Thank you for that

There are a few restrictions to why I cannot make a perfect copy of the N9 lockscreen.

1. N900 does not "swype". The lockscreen background is actually the slider which mimics the swype, revealing a N9 menu screenshot (which is the background). Sakya has tried to support a slider that reaveals the actual desktop but with no positive results.

2. N900 does not support "live notifications". You can see that in the N9 the notifications contain part of the text or message and thy move up when new ones appear. In N900 we only have the number of missed calls and unread messages and their posistion on the screen is fixed.

3. Full width notifications look bad when sliding. Since its only the slider that moves to the right, the notifications would stay on top of the backgorund overlapping its icons. That's why the phone unlocks just a few pixels before reaching the notifications.

4. Widgets cannot move along with the slider. That would be too much to ask and I am not sure if it is even possible without rewriting the whole maemo5 UI.

As you can see my harmattan lockscreens only look like the actual harmattan lockscreens and there is nothing the .ini can do about it... but because its the N900 we are talking about, let's say "at the momment"
