the killer app
 

Maemo mapper. The Killer App. I took it up north to the redwoods in the car...great directions...

I must say, though, back in 2005 days, HORIZON was the killer app for me.

HORIZON. Did anyone but me enjoy that beautiful graphics app??? IT KICKED ***.

Blurring of blended hues, magnification...unless you've used it, you haven't a clue-
-but if you've got the skills, could you port it for OS2006 anyways?

I just took the source and compiled it for the new OS 2006.
Enjoy!

You. are. a. god.

and I am an agnostic!!

Thank you sooooo much---

if you haven't dabbled with horizon,
try it. It's combination of color mixing, magnification, blurring, and imaging on top of images is pretty impressive!

Again, kudos sir!

May I too echo dcarter's thanks. Horizon is one of those apps that made me see my N770 in a completely new light. Too bad development seems to have stalled.
See:

It' a very nice prgram, but I had a hell of a time to find out how to end it, and I'm even now not yet entirely certain that I found the right way.

Is it correct that pressing the "home" button closes the program, or am I doing something horrible to Nokillo without realizing it?

Nope, that's right.

Pfhew! :D...

sorry but whats a sketchbook application?
Is it something between a mindmapper and gimp?

Just install Horizon -- and start being amazed. :D

If you don't like it, you can always ditch it: it installs via the Application Manager.

cant install it, not compatible.

The ITOS 2005 version is on the homepage, to be found elsewhere on this thread.

im using 2006 of course, reflashed only 2 days ago, i tried 0.36 and 0.37

Well, it worked now with the third try, dont ask me why.
Now let me try this thing :-)

...ya gotta find the sweet spot in the "navigation" zoom function
between good resolution and zero latency draw speed off the stylus.

the whole macro/micro sketching environment is a world to its own!!

blend some colors with varied intensities and pen sizes-
this was when I knew that the nokia screen was something special...

:D

For all you guys who want to compile this programm:

Get the latest sources from http://cvs.gnome.org/ (module name is horizon)
install the Maemo SDK (Scratchbox and stuff) and compile horizon for the new OS2006.
As far as I remember, it didn't need any code modifications, just a quick recompile and packaging.

For everybody else, who is just looking for the compiled program (only version 0.36 though...):
