Re: simple launcher -- known problems
 

If you go under general forum "Hacking maemo Sticky" you will see how to add icons to applications withouth icons.

Re: simple launcher -- known problems
 

It's an invisible icon. They're the hardest to do. :D

(Seriously, if you only have the one empty spot, it's not that hard remembering what it represents, is it?)

Re: simple launcher -- known problems
 

Still no icon? :( I hoped it would have a default one. I'll check it out. Sorry for the inconveniences.

Re: simple launcher -- known problems
 

Okei, you're right! Works until you put another application with default icon or without icon, what then? Seriously, I still want those applications to come with icons because all this UI is based on graphical information, otherwise there could be only text showing applications. Wait a minute, there's Xterm and nothing else but text input/output...hmm:p

Re: simple launcher -- known problems
 

It does show a "default" icon for Minimo v 0.16.13-1 in mine. It's the same icon that shows on Maemo's launcher when Minimo is minimized. (say that< 3 times :D )

the icon is four squares stacked 2 x 2 with the upper left square out of alignment.

Ok here is one problem, just confirmed after testing:

- If the launcher applet is present then after any program addition or removal by the application manager the background of the home screen goes completely white, and the 'Home' menu (in the upper left) is invisible (but still there, click and it shows up).
- If I reboot the screen is ok again
- If I go into the home applet menu and remove the launcher applet before any application installation or removal then everything is ok (I re-add the launcher applet afterwards, things are still ok).

I just did the same operations twice (added and removed app), with and without the launcher applet present and the behaviour is consistent: There's a problem if the launcher applet is present during program installation/de-installation.

This is with the newest N800 firmware and simple-launcher 0.9.3

Re: simple launcher -- known problems
 

Yup, same here. If I click the "home" drop down menu then "background image" the original image is still loaded.
When I click "OK" this image reloads and the screen is back to normal.

It's as if the start up routine after a new install is cut short before the image loads...

Re: simple launcher -- known problems
 

NOW I know what is causing that problem! That has been driving me nuts. Mine does that very thing.

I do wish the icons were a little larger (ageing eyes!) and the background was transparent.

Re: simple launcher -- known problems
 

I am yet to upgrade to the latest OS on my n800, and I get the blank background also since installing the simple-launcher yesterday.

Re: simple launcher -- known problems
 

This new version is just great ! All the icons that could be selected but didn't launch anything now work, and the blank ones at least have a placeholder... Seems to work just fine on my 770.
Many thanks !
