So, I'm aiming at using MeeGo CE on a day to day basis.. and I personally really hate the interactivity of that stupid launcher / switcher mode button, amongst many other things.

A while ago, I had a thought to re-imagine the desktop in QML, to allow for a lot more flexibility, and thanks to some help from Tom Swindell / alterego and input from a lot of other people, it's starting to take some shape.

Current status is at:

Current repo is at:
https://github.com/chive/lipstick

All the stuff you see on screen is QML (well, with possible exception of the applications themselves), and can be changed easily.

Hopefully, once this matures a bit more, the other CE folks will accept this as the new default UI, replacing the aeons-old ugly handset one.

Definitely very interesting, and got intriguing name (unlike other ones we use to know about Meego ). Keep that good work, I'm observing this with much attention.

Yes! Finally an improved UI for Meego on my N900! Thats one more step closer to using Meego on a daily basis..

EDIT: can this also be used as a replacement for hildon launcher and task switcher?

Not really, at least, not without some pretty huge changes to hildon-desktop. You could pretty easily write a UI that looked rather like Hildon's launcher and switcher, if you wanted.

I guess you missed the end of the video, where I ran it on an n900?

Yes, the intention is for it to be the new desktop for MeeGo CE when it's more "ready". So it'll run on n900s.

the above is the demonstration of the start of some WIP tinkering with a new feature - desktop widgets... something the Maemo community has wanted in MeeGo for a very long time

the blue and red rectangles are simple demo widgets, QML components...
