If I get what you are saying in that you want to create a shortcut on the desktop to the Top command you will not be able to do this using dektop widget. You can however create a shortcut on the desktop that will execute Top command. Bit of command line experience needed but basically you need to create a desktop entry in /usr/share/applications/hildon/ directory.
So from the begining.

You will need root access so search the forums for rootsh.

Code:

sudo gainroot
cd /usr/share/applications/hildon/
vi topx.desktop

This will create a file in that directory called topx.desktop.
Copy this txt into that file.

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name=topx 
Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm top  
Icon=     
#X-Window-Icon=timerwidget
X-Window-Icon=     
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

Then press the Esc key twice followed by

Code:

:wq

This will save that entry into the created file and thus creating a blue icon in the application list called Topx.
You can then create a shortcut to it on the desktop the same way you would create a shortcut to any application.

Hop this helps. Simples

Don't know if someone's posted something like this already, but I thought I'd share a DCEW script I created. It shows the data transferred (up and down) over WLAN since the last phone boot. It serves the same purpose as the Personal Dataplan Monitor widget (excellent, by the way) but for wifi traffic.

Code:

/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 | grep bytes | sed 's/^.*(\([^)]*\)).*(\([^)]*\))/Dn: \1 \| Up: \2/g'

Note that the script should be all on one line, despite this site wrapping the text. Hope someone finds it helpful.

andy turn on your FMTX and tap on the widget to refresh it. it should show 113. if you use the fm boost script and then tap widget again it will refresh to show 118

/home/.desktop_comm_exec

Another bug report to the author: if this config file is manually edited it gets overwritten. That's not standard Linux program behaviour.

Also, please make config file a little less complicated. I'm aiming at spliting scripts into lines, they are all in one line now.

The file in fact is in ~/.desktop_cmd_exec

About overwriting the conf file, thanks for reminding me of this glitch!

Wow, what a bug. So obvious, but unnoticed till now. Anyway, when DCE widget resized to bigger height (with no. of lines) the widget itself is bigger, but the tapping area stays the same. This means that if you tap the widget in the lower area, it doesn't register it. Please fix this, because I'm using it for buttons: disconnect/connect/lock screen (via dbus) and I need some bigger buttons.
