Yellow Notes modding
 

made a few changes to yellownotes widget

Changes:

- bigger, customizable icons, now at the bottom of the widget
- bigger scroll bar
- max size now 800x420 (full available desktop)
- go from note 1->50 50->1
- click text field to show/hide tool bar
- the 1/3 (max 160 pixel) left and right are used for previous, next note
- show images (automatic resizes to note)
- the tool bar is now 2 parts. Toggled with the left button.
-table of contents when note number is pressed
-direct paste/copy into/from the widget (icons in the middle)
-notes reduced to 50
- added button for new/empty note
- direct paste goes directly to a new note
- "erase" note now deletes note. Old empty notes have to be deleted by hand to have direct paste working properly.
****************************
-works with portrait home screen




Notes are stored in ~./yellownotes. Any text file (name:note0xx) should work (maybe not windows .txt files)

You can send the output of a shell command directly to a note.
( ls >.yellownotes/note050)

To choose an image as note type as note:

#PiC#=/path/to/pic/#
(exact: #PiC#=)
(The line has to end with#)

Copy the files from the archive to usr/lib/hildon-desktop/ as a quick solution. Yellownotes-widget should be installed, but not running.

Copy the icons to ~/.yellownotes/

src is source

yellownotes-applet-fremantle_0.5.3_armel-old.deb is the original yellownotes with bigger icons

yellownotes-applet-fremantle_0.5.3_armel-new.deb is the newest version. Icons have to be copied from yna_mod.tar.gz.

As the only feedback I got here is a trollpost, I'd like to ask if anyone is interested in improvements for yellownotes.

No problem if not, I'll post my changes anyway as long as somebody is downloading them. Just looking for inspiration.

Hmm this looks like a nice mod. BTW is the scrollbars that big?d If so it should be finger friendly. Downloading

Definitely interested. In fact I am now using a Samsung android Tablet and wishing that below notes was present there. None of the million android notes widgets come close as none allow multiple pages. And sticky notes on maemo doesn't match below notes because you cannot resize and the toolbars prevent it being fully transparent. Will give this a try. Quite like the ability to have real full screen now.

One issue I have with yellow notes is that when my device starts up the extreme left edge of notes is cut off. Problem fixes itself when I change note page or go into settings or edit but still a bit annoying switching to my desktop with the notes and seeing part cut off initially.

Yes, it seems some parts of the widget have been packed in a wrong manner. Didn't change this yet, because I'm planning a portrait view. And with this I'll have to change some parts anyway.
