Thanks, Mikko. I have already Hildon-ized this app.

Anyone and everyone is free to thumbs down this app into oblivion to remove it from the queue. A new version will be out soon.

Buttons are indeed not hildon style. You should probably use HildonButton instead if GtkButton, see http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-final/hildon/HildonButton.html

To make buttons bigger, set the size property to HILDON_SIZE_FINGER_HEIGHT or HILDON_SIZE_THUMB_HEIGHT

Descriptions is also broken. First line should be short description and the following lines are supposed to be long description.

user/office is not the best category for this program. If nothing else fits, use user/utilities

Thanks for the feedback.

  • My project is hosted on the garage, but it is down at the moment. When it is back up I'll link to the bug tracker there.
  • This is a 0.9 release, not a 1.0 release.
  • The buttons are the same size as any other button in apps. If they are too small in my app then go file bugs with Nokia on all their apps about them being too small.
  • The UI is no where being finished. This is a 0.9 release. Not a 1.0 release.

I'll be spending time next week on refreshing the UI and making a 0.9.1 release. I wanted some feedback and thought a C-based app instead of a Python based app (stopwatch) would appeal to more users.

  • I agree with @Tomasz's impression of the GUI. However, lack of features and improper GUI design are outside of the scope of Extras-Testing guidelines.
  • I don't see any blockers here except for a bug-tracker. Please add it if you want my +1 :)

The UI is much worse than the stopwatch application, the buttons are too small, the text is too small, there is a pointless duplication of information with the "Stopish - The Stopwatch" text on the screen and there is no portrait support (stopwatch app does support portrait mode). I will refrain from voting, because while it works, it doesn't hold a candle to stopwatch.
