+
'''Some guidelines for better theme quality and easier management:'''
-
/opt/qtlockscreen/default/ is the default theme and shouldn't use it to store your custom images, so you should not overwrite files here. It is advised to create a directory that is named as your theme in directory /opt/qtlockscreen/ and put everything there.
+
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
-
Additionally, place your customized QtLockscreen.ini in /opt/qtlockscreen/<yourthemename> too, and simply symlink it to /home/user/.config/sakya/QtLockscreen.ini:
+
'/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.
-
<pre>
+
Please set also 'ThemeName' and 'ThemeAuthor' in your themes - the configuration file has a section for both:
-
ln -s /opt/qtlockscreen/<yourthemename> /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.
+
<pre>ThemeName="Default"</pre>
 +
Adapt this to reflect the theme namechange internally; so use the value from '<yourthemename>' here.
-
-> this file also uses 'ThemeName = <themename>' instead of "Default" internally
+
The field for theme's author name:
 +
<pre>ThemeAuthor="sakya"</pre>
-
As for the backgrounds like all other customized images, it is suggested to also include them in /opt/qtlockscreen/<yourthemename> as 'backgroundL.(jpg|png)' for landscape orientation and 'backgroundP.(jpg|png)' for portrait orientation.
+
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.
-
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.
+
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.
-
<pre>[Main]
+
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.

#This is the configuration file for QtLockscreen.
+
-
#Here you can customize the look of the lockscreen.
+
-
#
+
-
#Some notes on settings:
+
-
#  -Fonts: to set a font use a string composed with:
+
-
#  "fontName;fontSize;fontWeight;italic"
+
-
#  If fontName is empty it will be used the default system font.
+
-
#  For italic use 1 to enable it.
+
-
#  For fontWeight use one of the following value: light, normal, demibold, bold, black
+
-
#  Example:
+
-
#    Font=";14;normal;0"
+
-
#
+
-
#  -Colors: to specify a color use R;G;B;A notation.
+
-
#  Example:
+
-
#    Color="255;255;255;255" 
+
-
#
+
-
#  -Position: you can set different position for portrait and landscape.
+
-
#  PosL is the position in landscape
+
-
#  PosP is the position in portrait
+
-
#  For position you can use the special value: left, center, right, top, bottom
+
-
#
+
-
#  -Size: : you can set different size for portrait and landscape.
+
-
#  SizeL is the size in landscape
+
-
#  SizeP is the size in portrait
+
-
#Orientation: auto, landscape, portrait
+
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.

[edit] General Information

QtLockscreen is a highly configurable replacement of Maemo5 default lockscreen created by "sakya". (Credits for the backend go to "MohammadAG")

Further information and discussions can be found here:

For further support and information you might want to check these threads.

Check the following links to get an impression of how OtLockscreen looks:


Currently this app is available from extras-devel (See Package Info Page).

[edit] Disclaimer

!!! CAUTION !!!

Default extras-devel disclaimer: This project is still in development stage, which means there might still be some risks, downsides and issues to be solved before it is ready for the average user... Please read this summary carefully and evaluate the risks involved for yourself! (Keep in mind that this can cause problems for the phone. Backup your data, backup your config (apps > system > backup) and know how to reflash)

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

[edit] Change Log

[edit] 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")
  • Fixed dateTime day and month display when Locale setting is set
  • Fixed alignment settings, now you can set horizontal alignment and vertical alignment:

Example (horizontally centered and top aligned): Alignment="center;top"

Please note: "TextAlignment" for notification works as before (it should be named TextPosition but all themes out now uses TextAlignment, so...). DateTime and text widget uses the "new" alignment horizontal+vertical.

[edit] Version 0.1.10

  • Added command line argument to take a screenshot:
  /usr/bin/qtlockscreen -s /home/user/screenshot.png
  • Added command line argument to set the config file to use
  /usr/bin/qtlockscreen -c /opt/qtlockscreen/theme.ini
  • Added SliderImagePressed setting to SlideToUnlock widget
  • Fixed some bugs :p

[edit] Version 0.1.9

  • Fixed Weather widget script
  • Fixed languages: sv_SV (I forgot the file in v.0.1.8)

  • Added wifi widget
  • Added Weather widget
  • Fixed albumart corrupted if the widget has different size in portrait and landscape
  • Added languages: sv_SV
  • Fixed: reverted to old orientation manager (it should fix the problems appeared from version 0.1.5)

[edit] Version 0.1.7

  • Fixed background problem when Orientation is set to "portrait" (really) :)

[edit] Version 0.1.6

  • Fixed background problem when Orientation is set to "portrait"
  • Added to SlideToUnlock settings UnlockXL, UnlockXP, UnlockYL, UnlockYP

[edit] Version 0.1.5

  • Added SlideToUnlock widget
  • Added languages: cn_CN, tw_TW
  • Added setting to set the text for notification widget
  • Added setting to set the text position for notification widget
  • Added IM notification

[edit] Version 0.1.4

  • Added german translation (NightShift79)
  • The default config file is always copied to /home/user/.config/sakya/QtLockscreen.ini.default

[edit] Version 0.1.2

  • Fixed _HILDON_WM_ACTION_NO_TRANSITIONS

[edit] Version 0.1.1

  • Changed default background to /etc/hildon/theme/backgrounds/lockslider.png
  • Changed font settings, format = "fontName;fontSize;fontWeight;italic"

[edit] Version 0.1.0

  • Initial Release

[edit] Known Issues

  • When the power button is clicked the app does not update the screen for 2 seconds. This seems a Qt problem: every qt application "locks" when the power button is pressed, I don't know why.
  • The rotation is slow.
  • Album art is not loaded correctly in some situations
  • Rotation of P to L does not work sometimes

[edit] Requested Features

  • GUI for configuration (sakya is currently not planning to create a GUI, maybe someone is willing to help out here ;-) )
  • Clicking on the notifications directly opens the related app. i.e. sms' opens the conversation app, missed calls opens the phone app
  • Configuring the length of time the lockscreen stays before fading out

[edit] Planned Features

  • Swipe to unlock widget / feature (Implemented in v0.1.5)
  • IM notification widget (Implemented in v0.1.5)
  • Operator widget (Implemented in v0.1.12)
  • Wifi/3g widget (Implemented in v0.1.8)
  • Weather widget (Implemented in v0.1.8)
  • Signal widget (Implemented in v0.1.12)
  • Change profile (general / silent) widget

[edit] Widget list

There are some common settings (common to all widgets):

PosL                              position in landscape
PosP                              position in portrait
SizeL                             size in landscape
SizeP                             size in portrait

RotationP                         roatation angle in portrait

Here's a list of available widgets with their possible settings.

[edit] 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:

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:

ThemeName="Default"

Adapt this to reflect the theme namechange internally; so use the value from '<yourthemename>' here.

The field for theme's author name:

ThemeAuthor="sakya"

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.

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.

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:

/home/user/.config/sakya/QtLockscreen.ini.default

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

pkill -HUP qtlockscreen

in Xterm and hit enter.


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

/usr/bin/qtlockscreen -d

To test a specific configuration file use:

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

To take a screenshot use:

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

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

[edit] Customizing time format

Change

TimeFormat="hh:mm"

to, if you want AM/PM

TimeFormat="hh:mm AP"

or, if you want am/pm

TimeFormat="hh:mm ap"


[edit] 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

Icon=":/images/message.png"

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

[edit] 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

[edit] Reset to the default configuration

Open a terminal and

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