I have configured it with Queen Beecons for the buttons, Friendly-FM for the FM enabler, and shortcutd for using the proximity sensor to hot-swap between desktop and Mobile Maps so that she's in complete control all the time.



The more I learn about this phone the more reluctant I am to give it up, you can keep your iPhones, stuff Android, kissmyass Symbian, and virtually every other device out there currently. My N900 gives me the freedome to customise beyond belief and make individual desktops specific to task or conditions without compromising choice.

Download Queen Beecon first of all. Then you will need to clear one desktop - if you have the CSSU installed then it won't be a problem, as you should have the 9 desktop hack incorporated as a basic core function. I simply enabled one of the extra desktops and customised it from there. Drop in the wallpaper from HERE and we're ready for the beecons.

Download the attached file (thanks to the incredibly gifted @techie for the exported beecon instances) and unzip it. If it's not already there, transfer the entire folder to your MyDocs folder. Open the "Play.txt" using leafpad;

Code:

leafpad /home/user/MyDocs/MediaControlWidgets/Play.txt

Press Ctrl + A to highlight all the text then press Ctrl + C to copy it. Then add a beecon on your desktop and then go to configure it. Click onthe "Advanced" button to bring up the advanced dialogue. Scroll right to the bottom. Drop the cursor right in the very bottom box and press Ctrl + V to paste the contents of the clipboard.

The moment of truth next - click on the "Import Buffer to Beecon" button. It should be a successful import without any issues. You now have the "Play / Pause" button configured but not with the image. So, the images that are in the attached file need to be copied into the standard beecon image directory;

Code:

mv /home/user/MyDocs/MediaControlWidgets/*.png /home/user/MyDocs/.images/queen_beecon_dir/

Now, go and configure the beecon again and set the Widget size as follows:
Width - 210 pixels
Height - 210 pixels

You are now free to drop it in position on the desktop.

Repeat the beecon import process with both the "Next.txt" and "Previous.txt" beecon exports - the images are already in place.

For ease of use for my good lady I have also made it hot-swappable using proximityd and shortcutd - so all she has to do is touch the proxy sensor to bring up the task switching pane. This obviously has some benefits when driving on roads you don't know. You can download these from the repos and configure within the main "Settings" control panel - I have disabled the "Proximity long press" function so that accidentally swapping into the phone doesn't happen. You can also download Friendly FM to enable the ease of FM transmitter function.

FYI Mobile Maps 10 and the default media player integrate seamlessly so it works flawlessly over FM transmitter - awesome.
Enjoy.
