I like this app. But I don't like the cheap look. Hope the author got some free time to change the design. I can provide graphics if needed.

Anyway. it's got in what it does.

I don't like the fake3d-look of the button, it looks screwed and misplaced with the asymetric gap.

I also don't like, that you have to go in desktop settings to change the frequency (was better in a previous version).

It's a really usefull app, which i use very often!

I wasn't sure how to modify my existing review but I'm adding one with 5 stars since the bug was fixed that didn't keep it sync'd with other apps on/off state - thanks. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw The new graphics, they look great and it takes up less space on desk top. Nice job!

Robert: Yes it's removed, we are looking for some solution to get it back for fast frequency change. In 0.5.0 frequency can be changed from widget's settings or from control panel.

I love this, but I'm unable to get 0.5.0 to pull up the freq change dialog. I'm trying using the stylus and tapping on the frequency under the button, But it's not working for me. Was that removed in 0.5.0 ??

btw, calling fm-boost is a great add.

Much faster than going through menus.

Must have for the car stereo.

John, that's fixed in version 0.4.0 which is in extras-devel.

This works well but gets out of sync with the other menu's FM transmitter state. If you set the FM transmitter in another menu, this widget shows "ON" and should say "OFF". Maybe there is no way to keep these in sync though??

I find this harder to use than the menu option in the media player application. With other applications this may make sense, but I just never used it, and ended up removing it.
