Fettuccine Documentation

Fettuccine is a "Webcam Aggregator"; that is, it allows you to quickly and easily browse through a collection of your favorite webcam sites.

Fettuccine displays webcams one at a time. Common image formats such as jpeg, png, and gif are supported (including animated gifs). Webcams can be grouped into categories by giving them "tags". Each webcam image is updated at its own unique "refresh rate". And, a link to the home page of each webcam is made available.

Using Fettuccine

There are two sets of controls for Fettuccine; a few of the more common controls will overlay the image at the edges of the screen, and the rest are accessible from the app's menu.

Using Fettuccine as a Widget

On the Nokia N900, you may also use Fettuccine as a widget. To do this, you can go to the N900's desktop manager by either tapping on an empty area of the desktop and then pressing on the "gear" icon that drops down, or simply by making a long press on the screen. The "Desktop menu" option should now be visible at the top of the screen. Press this option, and then select "Add Widget" in the drop-down menu that appears. A list of all the available widgets should appear; find "Fettuccine Widget" on that list and press it. The Fettuccine widget should now show on the screen.

There are a number of options available for the widget, all of which can be reached by pressing the "wrench" icon when the N900's desktop manager is running. When the wrench icon is pressed, a dialog box will pop up providing many of the same options available when running Fettuccine as an app. In addition, it provides the ability to change the size of the widget, as well as the ability to turn on or off several overlay controls.
