Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
lol
The only real change was in this line: >command="sudo /usr/bin/mc"\< ,the sudo.
Where did you get mc from ? Mine is from the repos and up to date .. Until this change, i had to go always to terminal, gain root and then start mc to do what i want.

As no one has stepped up to provide a <realistic> way of getting the reboot menu to work, I will write one up.
(Please comment if I loose you, or if you need help)
I will post what I want to do, and then explain it step by step.

First you need to install rootsh which allows you to edit system files, and leafpad so you can edit them outside of therm command line.

To install both leafpad, and rootsh you will need to enable the maemo extras catalog.
Go to the applications manager, (called app.manager under More) and click the top bar. Click application catalogs, and then click maemo.org.
(please tell me if you dont have it.)
Uncheck "disabled", press save, click in the blurry area to close the bar, and wait for it to refresh.

Browse by alphabetical order and install leafpad, and rootsh.
When you find leafpad, click it, check the agreement box, and then "continue"
(Both apps are very stable. The change of messing up your phone is very small.)

Now its time to edit the actual file.
<Insert disclaimer here>
(If you mess up this file, the menu when you press the power button will only have "phone", but thats about it for damage.)

Open xterminal
Type
Code:
sudo gainroot
You now have full access over the N900
Type
Code:
cd /etc/systemui
"cd" means "change directory" to the directory "/etc/systemui"
(Press Tab to have to computer finish words. Double tap tab to display all options)
Type
Code:
leafpad systemui.sys
This will open the file that we need to edit.

Browse to near the bottom of the file, and find this:
Code:
<!--
and delete it
Then find
Code:
<--
at the bottom of the file and delete it as well.
Save the file, (Menu > save) and close leafpad and terminal.

Restart your N900, and Presto! you should have a reboot option.

Does anyone know offhand if it's possible to force the phone app into landscape mode? The only options are portrait and automatic; has someone found a conf file that will accept a landscape-only configuration?

He means "systemui.xml" in /etc/systemui/ instead of "systemui.sys".

I really like this reboot-option, but I don't want the top- and soft poweroff options. How do I only get reboot?

Instead of deleting the <!--- move it to below the reboot option.

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
I was able to remove the background shade of desktop shortcut icons using the hint provided in this thread - to rename the ApplicationShortcutApplet.png and ApplicationShortcutAppletPressed.png. Desktop real estate is saved.Thanks a lot guys.

Is there a way to remove the background shade in the top left corner of desktop where the time, battery stuff are shown ?

Replace the attached files in the theme folder with this transparent ones. This should work. I think there will left a seperator.

On a more serious note...

Put your mouse into those areas and drag them to your desktop. Then you can view them with a viewer

You have a space in the middle of most of those. I don't know if that would have any effect on the pattern. Remove it and try again.

I have found the perfect font for Maemo5

SF Cartoonist Hand

I picked it up from 1001fonts.com, originally from shyfoundry.com
I cannot find the font itself on shyfoundry.com however, the zip file with fonts in has a readme stating the font is indeed freeware.

The background image (lockslider.png) (800x480) goes
in /usr/share/themes/"THEME U USE"/backgrounds/

The other images (LockSliderTop.png, LockSliderThumbPortrait.png, LockSliderThumb.png, LockSliderRight.png,
LockSliderLeft.png, LockSliderBottom.png) go in /usr/share/themes/"THEME U USE"/images

Reboot and watch :)
