Thank you Nicolai,
This is one of best things I've installed.
So simple but so useful.
Excellent work.

Yes, I know. It is a little bit to small. I am only able to move the widget
with the stylus :-)

At the moment I do some testing for the optimal size. What would
be the optimal size for you?

Personally, I wouldn't mind it being the same size as the application shortcut widgets.

I don't know if you can put an invisible border around the icons, which will push the close and settings buttons further out too?

is there any chance of making the part round the icon match the rest of the icon backgrouds on the desktop with curved edges etc?

Good idea, I'll try it.

This widget may also improve battery life since using the connection wizard will scan for any wireless connections in the area.

New version in extras-devel. Two changes:

1. It is bigger (to big?)
2. You can use your own icons. For example, if you have these icons
/home/user/disconnected.png
/home/user/connected.png
add those two lines to the config file
connectedIcon=/home/user/connected.png
disconnectedIcon=/home/user/disconnected.png

The config file for this widget is:
/home/user/.connectnow_home_widget

Every connection entry in your config file can define his own icons.

This version (0.3) is in extras-devel. But the autobuilder is using
PR 1.2 SDK that means this version is not installable until we get
PR 1.2. for our devices. If you cannot wait, take this one:
Attached Files
File Type: deb connectnow-home-widget_0.3_armel.deb (11.5 KB, 116 views)

For my taste the little icon is OK. You need a stylus to set its place on Desktop, but once it is there, you wouldn't need to move it anymore and it's big enough to be controlled by finger still.

Only problem is the feature in desktop, that when you leave your finger (or something else) touch "too" long the screen, it goes to edit mode and then everything usually gets messed up because it was unintentional. I hope this will be fixed in PR1.2.
