Cool.. so imaging a Qt app listening to the power button presses, on two presses it makes a call to unlock the screen
Code:
mDbusInterface->call(MCE_TKLOCK_MODE_CHANGE_REQ, "unlocked");
It then displays the app in full screen (showFullScreen()) view with two bubble images, for example.. one draggable and the other static. When the draggable bubble is dragged so it's position overlaps the position of the another bubble the application sends a system call to do whatever that bubble does..

Not quite the same but maybe could work...

Technically, it can be done, but see my edited post again.
Also, it's quite interesting that themes have a portrait lock screen image/icon, and the plugin has:
_HILDON_WM_ACTION_NO_TRANSITIONS
_HILDON_PORTRAIT_MODE_SUPPORT
_HILDON_PORTRAIT_MODE_REQUEST
set on it, so it should rotate in portrait mode, yet I don't know why it doesn't.

Edit: ha, it flips to some inverted state when forced to with CTRL+SHIFT+R, so you have to hold the phone upside down in portrait mode to see it properly, so I guess it was disabled on purpose.

How does this perform on the N8 BTW, any problems?
Installed it on my N8 today and glad to say it runs beautifully. I cannot believe how well it works even in beta form. its so clever that I can almost say "please replace my UI with this!"

No reason why it cant be ported over to N900. Uses some pretty good use of transparency/translucency effects from OpenGL with optimised bitmaps. very impressive!!

isn't it possible to access the filesystem on symbian and check if its written in qtquick (.qml files)?

i linked to that because i'm accusing nokia of stealing that idea and releasing it for another platform. it's totally something they would do.
And why do you think Nokia stole it? :D
Digia is finnish software company that makes soft for Nokia among others.
Much more likely is that Nokia liked the Digias concept and gave it a green light for beta labs.

Seriously...what do you mean "Us"..Nokia and Intel own MeeGo along with a number of other companies.

This concept now production from Nokia was also used by Qualcomm to demo their processors.

Its nothing new, Nokia has just got out the gate first and done it brilliantly.

Nobody owes you anything...dont forget that

???
Don't tell me what I should think. Fine, its not stolen. They're still *******s for taking something from MeeGo that was demonstrated on n900 direct to the N8. It's my opinion, based on how Nokia treats Maemo. How much work would it be to release it for us? Whatever... I don't really care, it looks stupid to me honestly.
