Hi,

I wrote this within a week of getting my n900, mostly because I wanted this info quicker than going via the TFL website and as an exercice in playing around with code on my shiny new toy. Since then there's been at least one other app which does the same thing: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=40183, although I just noticed it's been discontinued in favour of a bigger app which does more.

Personally I prefer this particular info to be in a tiny fast-starting app (possibly even as a desktop applet) rather than a bigger app. A comment was made that my version was not particularly finger-friendly (my primary aim was to make it look similar to the TFL website tube status, as well as avoiding scrolling).

For my purposes it pretty much does what I need it to do, but I was wondering whether anybody else is interested in continued work on this app or whether I should just shelve it (so far it's only made it into the developer repository).


Further improvements I was thinking of adding:
* Redo GUI code (is rather inefficient and messy currently)
* Re-write in C (python version is really only proof-of-concept of the UI)
* Auto-update status every few minutes if left running in background
* (Auto) rotate screen
* Desktop applet?

* Alternative screen layout (either replacing the current one, or as an option)

So far I've not found a way to change the colours of the buttons on the alternative layout. It looks nice and "Hildony", but not very "TFLly".

Anyway, would be interested to know whether or not there's any interest in me spending more time on this app.

Cheers,
- Micha.
