When we should expect this to hit the extras-devel?

Some sites offer iPhone apps for free. Thats why I think it might be possible that they are willing to support QSportsEvent by giving access to their data under certain conditions...maybe ads or links to those websites or the app published under their name/brand.

Examples:

To do it, just launch X Terminal and type 'qsportsevent' (without the quotes, of course). Note! Don't press the Add/Remove buttons in the Favourites tab as that can cause the app to crash for another reason (in version 0.0.4 the installed Db is read only, so no updates are possible).

The xTerm trick works for me also !

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?

Ok, I'm working on some very 'prototype' kind of functionality for QSportsEvent:D. I plan to use it for today's Champions League semifinal. I might be able to release it to this forum in time. Let's see if it is of any interest to anyone...

I will mainly follow Inter Milan. In case you rather want to follow Barcelona, please provide a file in the following format:

Code:

Inter|1|Francesco Toldo

Inter|12|Júlio César

Inter|21|Paolo Orlandoni

Inter|51|Vid Belec

Inter|2|Iván Córdoba

Inter|4|Javier Zanetti

Inter|6|Lucio

Inter|13|Maicon

Inter|23|Marco Materazzi

Inter|25|Walter Samuel

Inter|26|Cristian Chivu

Inter|39|Davide Santon

Inter|46|Luca Caldirola

Inter|5|Dejan Stankovic

Inter|7|Ricardo Quaresma

Inter|8|Thiago Motta

Inter|10|Wesley Sneijder

Inter|11|Sulley Muntari

Inter|15|René Krhin

Inter|19|Esteban Cambiasso

Inter|20|Joel Chukwuma Obi

Inter|52|Antonio Esposito

Inter|53|Luca Tremolada

Inter|9|Samuel Eto'o

Inter|17|MacDonald Mariga

Inter|22|Diego Milito

Inter|27|Goran Pandev

Inter|45|Mario Balotelli

Inter|49|Mattia Destro

Inter|89|Marko Arnautovic

You could get the data from here: http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionslea...uad/index.html

You could probably also find Lyon and B. Munchen around there...

:D

Seems the Autobuilder now can handle pre PR1.2/Qt4.6, so I will give it a try in the next version, maybe today, maybe not...;)

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?

To keep the readability high I have taken out the "Sports Tracker" name since the title will be under the icon anyway. We can either have just a Q (which I suggest)

or we have this:

For all: .png + Transparent Background. :)

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?

As a shortcut on the desktop, the name is not there and would have to be in the icon. 'Q' is too generic as many apps built with Qt start with Q, e.g., my own QTeachMe. I really liked the Q shaped football!

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?

That is why I designed my icon with a black background. White on black is much more readable than black on white. I assure you that the icon will be readable if you put a light colour on a dark background. Even text,

Hi!
If you want to use another color, mixed colors or any other icons please let me know. I will be more than happy to see what I can do depending on my schedule...

Thanks! I'll certainly make use of those! Can I request two more?

Size 64x64 and 48x48.
'+' icon in green (like traffic light green)
'-' icon in red (like traffic light red)

But yeah, I agree with the Q, it's too broad as a stand-alone: will do a new one today. Problem is, we are talking about a minuscule button in sizes 64x64 / 48x48, we loose a lot of detail we do not even need to include, therefore I strongly advice to keep it simple.

@pantera1989, without trying to step on your toes, the ones your made are nice pictures, but have not got much to do with standard logo/icon design. :(
