Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and access to the Dedicated Media Bar touch key with Python?

[py60noob]

Hello forum,

this is my first post here and also a naive Py60 noob question:

Is it possible to access the "Dedicated Media Bar touch key"
(the key has a backlight and is located at the front, in the upper right corner
of the phone, below the second camera) on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone with Py60?

The idea is to let this key blink if a new message is available (SMS, MMS, mail,
missed call), so i don't have to switch the screen on to see if there is
a new message (the Nokia e71 phone has a similar feature built in).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!


Best regards,
py60noob

IIRC its not that button that blinks but the task switcher key between the red and green buttons.

You might need to go to the Settings app, Phone, Notification light and enable it

Hi Paul,

okay, problem soved without programming (thanks!) ;-)

However, is it possible to use the so called
"Dedicated Media Bar touch key" from Py60
(perhaps i find another usage for this key)?
