[Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Hi! :)

QtLockscreen is a highly configurable lockscreen replacement.

How to reset the lockscreen to the default configuration:
Open a terminal and

Code:

sudo gainroot

rm .config/sakya/QtLockscreen.ini

pkill -HUP qtlockscreen

Wiki:
http://wiki.maemo.org/QtLockscreen

Configurations:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75187

Every item on the screen is configurable (position, size, font, image...).
You can also remove or add items.

Known problems:
-When the power button is clicked the app does not update the screen for 2 seconds.
This seems a Qt problem: every qt application "locks" when the power button is pressed, I don't know why.
-The rotation is slow.

To fix the "power button" problem you can try to (at your own risk):
-Edit the file /usr/share/policy/etc/rx51/syspart.conf
-Add in the section [classify desktop] a line like

Code:

/usr/bin/qtlockscreen

This is the default configuration (it is automatically created in /home/user/.config/sakya/QtLockscreen.ini the first time the app is launched):

Code:

[Main]

#This is the configuration file for QtLockscreen.

#Here you can customize the look of the lockscreen.

#

#Some notes on settings:

#  -Fonts: to set a font use a string composed with:

#   "fontName;fontSize;fontWeight;italic"

#   If fontName is empty it will be used the default system font.

#   For italic use 1 to enable it.

#   For fontWeight use one of the following values: light, normal, demibold, bold, black

#   Example: 

#     Font=";14;normal;0"

#

#  -Colors: to specify a color use R;G;B;A notation.

#   Example:

#     Color="255;255;255;255"   

#

#  -Position: you can set different position for portrait and landscape.

#   PosL is the position in landscape

#   PosP is the position in portrait

#   For position you can use the special value: left, center, right, top, bottom

#

#  -Size: : you can set different size for portrait and landscape.

#   SizeL is the size in landscape

#   SizeP is the size in portrait

#

#  -Alignment: use one of the following values: center, left, right, top, bottom



#Name of this theme

ThemeName="Default"



#Orientation: auto, landscape, portrait

Orientation="auto"



#Path to background image for Portrait (P) and Landscape (L)

BackGroundImageP="/etc/hildon/theme/backgrounds/lockslider.png"

BackGroundImageL="/etc/hildon/theme/backgrounds/lockslider.png"



#List of widgets.

#  Name is composed by WidgetType.WidgetName

#  The WidgetName must be unique.

#  Please respect the numeric order, don't leave "holes" in the list and set a correct Size.

#  If you add/remove widget remember to update the Size at the end of the list.

#  Widgets are drawn using this order: the higher number is the topmost widget

If you change the configuration file you need to kill the lockscreen (or reboot).

To kill the lockscreen:

Code:

killall qtlockscreen

I just searched for icons and images with google, if someone wants to make a better default "skin" is welcome. ;)

The package is available in extras-devel:
http://maemo.org/packages/view/qtlockscreen/

Many thanks to: MohammadAG for the backends. ;)

I called them widget but these aren't Maemo desktop widget.
You can't add a desktop widget to this lockscreen.
"Widgets" are coded specifically for the lockscreen, you can use only the widgets provided by the app (rectangle, metadata, datetime....)

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

awesome work man .
but some instructions for the noobs of how to install ?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

When the package will be in extras-devel you can just install as all the other packages (if it works, I never tested it as I said).

I don't think.
There's more work to do for a configuration GUI than for the lockscreen itself.. :)

Btw the package has been imported, I installed it and seem to work:

You probably "broke" the configuration file.
Post it.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Is it possible to add "SizeP" and "PosP" attributes for Metadata widget?

Yes: SizeL, SizeP, PosL and PosP are standard properties of all the widgets.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

The only difference with the screenshot should be the background (the default configuration uses the standard lockscreen background).

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

slide unlock will be available later?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

it shows a black background for me :S
no picture like in the snapshot...

Yes, I'll make a "slideToUnlock" widget.
I don't have much spare time during this days (and I'll be away for two weeks) so I cannot say when an update will be released.

EDIT:
@gng554: check the configuration file, the default is to look for the background at "/opt/usr/share/themes/alpha/backgrounds/lockslider.png"...maybe I set the wrong default. :p

Maybe "/etc/hildon/theme/backgrounds/lockslider.png" is a better default value! :)

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

@ sakya, thank you very much for your GREAT efforts. happy ~ :D

This is normal, it's just the background image.
Change it in the configuration file. ;)

The semi-transparent rectangles at the top and at the bottom of the screen.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

I uploaded a small update version 0.1.1.
Changelog:
* Changed default background to /etc/hildon/theme/backgrounds/lockslider.png
* Changed font settings, format = "fontName;fontSize;fontWeight;italic"

I also added some comments to the default configuration file, refer to the first post. ;)

If you changed some FontSize settings please read the comments in the configuration file and rechange your font settings string (I removed the settings named *FontSize)

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

I haven't installed it yet, but I wanted to ask those who did: does this lockscreen have the the problem the other one has, meaning that when you have a incoming call, it hangs the phone for a few seconds?

I'm sorry but I don't understand: you tried to change the icons and the lockscreen is just blank without any widget?
If this is the case you probably modified the configuration file and forget something like a double quote.
To change the notifications icon you shold change the

Code:

Icon=":/images/message.png"

The ":/" refers to the project resources, you have to use a "normal" path "/home/user/..."
