ClockSS - Clock ScreenSaver for UIQ3

… or something like it…

Well, a lot of people miss the clock screen saver in their shiny new UIQ3 phone… so here is a sort of replacement.

It’s not a real screensaver, but looks like a screensaver, behaves like a screensaver, so it’s a pretty good estimate ;-)

Ok, and now the serious text ;-)

The program should start automatically, when the phone starts. And it also should go to the background. To controll it, just locate it in the task manager, and when you switch to it, you should see:

You can choose the timeout value from 10seconds, 1 minute (the default), 2 mintues or 10 minutes. You can also de/activate it temporary.

After the given amount of inactivity, it switches to screen saver mode:

You can switch back to normal mode (ie. “unlock the keypad”) with ‘*’ and then ‘#’ (note: you should probably need to press ALT as well, to get in numeric mode)

You can switch to a different app with the BACK key (only when you press it longer) or the internet (or hardware) key. Unfortunately I cannot change this behaviour -( But fortunately, these keys are not easy to press by mistake.

You should turn off automatic keyguard in controll panel (otherwise you will reseave the standard unlock message).

Well, that’s it for now, awaiting opinions ;-)

Oh, and next version probably will have binary mode as well (ie. shows the clock in binary instead of decimal… just for the geeks ;-) )

Almost forgot the downoad links:
