'''Whatever you do, you are doing it at your own risk!'''

== Change Log ==

===''' Version 0.1.11 '''===

* Added ShowImage (to show/hide the forecast image), ConditionsText, ConditionsPos, ConditionsFont, ConditionsColor (for the current conditions text) settings to weather widget
* Added setting to turn on/off antialiasing (was on by default in previous versions)
* Added PercentageType setting to BatteryWidget (can be "default", "bq27200" or "dr_frost_dk")

===''' Version 0.1.0 '''===

== Planned Features ==

* <s>Swipe to unlock widget / feature</s> (Implemented in v0.1.5)
* <s>IM notification widget</s> (Implemented in v0.1.5)

== Customization ==

Every item on the screen is configurable (position, size, font, image...).
You can also remove or add items.

!!!Note:
Items are called widget in this context.
But these aren't Maemo desktop widgets.
You can't add a desktop widget to this lockscreen.
"Widgets" are coded specifically for the lockscreen, you can use only the widgets provided by the app (rectangle, metadata, datetime....)
Widgets are drawn in the order they are created, the last is the topmost.

In order to customize QtLocscreen you need to edit the default configuration
(it is automatically created in /home/user/.config/sakya/QtLockscreen.ini the first time the app is launched) '''as root''':

'''Some guidelines for better theme quality and easier management:'''

'/opt/qtlockscreen/default/' is the default theme folder and should not be used to store your custom images or other files, so you should not overwrite or add / delete anything here. It is advised to create a directory that is named as your theme in directory '/opt/qtlockscreen/' and put everything there.

The configuration file has a section for the theme name:
<pre>ThemeName="Default"</pre>
Adapt this to reflect the theme namechange internally; so use the value from '<yourthemename>' here.

Place your customized QtLockscreen.ini in /opt/qtlockscreen/<yourthemename> too, and simply symlink it to '/home/user/.config/sakya/QtLockscreen.ini' by issuing this command:

<pre>ln -s /opt/qtlockscreen/<yourthemename>QtLockscreen.ini /home/user/.config/sakya/QtLockscreen.ini</pre>

Doing so, you would not have to overwrite settings every time; this enables simple theme switching for now.

As for the backgrounds like all other customized images, it is suggested to include them in /opt/qtlockscreen/<yourthemename> as 'backgroundL.(jpg|png)' for landscape orientation and 'backgroundP.(jpg|png)' for portrait orientation.

As the major result of taking such precautions your QtLockscreen theme is basically self-contained, and can be more easily distributed to other users. Another positive point is it will not place used theme backgrounds / icons that are not true desktop backgrounds in '/home/user/MyDocs/.images' or other file system directories too, keeping everything tidy.

NOTE: the default configuration file that contains all widgets and is updated if you install a new release from the repository can be found here:
<pre>/home/user/.config/sakya/QtLockscreen.ini.default</pre>

If you changed the configuration file and want to have the changes loaded, you need to kill the running lockscreen process (or reboot).

To kill the lockscreen, type
<pre>pkill -HUP qtlockscreen</pre>

in Xterm and hit enter.

For '''previewing theme changes''' a "Designer mode" is implemented; it displays all the widgets: notifications, wifi, ...

<pre>/usr/bin/qtlockscreen -d</pre>

To test a specific configuration file use:

<pre>/usr/bin/qtlockscreen -d -c "path to config file"</pre>

To take a screenshot use:

<pre>/usr/bin/qtlockscreen -c "path to config file" -s "path to image to be saved"</pre>

The application exits when you unlock it using 'slidetounlock' widget or unlock button.

=== Customizing time format ===

Change
<pre>TimeFormat="hh:mm"</pre>

to, if you want AM/PM
<pre>TimeFormat="hh:mm AP"</pre>

or, if you want am/pm
<pre>TimeFormat="hh:mm ap"</pre>

=== Customizing icons ===

Icon can be any size.
The icon will be center/top aligned in the size you give to the widget, the text will be horizontally centered just under the icon.
Just be sure that the Size you set is enough to display the icon and the text. 
To change the notifications icon you should change the
<pre>Icon=":/images/message.png"</pre>

The ":/" refers to the project resources, you have to use a "normal" path "/home/user/..."

=== Positioning items ===

You need to define the numbers of pixels, but you can also do "center; center" (for example) to get the object perfectly centered

=== Reset to the default configuration ===

Open a terminal and

<pre>sudo gainroot
rm .config/sakya/QtLockscreen.ini
pkill -HUP qtlockscreen</pre>

== Available Customizations ==

Please share your customized lockscreens here!!!

 '''Some guidelines for better theme quality and easier management:'''
-A theme should be composed by:
-- The configuration file (name it themeName.ini) in /opt/qtlockscreen
-- A directory containing the images (name it /opt/qtlockscreen/themeName)
-- Fonts (if needed) to be installed in /usr/share/fonts
 '/opt/qtlockscreen/default/' is the default theme folder and should not be used to store your custom images or other files, so you should not overwrite or add / delete anything here. It is advised to create a directory that is named as your theme in directory '/opt/qtlockscreen/' and put everything there.
-Please set also 'ThemeName' and 'ThemeAuthor' in your themes - the configuration file has a section for both:
+The configuration file has a section for the theme name:
 <pre>ThemeName="Default"</pre>
 Adapt this to reflect the theme namechange internally; so use the value from '<yourthemename>' here.
-The field for theme's author name:
+Place your customized QtLockscreen.ini in /opt/qtlockscreen/<yourthemename> too, and simply symlink it to '/home/user/.config/sakya/QtLockscreen.ini' by issuing this command:
-<pre>ThemeAuthor="sakya"</pre>
-Fill both fields to support proper theme switching using the GUI application and follow the general scheme for your themes, so when the GUI utility will be released the themes will be in the correct place.
+<pre>ln -s /opt/qtlockscreen/<yourthemename>QtLockscreen.ini /home/user/.config/sakya/QtLockscreen.ini</pre>
-It will be supported to generate Debian packages to install themes in /opt/qtlockscreen and then set it as the active one with the configuration utility.
+Doing so, you would not have to overwrite settings every time; this enables simple theme switching for now.
 As for the backgrounds like all other customized images, it is suggested to include them in /opt/qtlockscreen/<yourthemename> as 'backgroundL.(jpg|png)' for landscape orientation and 'backgroundP.(jpg|png)' for portrait orientation.
