Re: Custom Brightness for N900 - no ALS is now ready for install
 

Saw that, did that.
It works like a charm. Install is pretty straightforward and easy for anyone who can read.

Thanks a bunch. .. tomorrow it'll receive new coat to suit my theme. :)

Cheers

*EDIT* On a sidenote. One thing I noticed. With the ALS off, the backlight on keyboard is on all the time. Might be nice to add one more button to the widged to switch it on/off.

Re: Custom Brightness for N900 - no ALS is now ready for install
 

Uh, haven't notice that.

+1 for the button to switch keyboard backlight on/off, if possible!

Re: Custom Brightness for N900 - no ALS is now ready for install
 

i haven't noticed that, my keyboard light times out after some 30 seconds and is only lit when the screen is "up"
The button you want is that for "its sunny i don't need backlight on my keyboard :D"?

And a side note:
What do you guys think of the design?
if you have any custom design for this mod i can make it so that it will work, you just submit the design/look
im not the best designer at all.....

Re: Custom Brightness for N900 - no ALS is now ready for install
 

nah. I was really thinking about another full button on the bar for the light switch.

As for the design. Pretty basic and functional, but for me it is just tooooo big.

I'm gonna do a design to suit my theme. I looked into the code and it should be pretty easy to rewrite to fit smaller bar

Question is though: how complicated is to make it different shape? I'd kinda like to have a circle, where in the middle there would be the actuall brightness shown and the buttons will be around it. see attachment, (sorry about that crapy pic, I'm at work on my n900 and it's done in the sketch, but i guess you'll get the idea.) Also, how does QBW work with transparency? I guess it just takes the selected area as button even when there is no graphic, right?

Re: Custom Brightness for N900 - no ALS is now ready for install
 

im still learning QBW.my design is made to be low profile so it doesn't take up much space.
to do a circle will require some math an such, or just make some square points for the QBW_CLICK_ X & Y and that should work fine.
for more info on QBW look to the official thread or wiki.
else user No!No!No!Yes! is the man :)

Re: Custom Brightness for N900 - no ALS is now ready for install
 

is there anyway for you to make this status menu but instead of something like simple brightness its like a scroll like what you did on the widget... so we can choose from 2-225

Re: Custom Brightness for N900 - no ALS is now ready for install
 

Here's a screenshot of NightShift79's design in use, it is really nice
NOTE: have change position of - & +

Still waiting for confirm to put it in the zip...

Re: Custom Brightness for N900 - no ALS is now ready for install
 

simple answer: no
long answer: not that good at programming but if anybody wants to make this to such an widget you have my blessing :)
