Since my workmate Berto released Vagalume, here at Igalia we have adopted the application and giving him suggestions about how to improve it. The N800 makes a nice little Last.fm player, ideal to keep around while you’re working, and therefore the latest version<\/a>, that displays album covers within a nicer interface, is a great improvement.<\/p>\n

Besides creating the icon for the latest release, I have done some other work on the graphical part of Vagalume in my spare time that I would like to share today. First, here we have the (beta) icon shipped with today’s release in a bigger size.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

It looks nice when it’s big, but on the device I think that it doesn’t scale well enough, and the three fireflies look more like comets. That’s why I created recently an alternative one, with only one flying light path:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Representing a firefly (that’s what vagalume<\/em> means) in an icon isn’t an easy thing, for fireflies are small and not quite pretty under daylight, so showing their light paths was the best choice IMHO.<\/p>\n

Now that the functionality is there, we’ll devote some time to the UI, to give Vagalume the mojo<\/em> it deserves. And finally. to end our world domination plan, one of the next things to do should be a desktop applet. Here are my humble suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n

I hope that this post motivated you to try Vagalume and take active part in its growing community. Let the ideas come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
