Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 

Hey,

I have done a fair bit of work on the wiki. Please have a look here and let me know what you think so far, tell me if there's anything you don't like or if there's something specific you want me to add :)

I WANT feedback :P

Here is a list of what I haven't done yet, but will definitely finish it all off by the weekend at the very latest :P

1. How to create IM files for themes that don't include them
2. Finish the "how to install a theme" section
3. How to edit your themes in order to support portrait viewing
4. Rename themes and if possible, provide a screenshot for each theme

Number 4 is going to be the time consuming one so most likely, that won't be finished till the weekend.

Please lemme know whether you like the progress so far and anything you want me to change :)

Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 

it's looking really good, something to add, instead of opening and close a conversation several times to see new mod, each time you replace the html folder just type in terminal

that resets completely the conversation app

Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 

Ill add that to it now :)

Thanks

EDIT: I have added that to the wiki :)

Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 

You sir, are the MAN!!!
It's looking good now. I have a few suggestions:
a. The themes sections, can it be made into a table with column like
Name || Author || Descriptions || Portrait Mode (yes/no) || Link ||
What do you think?
b. I think instead of making this wiki page a long one, the info about modding themes can be made into a different page that will be linked to from the main one? The main one can have just introduction, info about installing themes, backing up/restoring and links to themes.

Hi Harick, I'm using your "Customizable" theme and this morning I found a little problem. When I receive a message that contains a link or an e-mail address the text is unreadable. I'm posting here a screenshot. I think it is necessary to change the text color. Where can I do this? In the CSS or JS file?

Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 

Well the wiki formatting isn't the nicest thing to play around with but I am slowly learning how to use it :)

I want the themes to each show a screenshot and sum brief information, so I will mess around with it a little bit and see what I can come up with. The table idea is what I was thinking of as well :P

When im done ill post a lil message asking ya to check it out :)


As for the length of the wiki page. It doesnt really matter due to the ability to create sections with sub-sections :)

The contents at the top allows you to select and view different sections/sub-sections and you can also provide links to indivdual sections and sub-sections :)

For example :

wiki.maemo.org/Conversations ------ this can be a main page

wiki.maemo.org/Conversations#Installation ------- this will link directly to the Installation section of the Conversations wiki.

ps. Those are not real links! Just a demo of what I mean :P

Good luck buddy. Tell me when you're ready.

Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 

I don't use that theme but I have made my own theme for Conversations. Been tested it and practically usual without issues.

You can change the colour in html and CSS. Make a class value and then assigning it to the history of MessageOther area. Add the class name to the list and remove the defaultfontcolor.

Very easy.Or use my theme :) it's at the bottom of the wiki themes list. MoonLight
