It's only for the look but wasn't practical enough :)

Here is what I've created. Took me a good 15hours of insane testing and late night hacking in bed and at work.

I want to keep it original. So other people wouldn't have the same design, and if all Conversations themes are the same in colour and variety then won't it make all them redundance?

You can change it to your preferences or taste in CSS file :) just swap them around. The problem is if you change the colour of the bubble then you'll have to change the font colour and for LINKs will not able show up in the bubble properly. I mainly focusing on readability than looks. Looks come after usability :)

No point of having flashy UI if it doesn't work properly right?

Re: Customize N900 Conversations

Not sure is this helps anyone, but I was unable to get my own avatar to show up. I had used various mod packs, replaced the file, created new images; all to no avail.

If you use Windows desktop and create the avatar in MS Paint, you need to rename the file to "avatar.png" (all lower case). My XP machine saved it as avatar.PNG, which prevented the image from showing up. :)

I think rather than removing tags, better use display: none, and never change the ids.

yep.
just edit the .js-file.

        name_tag.textContent = item.name_str;

    }

Code:

if (item.name_str != "") {

        name_tag.textContent = item.name_str;

    }



if (item.name_str != "" && item.self) {

        name_tag.textContent = "b666m";

    }

(replace b666m for your desired nick ^^)
haven't tested it but it should work :)

This worked great to remove the "You:" by replacing it with just "", but how do you remove the sender's name from the message bubble?

Perhaps:

if (item.name_str != "") {
name_tag.textContent = item.name_str;
}

if (item.name_str != "" && item.Other) {
name_tag.textContent = "";

Or maybe sender?

Re: Customize N900 Conversations

   name_tag.textContent = name;

}

if you want to remove both names, thats simple. at the end of this message function, add

Code:

name_tag.textContent = "";

Re-uploading Iphone influenced SMS window

basically worked on the side arrows to make them look better and have a better speech bubble feel to it.

only first name of sender is shown
width of bubble is dependent on the message
even gap between messages

i don't own an iphone. if someone can kindly experiment with better green and gray shades. thx

Re: Customize N900 Conversations

I have updated my previous theme with some bug fixes and also some other options!

Check the updates here :)

Please check it out and let me know what you think :)

I have updated the wiki for this theme.

I am aware of the bug where it doesn't scroll to the bottom after sending a message, but I am not sure how to solve this issue. If someone tells me how to I will implement it into my themes :)

2011-03-04 00:03

Re: Customize N900 Conversations

So:

if (item.name_str != "") {
var name = item.name_str;
name = "";
name_tag.textContent = name;
name_tag.textContent = "";
}

...as the entire function to remove both names?

Edit: works nicely, thanks mate. :cool:

your own name is omitted
only first name of sender is shown
width of bubble is dependent on the message
alternate gap is given between messages

i don't own an iphone. if someone can kindly experiment with better green and gray shades. thx

hi, for me this theme shows the last name of the sender, maybe because i have addressbook set to show last name first?

edit. yes it is because of the addressbook setting to show last name first.

what file do i have to edit to get the backround black? i know this is an iphone style conversation mod, but i still prefer a darker backround to fit for the rest of ui.

thanks for the mods :)

Re: Customize N900 Conversations

I have started a thread for the scripts that i have been working on:http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=960308

Right now it can install themes, restore/backup themes, add portrait mode support (not guaranteed for custom themes) and change own name in SMS window.

I am also planning to add features for changing the colours, etc

Alright.. after all my tinkering around i came up with this. All the colors can be changed or deleted to go back to factory.

I have no idea how you could link the fastSMS applications keyboard to this but that would be awesome.

Thanks to jimmyr.com for teaching me html in 39 minutes.. ha ha choice

Hey guys i noticed it still has "Excesv" in these file. Hopefully you guys know how to change this?... If not, edit the .js file. if your are using notepad++ the command you want to change is on line 435. If not it may take some time to find. You are looking for

if (item.name_str != "") {
name_tag.textContent = item.name_str;
}

if (item.name_str != "" && item.self) {
name_tag.textContent = "Excesv";

Just change "Excesv" to Something else. Leave the " " surrounding the text.

Thanks to everyone on this thread.

Improved version just has nicer margins around the avatar.Also bug fig for message other clicked.. :)

if you want more or less space between the messages, just edit this margin-top in MessagingWidgetsSMSConversation.css

Code:

div.Message {        

  clear: both; 

  margin-top: 10px;

}

higher value means more space while lower means less space

EDIT.: sorry, i didn't notice the empty spaces, i will upload a fix when i find what it is

have you found the solution?

Re: Customize N900 Conversations

@Harick

Could you please make a version with the following:
- BLACK background
- blue/gray bubbles (like in your first design), but I'd like the color text in the blue bubble to be BLACK
- make it display both last name and first name in the information above the message

Thanks in advance, this is by far the most nicest Conversations theme design.

Also, if you'd make the IM as well, it'd be great.

Awesome!

Is there any chance you could do one with Lime Green and Light Blue bubbles with a black background?

Would be much appreciated :)
