Low power screen magic. But i like the way you think. Consider that in py version there is a shlaunch function for pure fonetic delight.

do you know whether having a sufficiently large, mostly black, or otherwise hacked up oplogo can reliably hide the time without pushing itself off the screen?
I should eventually take a deeper look at the css, but i never have enough time. It is theoretically possible though.

if so, id like brightness to be a function on ambient light, charging state, and whether its past my bedtime, updated only when the image changes. i imagine writing a plugin for it.
I don't control brightness, but writing and extending lpsmagic this way will be possible (if sysuid daemon doesn't get in the way setting its brightness ).

since there are so many green subpixels, would it be easier to distinguish if it was just green?
would it save any power? {is each subpixel an led?}
could it increase burnout or decrease color acuity in a non-uniform manor?
Yes, you actually can. You can define default background and foreground color in 2.0 via config (ini). Afaik every subpixel is a led, but i haven't tested any other color yet 'cause i like plain white.

Initially i'll roll out alphas and betas only to donors and ones interested in writing plugins, but as headers say it will be released under GPLv3 when is ready.

Donors will have read-only access to my git repo till 2.0 is released. When it's mature i'll drop it on ovi store for 1€ (and probably make a UI for configuring) and sources will be available for everybody under GPL.

Btw, i'm documenting every public function that is available for plugins and intend writing microexamples as Qt docs do.

I am keeping the bin for myself now because i encountered some trouble with aegis and dbus and it does not currently work as expected.

@wolke you can find me on freenode, #harmattan evenings@CET
