Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

Wow sakya, you are doing such great work. I think QtLockscreen is actually going to replace my music player! :D

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

hey sakya , upgrading to latest version does not change my .ini file :(
it stays on the previous version .
what should i do ?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

The updated version's .ini file is now called QtLockscreen.ini.default so if you want to use it just remove the .default at the end.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

The updates never overwrite the configuration file (do you want your lockscreen to reset to the default every time you update?).
The default configuration file is always copied to /home/user/.config/sakya/QtLockscreen.ini.default (so you can check if there are new instructions in the comment or so)

already done, just testing now to see what impact it's having. it's impoved a lot by just cutting album art. :)

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

Thanks for this great app. Instead of the N900's default mechanism where the screen goes off after a specified timeout, is there an option where the screen can just dim instead and show the lockscreen? Something like what the htc hd2 and other models do? Is there perhaps some command to do it? If there isn't , is there a possibility of having this feature in qtlockscreen? At the risk of possibly higher battery drain, I would much rather see the lockscreen than have my screen go off after a while.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

can some one please help us all with a step by step procedure to install this amazing thing..

also is a GUI based version coming any soon ?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

not sure about the GUI .
and to install , simple use the app manager , it's in devel .

and to edit your lockscreen go to
/home/user/.config/sakya/

here you will see two files edit Qtlockscreen.ini

the DateTime widgets doesn't work for me, it seems to show the system clock which is 24hrs

it shows " 14:32
Monday 25/07/2011"

instead of what you posted

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

The documentation for the format is here:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qdatetime.html#toString

I think he made three datetime widgets:
-one for the time with format "hh:mm"
-one for the "AM/PM" with format "A"
-one for the date

From the documentation "hh:mm" will be 24H, because it's not followed by "A" or "a".
I'll fix this adding an explicit settings to set HH24 or AMPM. ;)

EDIT:
looking at the ini it should work for the time:
