Ready?!

Preparation Steps:

1. Download and Install Queen Beecon Widget (>=v0.1.4) (Warning! It's still in extras-devel; if you like it, I need your support for testing and promoting to Testing and Extras)
   
   
2. Save following icons/images images (or Download and extract zip file attached to the thread for your convenience) and store images in the specified N900 directory, create it if not existing. (Warning: inside the zip file there could be images with numbers appended to common graphic filenames extensions - ex. football-icon.png.3 - this is NOT an error!)

5. Proceed with the import of the "Exported Instance Data" according to the following instructions:
   Import Procedure for Beecon Exported Instance Data

And Here we Are!!! But there are a few more things you need to do:

Let's customize the Beecon with your personal account data!!!

1. After import has loaded all relevant data in Main Settings Dialog Box, let's click on the "Edit Cmd" button
   
   
2. Let's scroll the command code until we find the following string:
   
   ... https://<username>:<password>@mail ...
   
   http://i43.tinypic.com/16bg8yq.png
   
   
3. And replace it according to our personal email account data. (account - without @gmail.com)
   
   
4. Save changed command with relevant button and "Save and Run" in next dialog!

Have Fun!!!

For those of you worried about security (I'm referring to the un an pwd in the url), this is a must read:

Long story short: It gets encrypted before leaving the device. You are safe using it in shell scripts/widgets.

I'm using your widget and I love it :-)

can you please make it to connect straight to internet?

when I have to upload it i have to click on it but i have to be already connected,I think it would be easier to push only only time and see already the notification . .

in any case thank you so much I think yours is one of the best widget for us!!!
