[Announce/WIP] WidgetCanvas - Widgets for Harmattan
WidgetCanvas is an application to bring desktop widgets to Harmattan. It does not add or edit any system homescreen, so it must be kept running and will be shown in multitasking view.
It has 5 desktops which can be customized at will with any of the available widget. To change desktop, simply swipe it away left or right: since it uses a ListView, it's not possible to move from desktop 1 to desktop 5 and viceversa, but there is a scroll bar in the toolbar to instantly to the desidered desktop. Wallpaper is a 1200*818 picture. There is a parallax effect to move it according to current desktop. It is possible to show the application whenever the screen is unlocked. In case of a call and triggered proximity sensor, there is a failsafe control not to overlap call screen. Widgets know if the application is the foreground one and if the current desktop is the one they're in, so they behave accordly without wasting cpu. Current Available Widgets:

now only if more widgets are made... it'll be a good screen to have open in the multi-task view.

Thanks!
It's atleast one step forward of having widgets on our harmattan devices... I have a great Idea of having this working "properly" Once you start the Widget app (Call it: Desktop), be sure to disable the Swipe. but if you swipe (doesn't matter from where you start, just like the N900) you can change the desktop view (I always used 2 desktops but I'm sure there are many people that uses more desktops.) You can assign a button to put the app in the background, (Like the N900 has on the top left) to bring up the original Menu. Once you're done, you can switch back to the "Desktop" app. This idea should work fine. To make it even better: Is it possible forcing to run the Desktop app once you unlock the device from it's lockscreen? If this can be achieved, then I think we already have a winner! :) I don't know if this idea is possible, but if it is, it will be even more awesome! |

@ HtheB: I have chosen a long vertical flickable widget desktop because it was different than Maemo5 and Android one (and simpler to manage widgets on a single canvas, since I must be able to recognize each widget from another one, even the ones of the same type).
Showing the application whenever lock is removed is possible, will add that to settings as an option, thanks. |
