Right now, I won't write all of this tutorial but see this as a start. I will slowly adding all needed goodies. This is clearly a WIP as I don't have the time the write this tutorial at once. I will ignore all whining, only useful suggestions, support will appreciated. I cleary suck at writing this noob-friendly so any help is useful :)


ITS A WORK IN PROGRESS TUTORIAL

For now it's only the modified theme, as stated

Setting up the theme and icons and widgets
Code:
apt-get install black-plastic-theme awoken-icon-theme connectnow-home-widget queen-beecon cal-home-widget
For getting a better look I modified some files of the theme
Get them here: Download
  1. In the package you will find the wallpaper I used+modified from the BT5 distro.
  2. The modified bits of the Black-plastic wallpaper

paste the the plastic-dark-black folder in
Code:
/home/opt/usr/share/themes/
It probably asks you to overwrite, answer with yes.

Go to theme customizer
  1. Select Plastic Dark Black Theme
  2. Change Icon-Theme to awoken-icon-theme
  3. Apply Changes

Setting up Desktop

2 ways of adding queen beecon widgets

Way 1(All your current QB Widgets will be deleted, but most fool-proof):
  • Clear your desktop from all widgets
  • Place the .queen_beecon file in /home/user/ this will replace all your current QBW widgets, overwrite and backup if needed
  • Place the .queen_beecon_dir in /home/user/ this contains all images needed for the widgets
  • Then finally add all these pre made widgets to the desktop the way you would normally add a widget

Some fonts which I used on my device are not available on yours, so change the font settings by configuring the qbw.

Download the images and qbw file: here

Way 2: Import them one by one

I have not exported them so only way 1 is available for now

Re: [QBW] Backtrack 5 look WIP
 
is anyone having any problem with queen beecon widgets ? there are no widgets in widget list except for queen beecon widget. when i try to add that widget its just invisible and shows nothing. Anyone else having this problem ?

Re: [QBW] Backtrack 5 look WIP
 
That's probably the invisble widget for the clock, try adding more widgets. Keep adding.
There should be coming more widgets that way. I tested this today on a fresh N900.

THANK YOU mr_pingu ;)
Its working very fine on my LOVELY N900 :)
Just a question!!
How can I Edit the HTML file for the weather?!
for example modify it for Tehran (Iran)!!

Re: [QBW] Backtrack 5 look WIP
 
For changing location:
Open desktop edit mode
Press config icon of the qbw, push "edit CMD"

You will see the following command line
Code:
wget --user-agent="" -q -t 1 -T 10 -O "/home/user/.queen_beecon_dir/ywtemp.htm" "http://weather.yahoo.com/netherlands/south-holland/forinchem-729457/?unti=c" ; wget --user-agent="" -q -t 1 -T 10 -O "/home/user/.queen_beecon_dir/ywtemp.png" `grep 'forecast-icon.*http.*png' /home/user/.queen_beecon_dir/ywtemp.htm | grep -o http*[a-zA-Z0-9\\.\\-\\\\_/\\:]*.png | grep -m 1 http` |  echo "<span foreground=\\"white\\" font=\\"bold 30\\">`grep 'forecast-icon.*http.*png' /home/user/.queen_beecon_dir/ywtemp.htm  | grep -o yw-temp..[-0-9]\\* | grep -o temp..[-0-9]* | grep -o [-0-9][-0-9]*`</span>"°C ; echo `grep 'forecast-icon.*http.*png' /home/user/.queen_beecon_dir/ywtemp.htm | grep -o High[:].[-0-9][-0-9]*`°C ; echo `grep 'forecast-icon.*http.*png' /home/user/.queen_beecon_dir/ywtemp.htm | grep -o Low[:].[-0-9][-0-9]*`°C
Change the bolded bit of that cmd to your link ;)

Check update interval on the QBWsettings dialog for this widget ;) It should update normally ;)

Queen Beecon is not working for me... Somehow almost all QB widgets are blank. What am i doing wrong? I followed your tutorial.

EDIT: I reinstalled everything and again followed your tutorial, but now QE is not working... After I add QE widget it dissapears from screen.

Seems yahoo changed something and now weather widget isn't working anymore :(

Re: [QBW] Backtrack 5 look WIP
 
Can we use another source for weather widget?! :)
For example; weather.com or gismeteo.ru!
