oh also forgot to add you can access the app menu with a button and could possibly pull up more information?
i don't know how hard this would be to make and if its at all possible?

thanks powderhousemessage

It's a nice idea. But to be honest, I'd prefer gesture-based window management! ;)

feel incredibly stupid but what is that? picture?
The thing you have on MeeGo/WebOS:
webos: swipe up to minimize, drag and swipe up again to close
meego: swipe down to close, swipe up/horizontally to minimize

went to clean N900 xterminal with root
got this

NOKIA N900:~$ apt -get source qbw nemo-dockbar
reading package lists...done
building dependency tree
reading state information....done

E. you must put some 'source' URIs in your sources. list
Nokia -N900 :~$

DO I NEED QBW INSTALLED?

Add this to your sources.list
Code:
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel fremantle free non-free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel fremantle free

I'd love to have a cont. scrollingbar to further "unclutter" my desktops, but I'd hate to have to use QWB. No way around it, I suppose?

We'd have to mess with hildon-desktop (or something) or create a widget from scratch

would happily donate and test :D

To quote Soundgarden, "might do it". But not now. After the coding competition ;)
EDIT: and I don't promise I'll be successful

It is not possible to use any kind of gestures within hildon except for singleclick, you will open up the hildonconfiguration if you try.

Support my suggestion in the CSSU thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...85#post1243185
-And when hildon is fixed, then i would be able to write that dockbar within an hour.

Swipe will steal useable gestures, like scrolling for examlpe, unless it only is done in certain areas where there shouldnt have been any use of them anyway.

And i dont understand what stealing gestures should have for use on a N900 either, on a lumia or a iphone then yes, but not on a N900, no...
Sorry but, I just cant imagine that a swipe-user actually is in the usercategory that wouldnt be more happy with an another kind of phone.
So, I would say that to get swipe, just sell the N900 and buy a swipephone.

(On the other hand, if the right section of the sourcecode is located , then nothing will prevent gestures from being made userconfigurable either and swipe could be put in the bottom below everything else..)

I updated the cssu thread with a link to hildon sourcecode.
Anyone that can pinpoint where in the sources the gestures gets interrupted?

for this idea of continous bar i think qml will do a great job, i dont like the idea of full os being in qml, sometimes qt to me feels great

I dont think it would matter what language a continous bar is written in ;) As soon as the scrollbar is populated by the program, the program itself will go to sleep, and the scrolling is all taken care of by the OS anyway.

But as long as the OS, or more presicely Hildon-desktop, actively prevents gestures to scroll the bar, then it is useless.

Code:
import gtk
import hildondesktop

class HelloHomePlugin(hildondesktop.HomePluginItem):
    def __init__(self):
        hildondesktop.HomePluginItem.__init__(self)

 /*add code for a scrollable pane here, and populate it with its contents*/

Yes, we kan do what we want :)

And from what i suspect now, it is something called clutter that interprets gestures and draws the desktop, so it is probably very easy to do that too, if only the (source-) code gets broken :rolleyes: so we know where and what to do...
