it still completely turns off the backlight, making the screen essentially unreadable... very similar to a laptop screen.

I suppose in direct lighting it would be ok, but otherwise, makes the screen as useless as if it were completely off

Well, you can find some direct lighting and get through; when I did it, I had to ssh/vnc in to make sure I didn't have anything important open. (And since I was in, just fixed the light instead of rebooting.)

I agree. I'm just saying, it might be nice to not completely exclude the n810 users from the warning regarding what essentially is turning off your screen.

summatusmentis: I'll consider rewording the warning there.

Also of note: https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/gbo...il&bounty_id=2

There is now an official bounty on fixing the menu container. It isn't much, but I'm poor, and hey, maybe it's enough incentive to get someone who knows what's going on with GTK (which I don't) to take a look?

Am I missing something with this applet?

I thought that besides adding functionality it was supposed to replace the separate sound and brightness status-bar icons.

After installing the applet, the new icon didn't show until a reboot--but the default sound and brightness icons are still showing. Even if you somehow hid them, there are still functions provided by those icons which are not provided in the advanced-backlight applet.

Is there something more that I'm supposed to be doing?

Open Control panel, double tap Panels, tap the Status bar tab, uncheck the Nokia applets.

It's been explained in the thread a couple times.

Yes, disabling the status bar applets makes them disappear but the combined applet doesn't replace all of their functions (like display settings and LEDs, sound settings, etc.). You have to re-enable them in order to make any changes. It seems a little silly to have to do that.

Would it be possible for this combined applet to link to the Nokia applets to allow for a common interface for making changes?

Nope, because Nokia are tight arses with their source code.

How about just opening the Control panel from the Application menu? You don't need to get to the Display and Sound settings from the applets. :\ All the applets are doing is showing you the control panels from there.

@rm_you: You can get rid of all that frame stuff in your code. It looks like you almost had it the first time but you got the hint wrong. After the line:

Code:
window = hildon_desktop_popup_window_new(0, GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL, HD_POPUP_WINDOW_DIRECTION_RIGHT_BOTTOM);
add these 2 lines:

Code:
gtk_window_set_type_hint(window, GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_NOTIFICATION);
gtk_window_set_decorated(window, TRUE);
