Help me to code for Sailfish OS
 

Decided to create one super-thread for all the questions about Sailfish OS coding.

You can post random questions about coding here and help others to code.

Sailfish OS only.

Well... I can start with newbie question...:

There is very good software for N9 and now it's source is available github under GPL3... So it is possible port to Sailfish OS... Is there any easy tools for doing that?

Yes. I have installed SDK for N9 before and one time to Sailfish too... But don't have any clue how different UI-things are, what to change etc...

Link to that software -> https://github.com/baleboy/timesheet

Thanks.

I use this everyday and one reason why still use N9 and not Sailfish -phone.

No easy port qt4 -> qt5, but absolutely doable

Thanks...

Can you give me little more guidance or is it better use Google? Or just forget and wait if someone else will do it?

Re: Help me to code for Sailfish OS
 

The UI-stuff, that is the QtQuick QML code, is conceptually nearly identical on Harmattan and SailfishOS, but will probably require a bit more rework, as the components on SFOS have different names, properties, features, etc. Still, most components probably have equivalents, so that is doable as well.

And of course it's not better to use Google. Try duckduckgo :P

Re: Help me to code for Sailfish OS
 

Thanks for this thread - my questions are continual ...
One thing I'm wondering about atm is the newer ApplicationWallpaper.qml. I previously could edit this file pretty easily to customize the bg of apps by just changing "...(0, 0, 0, .65)" line to whatever rgb and opacity values I want. Now, (starting with 3.0, I think), the opacity value still applies as expected, but the color values don't. It seems like it's only black, no matter what rgb values you enter. I figured it has something to do with the other info in the file, (like "effect: "glass" overlayColor: Theme.colorScheme === Theme.DarkOnLight", etc), but I have tweaked with no results. I also get the sense that the ApplicationWindow file plays a role, but it's a bigger file, and can't tell what most of it is referring to...

Re: Help me to code for Sailfish OS
 

please explain what is ApplicationWallpaper.qml and where it located? and example of your previous mods

/usr/share/lipstick-jolla-home-qt/compositor/ApplicationWallpaper.qml;
previous mod shown in screenshot, from this thread - https://together.jolla.com/question/...odding-system/

I think I remember ApplicationWindow qml is in /usr/lib/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Silica/private
