I reported some issues in relevant thread for desktop switch command run by desktop widget
Can't understand what could be the culprit! :confused:

"Edit Cmd"
For 4 Screens: Change 89 to 200
For 5 Screens: Change 89 to 160
For 6 Screens: Change 89 to 133
For 7 Screens: Change 89 to 114
For 8 Screens: Change 89 to 100

Graph your own desktop bar as tall as you like and click on fractions of the bar to switch to relevant desktop

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget - Greedy Desktop Switcher
 

There are two issues actually but it seems the modified-hildon-desktop and modified-hildon-home are the culprits.

Matan's taking care of 'em both and suggested patched modified-hildon-desktop replacement:
http://my.svgalib.org/770/n900/modif..._3.3_armel.deb

And this is an abstract of results
Desktop gets switched and:

>Issue 1) At times the target desktop doesn't respond any more to finger
>swipe (you need to use standby switch on right side of phone to blank
>screen and then use it again to switch screen on in order for swipe to
>start working again) demo HERE

This will be kept under observation for a couple of days ... I'll let you know

>Issue 2) Every time I switch desktop, the target desktop doesn't seem
>to receive the "notify::is-on-current-desktop" signal any more and
>widgets supposed to receive that signal and handle it do not process
>desktop switch condition any more

This one seems to be solved.

Download the zip folder of the color you want an then move images to

/home/user/.queen_beecon_dir

Extract script.zip to your desired folder
