i guess, it let's you see through the lock screen, where you suppose to see a desktop, or maybe a default lockscreen, which lies underneath it, right?

The transparent background shows what it's "under" the qtlockscreen graphics.
I'm sorry, I tested it only in debug mode (and I saw the desktop), but using it in "real" mode (tested now) you see the default lockscreen...so it's almost useless. :)

There's no simple solution to this problem (other than rewrite the system ui plugin that displays the stock lockscreen).

Well, then you can try yourself and tell us what it does, or maybe upload a screenshot.
P.S. i don't have my n900 right now, so can't do it for you.

Sakya, is there a chance i can replace the default lockscreen with yours? Yes, i mean like a replacement in the CSSU?

It's possible but someone (I don't know how to code a system ui plugin) should rewrite the plugin that displays the lockscreen, send the dbus messages it sends and don't display the lockscreen.

Wow I can see such huge improvements here!
I've been off for a while, but I really want to know, does the latest version of Qtlockscreen now supports text rotation? Like rotating the Time widget?

I just installed QtLockscreen Configurator and the latest QtLockscreen and now all of the themes are messed up. are you sure latest qtlockscreen app is backwards compatible?

e.g. in Absolut Vodka lockscreen, it doesn't show day and date. Thats a bit surprising because i don't think there is any DateTime Widget code changes, are there?

Dont think so.. Most users have had problems. seems like its expecting everything to be in /opt/qtlockscreen folder or something
