Hello everyone

For some time now I have been wanting a StumbleUpon toolbar for MicroB as I have been an avid Stumbler for a few years.

Now with a little testing and the help from Sash and Agogdata we have now perfected a method for launching StumbleUpon in MicroB with a similar experience to the Desktop add-on using the AWESOME Queen Beecon Widget creator.

It should be noted that this is NOT an add-on for MicroB but a method to Launch the default web browser and browse the web whilst keeping the StumbleUpon tool bar at the header of the webpage, like so...


The tool bar does not really retract from the area displayed on screen as this is a header for the webpage itself and not apart of MicroB. The Tool bar will roll up as you scroll down the page. The Buttons are also displayed as the StumbleUpon team designed them, so they may seem a little small for finger friendly use but they are still perfectly functional with the Finger nail and or Stylus in standard view. (You can still Zoom in if you wish?)


What do think?




Installation Steps:

Adding the SU Icon

Download the Stumble.png image Below and save it to /home/user/.queen_beecon_dir

Now click on "Advanced" and select Go Pro and enter the following script in to the Command Test Drive field...

Then tap Update, return to settings the, Save and to exit the Desktop Menu. The Icon Snippet should now be set up for you to launch MicroB with the StumbleUpon tool bar from the desktop.

Happy Stumbling
