Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

Do you mean using the desktop wallpaper as the lockscreen backgound?
If yes: I don't know where the desktop wallpaper is but probably it's just a symbolic link to the real file.
If this is the case you can set this as the backgound in the config file.

I guess, he wants his background to be exactly the same as the current desktop's one. So there could be up to 9 backgrounds, that change depending on the desktop...
P.S. Which i personally find unattractive, since in my opinion, the background should be tied to the THEME.

I noticed now that the latest update crashes when changing playlist (I didn't test it too much).
I'll fix this ASAP, wait for the next release to update.
Sorry for this problem. :)

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

I would like to request the feature to fetch custom text either from a file or by passing it to qtlockscreens cache. Would add alot of options to have shell scripts doing all the process then just feed the lockscreen with the information somehow. Then you can make a widget with text + result.

@ sakya

thanx for the updates

I wondering if qtlockscreen can support sliding date , time and other widgets we choose with slider ?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

YES! exactly that! i was searching trough whole system for where is stored info of desktop background.... but couldn't find it :p

and i think that it could be interesting, because you could use your theme wallpaper, no matter what theme is, and you don't need to replace manually wallpaper in config file for lockscreen ;)

thx for reading, and if it is doable, than ok, if not... oh well... :)

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

Will show you current active desktop and their background images.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

ok, so that means that we can get (extract) data from "schemas" files... or to follow gconf keys and use them, instead of using direct link to image???
i see there is a way to set background from a current one, or one of active desktops, just how???
(this is maybe kinda dumb question, but it is a best out of me :) , i'm no coder)

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

Will print current wallpaper location. But it will not work in qtlockscreen config file, but it's possible to make a script setting current wallpaper and kill it to refresh qtlockscreen cache. However that would be a ugly hack.
