Have you tried using the stylus to move the widgets?
It yields much better accuracy than using a finger.

Yes it is the stylus I am using. My finger would not even have a remote chance.

If I try to move around anywhere else it usually ends up treating it as pressing the spanner and I go into settings. Takes over 5 minutes of trial and error to just be able to move one widget. Doing this 81 times (9 times on each of 9 desktops) would take forever. Any easy fix? Can the spanner and x size be reduced for example?

Hola Etuoyo,

I recognize the problem. What I did to easier manoeuvre them around was to first enter the widget's settings and change the width to something more workable, i.e. >100 px. Than I moved them around. Lucky for me I only use four desktops and have integrated them to my wallpaper so precision is no top-priority as they're in visible anyway.

Just overwrite the default icons.
You will need to use xterm or filebox with root access.

No, it is not on by default. You can change this in fileboxs settings.
But be carefull with this.

Hi Nicolai,

Firstly, a big thanks for your desktop switcher widget its really useful for me.

Is there any chance you will update it with the option to customize the colours?

Thanks

Hello Nicolai,

I have been using your desktop switcher for quite a while and it has become a must-install-application that I dpkg whenever I flash right after installing rootsh and some skins.

I do, however, have a feature request that could make my life easier. Right now, I use an altered background and apply your buttons on top of that, setting transparancy to full and size to 48 px. whenever I do a reflash, right after installing desktop-switcher, I import my settings with gconftool-2 like this:

Code:
gconftool-2 --load /home/user/MyDocs/FreshInstallN900/desktop-switcher.entries
After that, all 12 instances of the buttons (I use the default 4 desktops) are added through the settings "add widget" panel and they show up lovely, on the right place as well. The only thing not being saved in the gconf settings is the size of the icons and their transparency-level.

So, in short, do you think itīs possible to add these two variables to be saved in gconf?

Kind regards,

Anthonie
