qtlockscreen graphics.
I'm sorry, I tested it only in debug mode (and I saw the desktop), but using it in "real" mode (tested now) you see the default lockscreen...so it's almost useless. :)

There's no simple solution to this problem (other than rewrite the system ui plugin that displays the stock lockscreen).

Well, then you can try yourself and tell us what it does, or maybe upload a screenshot.
P.S. i don't have my n900 right now, so can't do it for you.

Sakya, is there a chance i can replace the default lockscreen with yours? Yes, i mean like a replacement in the CSSU?

It's possible but someone (I don't know how to code a system ui plugin) should rewrite the plugin that displays the lockscreen, send the dbus messages it sends and don't display the lockscreen.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 
Wow I can see such huge improvements here!
I've been off for a while, but I really want to know, does the latest version of Qtlockscreen now supports text rotation? Like rotating the Time widget?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 
I just installed QtLockscreen Configurator and the latest QtLockscreen and now all of the themes are messed up. are you sure latest qtlockscreen app is backwards compatible?

e.g. in Absolut Vodka lockscreen, it doesn't show day and date. Thats a bit surprising because i don't think there is any DateTime Widget code changes, are there?

Dont think so.. Most users have had problems. seems like its expecting everything to be in /opt/qtlockscreen folder or something

ya something is seriously messed up cause now i loaded harmattan concept one to see whats going on and that too doesn't show day and date either. Day and Date seems to be the only thing, debug mode shows everything else working fine

Seems like the new code has a same problem.
Seems like its expecting TimeFormat to be a value evry time.
I had separate widget to display time and date seperately.
So my time widget was working fine but my date widget wasnt
so i added the value TimeFormat=" " (added space instead of leaving null) and it worked. try it out.

I just uploaded mine. The fact that the transparent screen thing (i desperately wanted it) doesnt work haunts me.

Trying to find a script that can do this but seems like its tough
gconftool gives u the active desktop and the backgrnd image but not the screenshot. i googled and found something which is qt code.
Will have to talk to sakya and see if it can be used somewhere for now.

well i also realized Rect Widget x and y settings in debug mode are not the same in actual lockscreen. it renders fine in debug mode but in actual use, its pushed down a few pixels

Oh, yes, I din't think about themes that used separate widget to display date and time.
Tomorrow (probably) I'll fix this and relaese an aupdated version to fix this.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 
i have noticed one thing more with the transparent background , dont know if the transparent background supposed to be this way or not .
while sliding the image to unlock i see the theme's background not the one i am having on my desktop and it also take a pause before unlocking .
like if i slide the image to unlock it takes few seconds first to show theme's background and then it unlocks .


edit : it shows my desktop but under the theme's background.
like first my slider image then under it the themes image and then under it my desktop :$

look at this
http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/...shot09copy.jpg

number 1 is my slider image
number 2 is theme's background/desktop image
number 3 are the queen beecon widgets i am using on my desktop

Am a little but confused.
Are you saying when you scroll from left to right, you can see your desktop in the background and not default lockscreen from usr/share/themes/alpha/backgrounds/ ???

Uploaded now version 0.1.13

Changelog:
* Added settings RotationP and RotationL to rotate widgets.
* Fixed weatherwidget.sh (naninenu)
* Fixed: bug on dateTime widget when only dateFormat is set (introduced in 0.1.12)

@eefo:
It's normal to see the qtlockscreen theme background, I see no problem.
For the part "3" (a portion of your dekstop if I understand): is your theme background smaller than 800x480 or does it have a transparent portion?
Did you take the screenshot running qtlockscreen in debug mode?
Else there's no way you can see the desktop because qtlockscreen is drawn over the stock lockscreen.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 
what about this 2 sec delay when the power button is pressed until the qtlockscreen is showned and when the phone calls? any chance that it could work without that inconvenient thing especially when the phone is trying to call and some ringtone are missed?

This seems a qt bug. Any qt application locks for a pair of seconds when the power button is pressed.
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=74581

I installed the speed-patch and it seems to solve this issue (install the patch at your own risk if you want). Other users reported that the patch solved this issue.

well, I have speedpatch and it doesn't work for me with this but thanks, seems I have to deal with it but it is better that crashes other have :)

Nothing changed in the internet icon. Disconnect and reconnect to the internet.

Hmm, yes I have tryed to get that working also.
What is the syntax for Internet widget?

sakya 2011-09-12 09:17

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 
The internet widget is easy, just position, size and the two icons to use:
Code:

[InternetIcon]
PosL="28;35"
PosP="28;35"
SizeL="24;24"
SizeP="24;24"
WifiImage="/opt/qtlockscreen/default/wifi.png"
GprsImage="/opt/qtlockscreen/default/gprs.png"

The only "problem" is that it doesn't check the connection when the lockscreen starts (I made it this way to avoid linking to qt network library which probably would increase the ram usage). If you don't see the icon just disconnect and reconnect.

fw190 2011-09-12 09:54

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 
I doesn't work for me. I've reverted to stock settings and the icon isn't there in opt/qtlockscreen/default I have only wifi icon. GPRS isn't there, in the settings file everything seems to be ok. The app doesn't show ad hoc connections but what to do with GPRS?

You're right, I forgot to add it to the resource files to install.
You can copy it manually in /opt/qtlockscreen/default

Sakya.

Even if the image is default backgrnd image is small we should not be able to see desktop. it would fill the backgrnd of it with black clr.
I actually removed the lockslider.png available in /alpha/backgrounds/ and my backgrnd ended up black.

Just tested what eefo said (small image instead of 800x400) and it still fails me

It rotates the widget.
It's a common setting (it should work with any widget), set it to the clockwise rotation angle.

Code:

[somewidget]
PosL="center;0"
PosP="center;0"
SizeL="300;80"
SizeP="300;80"
RotationP=90
RotationL=90

What happens if we, let's say, remove
/usr/lib/systemuilibsystemuiplugin_tklock.so
and reboot? :D I guess eternal reboot loop.

I don't know (I didn't try 'cause I think it might be dangerous) but I remember a message in the forums saying that the plugin also manages things like disable the touchscreen so it's not a solution to remove it....but if you want to try... :)

i am using maemo.org theme at the moment and this is the maemo.org's wallpaper which is listed as number 2 in my previous post and this is the images coming behind my slider image
http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/...wallpaper1.png


and this is my desktop image i am using at the moment , and the rectangle part is the one you are seeing in my previous post.

http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/...2-173033-1.png



and i am using load-applet which has a camera button in status bar
load applet takes 20 sec to take a screenshot .
so how i took the screenshot .
clicked on the button in the status bar and waited for 10 sec and then locked the screen , pressed the power button on 15 sec and slide my slider image and it automatically took the screenshot and the result is in front of you.

actually the image behind my slider image is not qtlockscreen's background it is actually maemo.org's background .
now i dont know if you are also using maemo.org theme and put it's wallpaper as default qtlockscreen background :$

See the post from Sakya

He had to do it on purpose to reduce the ram usage.
This happens only when you are already connected and then apply this lockscreen.
Please disconnect and reconnect and it will show up.
