PR 1.2 changelog does suggest skinnable themes for conversations. Right now, background image makes it slow and unsmooth. try it with overclocked to atleast 800+ Mhz

Well i havent had any major problems so far there is the occasional pause when loading. I havent optimised the images used so far so will start playing with the css background-image repeat and shrinking the image size down to see what the effect is on loading times.

Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 
Now i am confused. Where are you getting the "Me" from? Put a screenshot up. His files are the same as b666m initial files. You should have "You"

Just a quick thanks to all involved in the thread.
I made a few minor changes to my SMS conversations and thought I'd show what I'd done:

I know it's not major, but i like the look of it for now.

Just wanted to say, although file permissions are a bit blotchy from ext3->vfat, you can symlink avatar.png out of /usr/share/rtcom-messaging-iu/html and into MyDocs/.images. This makes is easy to make changes for regular users to modify their avatars.

Like to say a big thanks to you all here for you ideas, I've now altered my SMS conversation screen and all my fonts and will be looking to alter my IM conversation screen today

Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 
I have done a lot of editing to the CSS, HTML, JS files (through users on this thread) and it looks fantastic so thanks so much...

Only thing... scrolling in messaging is SOOOOO slow.. any reason?

kevinm2k 2010-05-20 10:36
Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 
Hmm, I changed the 'avatar.png' to 'avatar.jpg' in the javascript file, (jpg file was about 60kb less) and it has speeded up a lot more, but still very very slow and laggy, any ways to improve this?

Its by design:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5455

Enjoy :|

.edit
And the thing what mostly worries me is that that bug has 9 votes. It should have at least 30 or is it that user have never used any other mobile UI than what Nokia has offered.

I have a small request if someone has too much free time:

Make the conversations look like

Quote:
03:00PM <John Doe> foobar
Yes, the brackets should go there too

And these would simply appear below each other emulating a console IRC client.

On a back background and a white or green font. Also with font-family: monospace if possible.

I would do this myself, but the CSS and HTML files look like mess.

we figured out reasons some time back what made scrolling unsmooth and slow. Its nothing but a few elements used in css which makes it slow. If you had searched through this thread u would realize its been debated, used and rectified. .

If you use any of my themes from this thread, they are not slow by any means.

I think that i have requested something like that in this thread. I failed to spot anything but if there is this kind of theme then thatīs wonderful. One reason that scrolling in that view is so slow is all fancy CSS-styling. Just plain simple and effective color coded way of displaying sms/im messages is IMHO The right way of doing it :D

Actually I know this. Look my post. Itīs not communityīs job* to fix stuff what Nokia has managed to fck up. You have made workaround that you can suggest politely and say that current way what Nokia has done is broken, but community has managed to made temporary/workaround for this.

.edit
*Bit wrong way of saying that it is but itīs not :) Makes sense doesn't it? Yes community can fix things but after all itīs the mother who should show the way and set the bar high on quality of things.

no its the other way round. Nokias default is very quick to scroll. It pauses if you scroll up in a long conversation. That is because it fetches history and displays. So basically when u move into a conversation, it only keeps a certain amount of messages in buffer.

community just realized certain css elements were no go because of low processing power. Actually at 800Mhz even some of those elements were kindda working but still visibly slow.

Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 
@niqbal,
So we probably have case YMMV because on my N900 scrolling is laggy no question about it. And btw. as end user i do not care how it really is implemented or how hard is it to make smooth only thing that i have noticed and what iīm interested is that on my screen itīs slow and seems that iīm not the only one :|

Wonderful thing thought is that it looks like we have workaround for this.

actually what i am trying to say is, if you are referring to hiccups/pauses that occur while you scroll in a long conversation, there is no community work around Mostly the code is hidden is one reason. Second reason is its in hard core javascript and using mozillas javascript engine is not going to help eleviate the unsmoothness.

if its visibly slow like you scroll and it doesnt wanna move. Then css file has elements that are causing it. Thats a community-driven problem. Bad coding by some joe. Here workaround is possible of course.

hope it helps u understand what i was trying to say.

Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 
Do you know what page the resolution is on? I have read some of them, and I have done a search but going through 59 pages is going to really take some time.

I did get the theme directly from here, but to be fair its never really been fast anyway, I find all the scrolling throughout the entire phone laggy, and yes it is nokias job to fix... doubt they will thou unfortunately.

kevinm2k 2010-05-20 12:37
Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 
Ok ive been through and I found the "fix". I used the one on page 37 of this page, and then had a play with it.

Ive literally just took the opacity and shadow away and it is a lot better... guess it will do!

Thanks guys.

Would you like to your findings in that bugzilla report so all could profit?
I find it also annoying sometimes.

Thanks.

who can tell me how to change the background?
I mean change the picture, not the color?
thx.

HeartJ 2010-05-22 10:18
Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 
Ok, i got the way to change the background with a picture from termi_uc's post.

Thx.

just add the code into the bottom of div.BubbleSelf and div.BubbleOther.

code:
Code:
background: url(1.gif) fixed 100% 100% no-repeat
And you should add "1.gif" to /usr/share/rtcom-messaging-ui/html/ .

I didn't familiar with html, css, and js, and just hope my method is right.
:rolleyes:

The "Other" side peer timestamp needs 1 pixel or 2 to the left,
but I didn't have time to play with it, and looked good enough for me (;

Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 
Hello ALL !!
After updating to PR1.2 I have a little problem. I put again my modded files to the right place and now when I open conversation window, I see a little transition effect (more true to say - jumping) of bubbles from left to right... It's opens not smoothly like before (PR1.1) This happens with all contacts, why I don't know.. Here you can see a little video of this (sorry about quality) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YJTD2jjH7U
Any ideas ?

Thanks

Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 
Hi-diddly-ho, neighbourinos!

I just noticed something called "Shaded Chat Theme" in the extras-testing repo.

QA page: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...theme/0.0.1-3/

I didn't notice anything different after installing. Maybe I'm just not attentive enough or maybe I don't know where to activate this theme.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Schturman 2010-05-28 15:42
Re: Customize N900 Conversations
 
It's nice, but not what I want...
After installation you can find this in the setting of the Conversation app. It's working only with IM Conversation....
