the only way i know is to install "catorise" and make following:

Code:

$ sudo gainroot
# cd /usr/share/applications/hildon
# cp catorise-rtcom-call-ui.desktop catorise-rtcom-call-ui3.desktop

it's a bug/feature in catorise that this is possible. some users are disturbed by duplicated icons so it's a bug - others like that so it's a feature. :D

I dont think so at this point, but hopefully soon we can get that worked out. All of these people putting time into these mods are doing a great job, and that will likely come with time.

In order to do this, you will need to:

* Download and install rootsh from the Extras repository, which will give you root access in the X-Terminal
* Download and install Midnight Commander, the well known file manager which also contains a convenient text editor.


-open x-terminal app
-type 'sudo gainroot' [enter] then 'mc'
-edit the file "etc/mce/mce.ini"
-down the bottom of file is the area you need to be..
-just read the file and its self explaining...
-its as simple as changing setting to 'b' (to change notification to blue)
-save file, exit mc and reboot.

It seems that I can't even access the etc/mce/mce.ini file to begin with...I have both leafpad and MC installed and can't get to the file to edit it....any help would be appreciated

I change some icons to make a little "theme" of Zelda from the snes :D

-At boot there's link who runs in a wall
-the top-left icon is a bow or bow & arrow
-the loading/update is a little triforce (really nice I think)
-the battery is the magic meter
-and so on.. :)

(oh.. I just realise that Zelda/scalable/indicator_update* cannot be put in /home/user/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon but have to be in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/ sorry!)

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
So far I've:

- changed the hostname
- installed a full GNU toolchain (make, gcc, binutils, etc)
- switched my default shell to bash with a nice prompt
- installed sshd and changed all of the various passwords
- disabled vibrate for IM & emails
- moved /var/cache/apt/archives to /home for .deb downloads

I'm contemplating moving more stuff to the microsd card since it's quite fast compared to the internal mmc. I'm down to ~30mb free on / at the moment.

should be possible.
either as plugin or integrated in pidgin.
you may want to make a feature request to pidgin:

MENU WAVE EFFECT

some of you may already know this, but for those that dont you can have the menu icons sweeping in when launching the menu and the sub menu

goto usr/share/hildon-desktop
and open the Transitions ini file looking for this:

Quote:

[launcher_in]
duration = 250
sequenced = 0
depth = 225
keyframes = 0,0.17,0.39,0.65,0.87,1.13,1.26,1.22,1.17,1.13,1.0 9,1.04,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
keyframes_icon = 0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1,1,1,1,1,1, 1,1,1,1,1
keyframes_label = 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7, 0.8,0.9,1
Quote:

[launcher_in_sub]
duration = 250
sequenced = 0
depth = 200
keyframes = 0,0.17,0.39,0.65,0.87,1.13,1.26,1.22,1.17,1.13,1.0 9,1.04,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
keyframes_icon = 0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1,1,1,1,1,1, 1,1,1,1,1
keyframes_label = 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7, 0.8,0.9,1
just change 'sequenced = 0' to 'sequenced = 1'
and 'duration = 250' to 'duration = 1200'

the duration (speed) can be set how ever you like,
higher number = faster movement (or slower, cant remember!)

(thanks to megaexer for explaining this to me)
(also dont EVER change 'snap_grid_size = 4'
to zero, cos doing that bricked me!)

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
this is my new menu icon effect:)

paste this over your own key frames entry in 'launcher in' and 'launcher in sub'

keyframes = 0,0.17,0.39,0.65,0.87,1.13,2,1.13,0.87,0.65,0.39,0 .17,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1

It is a widget from the application "Desktop Command Execution Widget" from devel I think.

nice i have used some of the mods, thank you.

i did do one of my own lool

rdesktop has a boring icon in menu, i replaced it with this image.

move rdesktop.png to:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon

i have included backup incase some one needs it

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
this adds a ZOOM OUT effect that bleeds into the homescreen

in the transitions.ini file, in usr/share/hildon-desktop
replace this chunk of code:
Quote:

[launcher_out_sub]
duration = 250
depth = 150
with this chunk of code (paste it over the other):

Quote:

[launcher_out_sub]
sequenced = 1
keyframes = 0,0.17,0.39,0.65,0.87,1.13,2,1.13,0.87,0.65,0.39,0 .17,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
depth = 200
keyframes_label = 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7, 0.8,0.9,1
keyframes_icon = 0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1,1,1,1,1,1, 1,1,1,1,1
duration = 800
also do the same for 'launcher out' (this is the one that bleeds into the homescreen)
(paste the same code from above, over this below)

Quote:

[launcher_out]
duration = 250
depth = 150

F2thaK 2010-02-06 06:38

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
the above is good, but too slow, i changed duration from 800 to 400, much better IMO

leetut 2010-02-06 13:16

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
[popup]
duration_in = 250
duration_out = 250

this controls popups, higher number=slower effect

------------------------------------------------------------------

[notification]
duration_in = 250
is_cool = 0
duration_out = 250

and this one controls the new message popups
higher number=slower effect
i changed 'is_cool' up to 1200, but couldnt really see much difference, so not sure what that does

maybe that is an unsigned integer (word / short) value with 0 - 255!?

and 1200 is just out of bounds? ^^

Just put the icons you want to use into

/user/home/.local/share/icons/hicolor/18x18/hildon
/user/home/.local/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/hildon
/user/home/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon
/user/home/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon

After a reboot you will see the new icons!

Hope that helps...
If you need more help feel free to ask ;-)

Havenīt done that myself.
But guess the will need to be root to edit the file.

1) Open xTerm
2) enter: sudo gainroot
3) "cd" to the directory with the file you want to edit
4) open the file with vim
or (would recommend leafpad for editing as its a lot easier!!!)
4) open the file with leafpad, enter: leafpad filetoedit
5) save your changes

@Reflektorfalke Send you a private message

@B666m don't have a clue how to make a backup, have the original png. in the files so if I succeed to make the directories I can restore them too :).

(problem is now that I can't make the 18x18 and 24x24 directory
(have 16x16, 48X48 and scalable dir from last time battery and world mod)

How can you manipulate the menu that launches when you hit the power button? I find being able to toggle between only "silent" and "general" profiles very annoying. I want to mod this so I can add "nightstand - only calls" to the settings. That way an emergency call can still wake me up, but text messages and email won't...

hay guys, iv managed to make the area up on the left hand side around the clock etc transparent, this also makes the area around the edit desktop icon transparent as well,

i can upload files if people need them, but all you need to do it make these 5 files transparent

/usr/share/themes/yourtheme/images/wmButtonLeftHalf
/usr/share/themes/yourtheme/images/wmButtonRightHalf
/usr/share/themes/yourtheme/images/wmLeftButtonAttached
/usr/share/themes/yourtheme/images/wmLeftButtonEnd
/usr/share/themes/yourtheme/images/wmRightButton

change /yourtheme/ for the folder of the theme your currently using
