You could load an image called "logo.png" into that place and let the user choose whichever they want. By default, put whatever free image as you like, and let people personalize they way they want. I could put in the maemo logo, someone the penguin mascotte and so on...

About the power save feature, that is an important thing. When the screen dims down or the tablet goes in "sleep mode" (i.e. the tablet is in low power consuption), and same when it wakes up, it sends out events. Python for Maemo have APIs that let you handle this events accordingly.
This allow your application to stop handling refresh events when the tablet's screen is dimmed down and start again (refreshing the application) when it receives the wake up event.

Is not that much difficult to develop in.
Probably you should start from here: http://maemo.org/development/documen...o_devicestate/

Great app, btw
ops, sorry aniello but sometime im just dislessic and i made up that daniel...
mh the idea to let peope add their own personalization iss not bad but i think is a bit too hard for the casual users without a dialog inside the app. btw, having the logo.png open to customizations could appel some advanced user.
Ill take a look to tha link for the power save feature.
All the advices on Itt really helped me a lot to speed up things. Great job guys
