there you go guys.
the wiki page with useful codes as i had asked

http://wiki.maemo.org/Desktop_Comman...Widget_scripts

and the instructions

Most of it is cheatable i.e. codes are online or just importing txt. what do you want?

The a b c is pretty simple (when i first installed QBW i uninstalled promptly because i was so confused, but it's much easier than it looks)

Height + width are self explanatory. At the top where it says 'show' and then 'visible', changing it to 'invisible' will make the widget invisible, which i use for my transparent lock widgets. This can also be done by leaving 'command title settings' box blank. If you want a custom icon, dump the .png image to /home/user/.images/queen_beecon_dir and then in 'command title settings' box put imagename.png. 'Angle' lets you have it upside down or on its side, which is how we do the portrait screens, and 'scale' lets you change the size of the image itself. Position lets you change where in the width + height the image appears. When you create a beecon widget it has a title (you do 'add cmd' and add a title and command, the title will appear on the widget), to remove that, under 'command title settings' you'll see 'position' on the bottom line, change to 'hidden'

The 6 boxes above that (with <0 =0 =1 etc) make all blank

Command results settings is the same as above but for the results, if you have any (for my icons above there are no results, only title).

Then you have 'frames', set to disable if you don't want the widget to animate when you click it.

Lastly you have the update policies and GPS location - just say 'yes' or 'no' depending on what you want it to do - typically i just say 'yes' for 'desktop' and 'click'

Hope that helps


ETA: occasionally you'll see on here someone attach a .txt file for QBW. Save that to MyDocs, and in QBW go to 'advanced', scroll down, import file to buffer, select the .txt file, then import buffer to beecon, and save. That will give you the exact widget someone else made, like the weather widgets people put up.
