Wanted to be able to display something of my own choice on the desktop, instead of seeing my operator's name so I wrote a replacement for the applet responsible.

Custom Operator Name Applet, simply put, allows you to display a label of your own choice in lieu of your network operator's name. You can also choose the text and shadow colours of the label. You can have different labels and colours that are dependent upon the state of the N900 phone connectivity (Connected, connecting, not connected). Version 0.1 is in Extras-devel.

Due to hildon-desktop limitations, the N900 must be restarted before the applet is loaded. After that, the applet can be configured from the Control Panel.

Uninstalling the applet - and restarting - will cause the original one to be restored.

Planned:
* Allow you to show the operator's name.
* Allow you to have a (small) image in place of the logo.
* Allow you to see what song is playing in any MAFW-utilising Media Player.
* Show the name of the current profile.
* Show the current volume.

That's awesome! Symbian required some hacking and manually replacing the files but this just proves the flexibility of Meamo 5 for everyone.

Hahaha.. P1MP is so lame... love the idea of showing the currently playing song though. Great stuff.

This is awesome!

* Allow you to have a (small) image in place of the logo. What's the pixel size of the picture? Thanks!

I certainly won't place a limit on the size, but you may wish to resize when you see your chosen image covers the entire desktop...

Is this a passive applet? i.e. does it receives events if tapped?

If so you can show different information one at a time and when tapping you rotate trough them

Uhm.. I installed it, rebooted and works fine.. but.. what if I want to momentarily show the operator name?

There seem to be no way to do that?

No, as said in the first post: It is planned. The official library which can do this is closed source without any headers available, so I have to utilize any workarounds I can find. It just so happens that the workaround I found is rather long and, as such, will take a while for me to do.

Regarding the passive applet question: No, it is not one, and I have no plans on making it so.

Says "custom operator name applet" in App Manager Restore dialog.
Should be "widget" instead.
