CSSU may be able to support more profiles than General/Silent

Joerg Reisenweber and Mohammad Abu-Garbeyyeh were discussing how tweakr updates the current profile to adjust ring tone, which is obviously suboptimal. Mohammad looked into profiled, and apparently, the N900 can support more profiles, it pretty much had support for it from the start! Unfortunately, the UI team decided general and silent were enough, so you can't add profiles easily. I'll look more into this (it seems to be fully working, different ringtones for different profiles etc), but it needs a UI rewrite of both the status bar applet, AND the control panel applet. If you'd like to develop an open source replacement to the status bar and control panel applets for selecting and managing profiles, inspired by the Maemo 5 originals, get in touch with Mohammad.

Putting album art and current track on lock screen

Another lock screen modification for everybody this week. This time Talk user "Obsidian" has hacked together a script to display the current track (and its album art) on the lock screen: Taking inspiration from Alfred's thread and converting generationally's script to bash, I fumbled together a script that takes the metadata and makes a new lockslider.png. It relies heavily on GreatGonzo's mafw-trackinfo and Graham Cobb's dbus-scripts. The part that checks if the media player is running is by qwerty12, the symlink to the current theme directory comes fromMohammadAG. The installation process is rather involved (and involves use of xterm), so the faint of heart should probably steer clear.
