Nokia N800 .beats screenshot

.beats desktop applet for Nokia Internet Tablets running maemo Linux with Hildon desktop.

The applet comes with a configuration panel, thus is easy to customize. It takes only seconds, virtually, to choose another font face/size, adjust background/foreground colors and level of transparency to match your desktop theme.

Installation

Install the application from Maemo Application manager, just like any other application.

Applications button >
  Settings >
    Application manager >
      Browse installable applications >
        All >
         select beats-applet >
           Install

You also can install the application via secure shell if one is installed on your Nokia device. Login to your device with ssh, and run the following command as root:

# apt-get install beats-applet

After that enable the applet
