By design when Show=Visible, the background canvas is drawn when clicked to give visual feedback, you can change the color however of the hexagonal frame. (Just to keep original beehive related branding )

However ... why not reconsidering using individual QBWs for each hotspot ... you also have the advantage to be able to customize the progress animation for each hotspot and hide every other unwanted trace of the widget... (but the monitor QBW)

i dont like the idea to have too many widgets on my desktop.

the main reason why i switched from queen beecon to desktop
command widget and now back is that i had some serious issues
with hildon-desktop resp. hildon-home and i thought that it was
caused by qbw / desktop command widget. in my case switching
back to qbw gave me much more stability since two weeks. in
case of a crash i had to add all the single widgets which was
annoying, therefore i will try to go for one "big" widget instead :-)


Blues


p.s. by the way, it works great so far.

Well, I'm having no hildon-home crash/unresponsiveness or battery drain issues with all this so far.

Queen BeeCon Widget release 1.0.4 is now in extras-devel
Partial Change Log
Code:
queen-beecon (1.0.4)

  * New: Implemented the possibility to have the Progress Animation displayed at widget click X,Y coordinates; with relevant configuration parameter "progressAnimationAtClickXY"   
  * New: Implemented the possibility to hide the background Canvas on click both for Beecons and Snippets with relevant configuration parameter "hideClickCanvas"   
  * Changed: Some optimizations in QBW at startup, expecially for instances with execute @startup flag; should speed up widget appearance
  * Changed: Checks for obsolete instances in configuration file moved to Advanced Settings and Tools Dialog; check is performed upon entering. 
  * Changed: Some optimizations in progress icon animation logic
  * Changed: Some optimization in multiple-clicks management
  * Bugfixing: Command output for Test Drive in Advanced Settings and Tools Dialog still buggy and not displaying complete output; fixed
  * Bugfixing: Logic for multiple clicks count was a bit bugged; fixed
  * Bugfixing: DBUS Signal emission at end of command execution was misplaced ; fixed
  * Bugfixing: Logging info incorrect for timeout seconds count function GetSeconds; fixed

queen-beecon (1.0.3)

  * New: Added button to change Logger Verbosity in Advanced Settings and Tools Dialog Box
  * New: Implementation of Command and Results image orientation angle (w/ relevant configuration parameters)
  * New: Added edit box in Settings Dialog for "rememberMe" value. Can now be initialized also from widget and not only via DBUS method  
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which holds the number of times a QBW was pressed/clicked: $QBW_CLICKS_COUNT; useful for handling single/double/triple... clicks and behave accordingly (Tested up to 12 ... :) )
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which hold X and Y coordinates where a QBW was pressed/clicked: $QBW_CLICK_X, $QBW_CLICK_Y; useful for handling different arbitrary/dynamic hotspots on widgets via launched shell scripts 
  * Changed: Now QBW instances with status disabled/minimized (black small 60x60 inactive sleeping bee icon) are enable again on double-click and non on single-click
  * Bugfixing: TestDrive in Advanced Settings and Tools Dialog Box was not fetching the whole command output; fixed   
  * Bugfixing: Typos in "Edit Cmd" Dialog Box title; fixed   
  * Bugfixing: Not proper memory deallocation of some strings parameter in Settings Dialog; fixed    

queen-beecon (1.0.2)

  * Source Modules: Changed architecture of source module ... now split into single modules according to QBW subfunctions ... expect some sneaky regressions!!!
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which holds Network Connection status: $QBW_IS_CONNECTED (true=QBW Instance is connected to the network (either WLAN or GPRS) false=QBW Instance is NOT connected to the network (either WLAN or GPRS))
  * Changed: In Settings Dialog Box changed "Custom(")" to "Custom(Secs)" for custom timer label
  * Changed: In Advanced Settings and Tools Dialog Box it's now possible to scroll dialog both vertically and horizontally. So all buttons will be accessible even if you have big fonts 
  * Changed: In Advanced Settings and Tools Dialog Box added more checks for Import Instance/Command Data (It should now be more restrictive on Import Data consistency/congruency)
  * Bugfixing: System Proxy fetching logic bugged; fixed
  * Bugfixing: reset_rearm_timer DBUS method call was not disabling timer when timer update was disabled; fixed
  * Bugfixing: set_param_uint32 DBUS method call had problems if values = 0; fixed

