Have you guys checked FM Transmitter status menu applet thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43395&page=3

With that jacekowskis binary from here: http://jacekowski.org/Maemo/FMTXD you don't need FM boost anymore because the power level is always set to 120 and the frequency goes below 87.5.

Before going ahead with the mod I recommend reading the full thread. I have the FM Transmitter status menu applet with jacekowskis binary set up and it works very well.

well vertically my thumb uses about 1/3 of the screen, so would need to be relatively large, (whole screen) horizontally would require less space but would be harder to use while driving,

as it is with all the seperate widgets i seem to be using 1/3rd off a whole desktop i've designated for media. so even with an extra frequency function incorporating it all would be less messy than current usage,

that said, how bout a quick opinion survey? such as a) i want it small and pretty or b) i need it slightly bigger and functional?

I use only one desktop screen for everything so I want it small and pretty. Same size buttons as the media player widget so you can just place it underneath.

Am I the only one?

this way you can place it at the far side of the screen and could operate it without looking while you are driving, much safer!
I'll try and make 2 concepts. one horizontal and one vertical. Anyone got an suggesting for colors or size?

i like the green/red on off combo off the current fmtx widget, matched with the fmrds green/red status's. and for the vertical one i'd say 3 large buttons, fm on/off, skip to next preset or +0.1mhz depending which solution is implemented (if any) and skip to next song. dunno bout where the fmrds status would fit into this though...

for the small and pretty one smaller buttons would allow for previous track and rds status easier. perhaps a black and white style to fit more themes?

Well to be honest, I went a bit roque and made my own ideal widget.
If this is possible(programming wize) it would be very nice.


This is nothing more than a "snap on" widget. Because you can place widgets over each other, why not use it?

The widget itself will only be this so you can place the mediaplayerwidget on top of this one.
Any comments?
If someone could do the programming, I can give you the art
My programming skills for the Maemo platform are 0 and I don't know where to start...
