Pandora Desktop Environment Prototype Try 2 (screenshots And Videos)

[MDave]

Any updates that people would like to send me? I'm about to assemble the default Pandora matchbox theme in the right system locations as a bitbake package.

Just doing some finishing touches to the icons, then I can send my theme over

Why is resolution in .xsession set to 740x450? Isn't the Pandora's resolution 800x480? Also, xrandr fails to work on my installation of VMware; what did you do to make it work? Alternatively, what are the steps to make it work with Xephyr? Xephyr looks like this to me:




Whereas VMware's X server looks fine, except it's 800x600.

Also: are the icons going to be the size shown in wesbrown18's mock-ups, or MDave's? I think for such a small screen, the icons should be 96x96, not 48x48.

That's the resolution that works on wesbrown's monitor, closest to Pandora's for testing

The icon sizes will be user configurable. I made them 96 x 96 because its better to scale down images then to scale up, to maintain quality

have some kind of panel on the side(s) that autohides, reappearing when we put the cursor at that edge. we should be able to
-launch apps via a menu of some sort
-switch between running apps
-common configs like sound volume, wifi & bt connections
-view battery status

basically everything you can do on the top gnome panel in Ubuntu, Debian etc ^^

iain.dalton I didn't think VMWare supported ARM but your post (and possibly this: http://maemovmware.garage.maemo.org/ ) seem to indicate otherwise. Any chance of releasing your VMWare image for others to make use of? Would prove useful I'm sure.

@wesbrown18 and @MDave
Any progress with Pandora Matchbox and the new icons for it?

Hey !

Is there any improvment about the pandora GUI ? Any news ?
Is matchbox still the final one ?

What about the few other GUI projects ?

 

[MDave]

You will see pics or even a video sometime soon. How soon depends on a few factors behind the scenes
