If you want to do it you can find the script in /opt/qtlockscreen/weatherwidget.sh

The weatherwidget.sh script (it's in /opt/qtlockscreen/ directory).
Just fix it to parse the new yahoo weather (or the weather service you want to use) and outputs informations in the format:

Code:

Current: XX

Conditions: XXXXXXXX

High: XX

Low: XX

sorry for asking you again, but which lines in the weatherwidget.sh are to be replaced with the code?

Any one can help me this my problem?

:confused:

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Hey, which package is for N900? I'm new at this and dont know what I need to do, please help me. :(

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Just open the application manager on your n900, and download qtlockscreen. It's currently at version 0.1.27.
The lockscreens that have been made can be found in Extras and devel.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

is it possible that i can change the wallpaper of qtlockscreen ? http://www.fondos7.net/wallpaper-ori...2010-2605.jpeg like the one here ,actually i do have other great wallpapers on my N900 main window , but how do i change the lockscreen wallpaper to look alike the one i have on my main window ?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

This post inspired me to fiddle with the mentioned file in hope of finding a solution for the problem with QtLockscreen freezing for a moment after the power button is pressed. I added "/usr/bin/qtlockscreen" in the section called "[classify sysutils]" and after a reboot the freezing is gone. :)

I wouldn't put it into sysutils category, just because that's used for stuff like dsme, mce, dbus-daemon (only entries I have in there). However, I would put it where the standard lockscreen's file resides - which I believe is part of the 'systemui' package. And /usr/bin/systemui is in the [classify desktop] section. I'm going to test qtlockscreen in this section right now, brb.

I just realized there's a seperate category for the browser, maps, e-mail, etc, too. Which of course only contain the stock Nokia applications. People should try out putting alternative browsers, maps, e-mail clients, into this area, and see if they work better/worse.

[Edit]
Yes, putting it in the [classify desktop] section seems to work fine too. Now I imagined this meant that the [DateTime] widget of the QTLockscreen, no longer needs to have a rather short (couple minutes) of a 'background update' time, because it should now always update as soon as it displays anyway. So I set the auto-update interval in my QTLockscreen.ini file to 3600 seconds (i.e. 60 minutes, i.e. hour), and it looks like it's correctly up to date from the moment you see it anyway.

Granted, my QtLockscreen.ini file is ancient, and there's probably been some more features added since I last updated, so for all I know the background update thing just gets ignored now.

[Edit 2]
Nvm, you can still see that the time takes a tiny bit to update, if you leave the N900 locked for a while, before re-checking. So the auto-update setting for the datetime widget does still seem to have its use.

Then I decided to try with "system" partition, of which "sysutils" looked like the most suitable category and QtLockscreen held up smooth for well over a day, interrupted by a reboot due to curiosity caused by your post (I'm *almost* certain that I checked for typos after such traumatic disappointment ;) ).
