Another reminder is that GRead also runs on Diablo (Maemo4, N8x0) after a couple of lines have been removed from the UI files.

When you launch it as :

run-standalone.sh python gread.py
it's even half-way "hildonized" in that it looks less strange and the full-screen button works. It still opens separate windows, but they cover each other, and the tablets have an Escape button so it's quite usable.

The main issues are that the system menu is not converted automatically as in Fremantle, and the default font is too tiny to read, with the zoom keys not working.

These could probably be corrected more or less easily with a custom "maemo4" view, to make a workable GRead for the old tablets...

Speaking of which, I found another way to detect the host type and choose a view accordingly :

N900 : "Maemo 5" in os.environ.values()

N8x0 : "OS 2008" in os.environ.values()

I don't know when it happened but I no longer have a link to browse "All" feeds at once. Just me, or was that removed? TX

Finally got around to trying the Okuda theme & unfortunately I still can't see the content. Seems that the message body stays black against the black background of the theme. In an article for example from Slashdot, the comments are on a while background so they're readable, whereas the main article is not.

And of course I update & the problem goes away. Sorry for the noise

Twidi,

Why use an iPhone user agent? No reason to prop up the iPhone mindshare.

A couple of times over the weekend while using the on screen next button, it was left highlighted on the next item. Unfortunately I can't figure out what causes it. It happened maybe 1-2% of the time.

I have a n800 somewhere at home, could you please give me all details for installing python on it ? Perhaps it's aready packaged ? I could try to install GRead on it and make a Maemo view (it sould be easy, except for specific buttons if needed but i will not spend too much time on it...)

If you have all the extra-* repos enabled, you should see the PyQt full-install package on HAM, that should do it.

The zoom keys should be easy, they're just bound to F6/F7 or something like that.

I guess it's because of his cell carrier, which has a proxy filtering on user-agent. But the N900 MicroB should work just as well...