  * New: Added "On Sight" Update Policy (If flagged, content is not updated if widget is out of sight (on other desktop) or if display is locked or in stand-by)   
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which holds "On Sight" or "Out Of Sight" status: $QBW_ON_SIGHT (true=QBW Instance is "ON SIGHT", that is widget is on current desktop and display is not locked or on stand by. false=QBW Instance is not on current desktop and visible or display is off or on stand by)
  * New: DBUS method "is_on_sight" which returns true (QBW Instance is "ON SIGHT", that is, widget is on current desktop and display is not locked or on stand by) or false (QBW Instance is not on current desktop and visible or display is off or on stand by)
  * Changed: Optimized usability of settings for Widget Width and Height
  * Changed: Optimized progress animation logic for visibility when instance not On Sight
  * Bugfixing: - 

queen-beecon (0.1.9.8)

  * New: Implemented per-instance progress animation with customizable number of frames, timer, position and possibility to have it shown or hidden (Now every instance can have its own progress animation) + Settings for Hide/Show, frames #, timer, position and basename. 
  * Changed: Extended error message text to all DBUS methods
  * Changed: Now when command or script do not return any output no more "No Output" text gets printed inside the widget
  * Bugfixing: Added error message if non existing parameter is supplied to all DBUS methods "set_param_*"

queen-beecon (0.1.9.6)

  * New: REVOLUTION!!! :) Implementation of multiple (9 = grid 3x3) Hot Spots to click on the widget. Clicked Hot Spot Index Position can then be passed to the executed script via Parameter Variables Substitution $QBW_HOTSPOT_PRESS (0=Not Pressed or other update policy,1=Top Left,2=Top Center,3=Top Right,4=Center Left,5=Center,6=Center Right,7=Bottom Left,8=Bottom Center,9=Bottom Right)
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which hold Proxy related information: $QBW_HTTP_PROXY, $QBW_HTTPS_PROXY, $QBW_FTP_PROXY, $QBW_SOCKS_PROXY, $QBW_RTSP_PROXY (In the format <host:port>)
  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which hold Proxy related information: $QBW_IGNORE_HOSTS_PROXY (In the format <host1;host2;host...>)

  * New: Parameter Variables substitution for using with scripts which hold status or persistency information stored in configuration via DBUS method call set_param_string string:"rememberMe" string:<rememberthis> : $QBW_REMEMBER_ME. Useful, for example, for remembering values like counters across subsequent command executions. 
  * Changed: Logic to purge configuration settings of non-existent QBW instances from configuration file. (Check/Purge performed at every entrance in Settings dialog)    
  * Bugfixing: Reentrancy problem with Settings dialog box. At times, in case of laggy interface, 2 or more instances of dialog were opening. Fixed. 
  * Bugfixing: Incomplete unreferentiation of DBUS resources. Fixed. 
  * Bugfixing: Incomplete unreferentiation of callback functions for async command execution and timers. Fixed. 
  * Bugfixing: Incorrect logic for updating when widget desktop was active/on. It was updating also when active widget's desktop was swept off. Now updates content only if "Update on Desktop" is TRUE and Widget's Desktop is being swept on. Fixed. 

queen-beecon (0.1.9.5)

  * New: Added supplementary progress images/icons (cycle is "queen-beecon-progress[0-3].png") searching logic in directory storage in this order 1) "~/Mydocs/.images/queen_beecon_dir" 2) "~/.queen_beecon_dir"

    * Bugfixing: Some fixing and cleanup in package install/uninstall
See complete Change Log in the WIKI

Usual WARNINGS apply to extras-devel material


Please expect some regressions (=bugs) due to optimizations.
A small bug has already surfaced but I believe it'll affect 0.01% of users. If you disable a QBW instance and then you issue 1 click on it, nothing happens (right behaviour), if you then issue a dbl-click on it QBW won't enable back again. This has already been fixed in current internal testing v1.0.5

Feel free to experiment with all extended features and please report bugs and experiences or feature requests here.
Please, report any problem or crash during installation/upgrade if they still persist
Have fun!!!
