Re: Customize N900 Conversations

b666m , for screenshots please check http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=323 , the last screenshot .

If i send a 2 sentence text , would the bubble/avatars look ok and aligned ?

From the screenshot I have seen previously by you , It seems the avatar gets large and pixelated (is that even a word lol)

Is it possible to modify the conversation and change it to new layout and add "you" avatar just by using xterminal and leafpad ?

I definitely think you should start making apps ;) , All your new layouts and previous layout of conversation look awesome and it seems other ppl are enjoying it too . Make the app please loooool

ah ok, i see.

this one is exact the same - only with rounded corners:

so you can see that there would be no gaps between the avatars and bubbles.
the avatar stays on top line of the bubble and doesn't resize.
so only the bubble is growing all the way down.

no no.
this was only a test because i wanted to figure out what was causing the gap between the avatar and the bubble.
and by changing the values and seeing the results i figured it out how this problem appeared.
(but this was too much work because the easiest solution was to move the bubbles with a negative margin xD)

of course you can edit all files with leafpad.
but there's no need to.
adding your own avatar is done by downloading the attached html- and js-file and copy them over to the html-folder via xterminal.
(ok.... you also have to copy an image to the html-folder the same way... but that's all described in the instructions i linked above)

Re: Customize N900 Conversations

Thanks for the response b666m , It seems similar but it is not the exact same one ;)
This one looks cool too http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=317
but I wanted to bubbles to look rounder and more pointy like the one you did , is it possible to upload that one ?

I like this one too. I guess it would be much easier to use pc to copy the files and also my avatar on n900 than using xterminal .
Can you direct me to the link that everything is described about how to add the image to the html-folder and also change the name from "you " to whatever i want ? , it seems I'm blind lol

Cheers

there are many comments on the code...
what it's doing and how you can use/edit it exactly. ;)
so you could build your own style.
(it's only rounding corners and moving the bubble)

if you're using windows you may have a look at threads which describe how to get a ssh root connection.
(search for "WinSCP" or just "SSH" or something similar)

ehm... i'm sure i've described it somewhere around here... ^^

oh... just look into it...
you can't break anything...
and it's not really programming...
it's something more like adding lines for changing styles...
REALLY simple to understand.
so.... just take a look and see how easy the css-file is :D

Tried this, not work :(...

Re: Customize N900 Conversations

mhm... try changing inline-block to block only in MessageRight:

Code:

div.MessageRight {

...

  display: block;

...

}

if this doesn't work add a "clear: both;" to this block... if this doesn't work too... i have got no idea left at the moment...

Re: Customize N900 Conversations

I found a very simple solution for this. With a little help from someone (ShayL) from our forum. I just need to add a simple tag between the 2 lines :D:D:D:

Code:

    <span id="MessageTextSelf" class="MessageText Self"></span>

    <br />

    <div class="MessageRight Self">
