Harmattan UI framework development is opened
 

Hi,

We're releasing the Harmattan UI framework as open source today: http://duiframework.wordpress.com/20...-ui-framework/

At the same time, we're transitioning to working entirely in public at http://qt.gitorious.org/maemo-6-ui-framework

It's still a work in progress, but already you can check out this very early version from the extras-devel repository by installing the Harmattan Widgets Gallery demo on your Nokia N900.

You should also be able to build and run the examples and demos on your normal Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows desktop. We will be making binary packages available as well, if you just want to see how it looks :)

Regards,
Tomas

dependency for widgets Gallery is missing in extras-devel

Will the maemo 6 be released at all? Or shall we say meego1…

Do you have something else that relies on a specific version of Qt? I've tried this on a freshly-flashed device and it works fine, pulling in all dependencies without a problem.

I've seen one instance where it wouldn't install due to a bad dependency, and removing libqt* fixed it, but that also removed a whole bunch of other packages, so you might consider that a little heavy handed - perhaps removing just libqt4-maemo5* is sufficient (and allow the application manager to pull them in again when it installs Widgets Gallery).

I'd be interested to know what you find. Please let us know, and if there's something to correct, we'll do so.

Videos of the Maemo 6 Widgets Gallery demo would be great!

Intel already developed a MID UI for Moblin. So will this one then replace Intel's MID UI in MeeGo?

Apparently I can't just send "Soon!" because it's too short.

Pretty nice.

Ctrl+B, Ctrl+N and Ctrl+M turn on some overlays (name of widget is N and layout/spacing is M, don't know what B is supposed to do) for debugging.

how about fixing the problems in Maemo 5 first?

If you look at the MeeGo architecture picture, you will see that there are several reference user interfaces for different classes of devices.

In the same way that it doesn't really make sense to directly port desktop applications to mobile, we are still finding out what works best on different device types. The common factor you can rely on across all MeeGo devices at the moment is Qt. That doesn't necessarily mean a Qt based UI is the optimal fit for a MID type of device. Let's see :)
