The real gems of information will be from people like Qosmio and D4rklar; once you get the basics for QBW if you see anything you like in the screenshots thread just ask for people's codes and they'll usually be happy to oblige.
ohh , that means if i have an icon and i wanted it to work and i need the codes for them to work , they will provide me the codes , right ?

Sure. Like, if you want the QBW codes for the media player (play/pause, skip, back) then ask and you'll get the codes, and you can use them with your own image. If you want the exact widget(s) they have, sometimes people will upload a .txt file for you to import (which is done by saving it to MyDocs, open QBW, click 'advanced', scroll down and select import file to buffer, which opens file manager, select the file, then hit import buffer to beecon).

Codes are for the widget commands, the icons are just to look pretty. The cellular strength one for instance, i gave you the code but no image, so you have just X% displayed, right? With an image, you have the same number but also a picture too.

The codes are either on the wiki you have, or by looking through threads and finding what people have made. You don't have to have icons, but if you do want them, and aren't able to make them yourself, then either download what people have uploaded in screenshots thread or look on google. For instance, when i wanted a wifi signal picture, i googled 'silver wifi icon'.


Edit: here's an old screenshot of mine: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1739

in the first photo, the icons on the bottom are all QBW. The first 4 are set so there is no text output, they are command-buttons to change profile and clock speed. So i took the silver box from Qosmio and put '900' '1GHz' 'silent' and 'general' in photoshop, and then in 'command title settings' box. So it was 'general.png', then command title settings has nothing.
In the next 4, the % outputs are the QBW results settings, and the icons work alongside them so i know what's what.

That's wmTaskSwitcher, opt/usr/share/themes/*your theme*/images

wmTaskLauncher ones. Copy one to desktop and open in photoshop to get the size, then just find an icon in google you want, picresize.com resize to the required size and move to that folder again.

When changing icons like wmTaskSwitcher, always take a backup first (just copy the files to your computer).

And if there's a symlink (an arrow on the icon) don't move it! It means the actual file is located elsewhere, so only change the ones that don't have an arrow
