ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Hey,

most of the time I use only two internet connections, gprs and my wifi at home.
As I am tired from open the internet connection wizard, wait and than select one of my stored connections, I made this little desktop widget.

You can put one or more on your desktop and define which connection it should open.

Very nice! :) Works great. This makes everything alot easier for me.

Have.you considered to add the gprs icon to gprs widgets, instead of the wifi icon? :)

does it also close the connection when pressed again? Or just open a connection? Thanx

Hi,

@mthmob: First I wanted two different images for gprs and wlan,
but I had absolutly no idea how a gprs icon should look like.

@Ronaldo:You can see a screenshot in this thread http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=15. There are two ConnectNow widgest on the left side under the dataplan widget.

@biggzy: Yes, you can tap on the icons to open a connection, close
an open connection and to switch to another connection.
At the moment I don't use icon images, they are painted directly.
I may change the widgets to use different icons for every connection.
But I need two icons, one for every connection state (connected and disconnected).

Brilliant widget!

I often switch between just two connections, home WiFi, and 3G internet too, so this is much quicker than tapping the menu bar, then go into internet connections. I wanted a quick way to disconnect from the internet too, this is also perfect for that too.

Keep up the good work!

Thanx for the reply, if you need any icons just ask, i have lots of icons that match the maemo5 icons.

Just to post a little annoyance, it's really hard to move these widgets about, and I had one stuck on my desktop. It wouldn't move at all, as soon as it's pressed, it came up with the settings. Maybe thats something you could look at :)
