Hi,<br><br>The code I've been looking at is a fairly simple widget in
Extras called countdown-home. 95% of it is "fluff" and has nothing to
do with this problem so I've attached a working Python Desktop Widget
(very simple, just a couple gtk.Label's). countdown-home is available from here:<br><br><a href="http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/fremantle/free/source/c/countdown-home/">http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/fremantle/free/source/c/countdown-home/</a><br>
<br>(I tried attaching the C file, but the list said it was too big).<br>
<br>If you could try to translate the cairo code from coundown-home into the Python example, that would be awesome!<br><br>Thanks.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 3:43 PM, Anderson Lizardo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:anderson.lizardo@openbossa.org">anderson.lizardo@openbossa.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>If you send the links to the C examples you found, I can try<br>
translating them to Python for you (I'll be able to try only on<br>
scratchbox though, as I'll not have a N900 accessible until next<br>
year).<br>
