hey, I was thinking that Id love to be able to just press somewhere on my wallpaper and launch applications like conversations, phone, phonebook, file manager, mms, etc.
To do this the only idea Ive got is to get invisible icons for these apps, (probably only doable through qbw?).
Any idea how to get this up and running? I dont have a computer at hand, just the n900, so any and all help would be awesome!
To reiterate: I dont want any visible icons, widgets, etc on my desktop, but just pressing a specific point on screen would launch the application of my choice.
Hilfe, help, hjelp, and so forth =P

Hi... don't spam multiple threads with repeats of the same question. (Power kernel installs an icon on your application menu that's called "Deinstall power kernel" or something like that. If you don't have that, then install rootsh, open x-term, become root, and become and type... you know what, I'm tired, and this isn't even on-topic. Do a search.
slai: Yeah, I think QBW is the best way to do it. Perhaps you can modify the .desktop files of the apps to have no icon, or a purely transparent one? That saves you the trouble of figuring out QBW... However, if you can come to talk.maemo.org from just your N900, it should be easy to browse the wiki and forum for instructions on setting up QB widgets.

I would suggest QBW (Queen Beecon Widget) as the easier and more flexible one one if you can spare some time to figure out the options. It has advantages like configuring the widget size, etc
Running apps/scripts are easy using QBW, but I havent yet figured out a way to open the phone/messaging/email/etc using QBW.

Also have one desktop to use in the car with massive sized beecons.

You would need to put your own png files with the relevant name in your queen beecon picture directory.

And some more application beecons.
If you want transparent shortcuts to launch these apps you just need to put a transparent file in your beecon picture directory and then in command title settings change the name of the png file to the name of that transparent file.

Oh that seems reasonable, thanks for the help Etuoyo!
How can I create transparent icons on my N900 (seeing as how I dont have a computer to create them)?
How can I create transparent icons on my N900 (seeing as how I dont have a computer to create them)?
My main goal is to have as little as possible on my homescreens.
Basic idea is to be able to press certain points on the wallpaper image to launch different applications.
Etuoyo supplied txtfiles to create qbw that launch microB, conversations, contacts, settings and phone.
What I now need help for are the following:
- fMMS
- X-term
- File Manager
- Opera
- Application Manager
- MediaBox
- Media Launcher
- Photos
Also: how can I remove the clock, remove the menu key at the top left of the screen (I want it visible only when Ive recieved a text/IM message or phonecall or mms, invisible at all other times)?
Id love to be able to have only the little blob of info that shows connection strength for 2g/2.5g/3g/3.5g, battery, online/offline status, and connections. If possible, Id love even more to have them hidden as well, but show up on press, like the status menu that drops down when pressing that area normally.
Does this make sense =P ?
Anyways, Id appreciate any and all help wih this project.
