maemo.org - Talk - * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *

I dont get how to edit the Lockscreen window.
Could someone tell me where exactly i need to replace the files ?
Already messed up my phone a bit and can't change themes anymore :D

For the background

/home/opt/themes/<theme>/backgrounds/lockslider.jpg

Can also be .png. If there isnt one (this happened to me) you can just create one and place it in the folder.

Like so:
http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/21/lockslider.png

For the slider pngs:
/home/opt/themes/<theme>/images/

LocksliderLeft
LocksliderRight
LocksliderThumb

Are the images you need i think.

You have concentrated too much on making a big red arrow.

Instead you should have read the post about 4 before yours where i posted a link.

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!

I'm not really the one to be asking but Ill try to answer.

in cmd line:

Code:

lshal

will output a ton of information on the system.

you can use a cmd called grep to limit the info to a match of your choice. i.e.

Code:

$> lshal|grep battery.reporting

this will give only information relating to the battery.reporting portion of the output of lshal cmd.

The awk command allows you to use / manipulate that data in much more detail.

See here
http://lowfatlinux.com/linux-awk.html

If you check the examples in the widget you will be able to work out how this works, if you are a geek head, like me ;)

Someone has already posted an example of using wget to get data on airports.. but I cannot for the life of me remember where I saw it.

/usr/share/icons/hildon/$res/hildon/

where $res is the resolution.

you have to search for those icons in these folders.
the media-player icon is stored in 64x64.

if you don't have a working ssh-connection for looking into it via your pc...
you can copy all of these folders to somewhere in your MyDocs to see them over usb.

open xterm:

Code:

sudo gainroot

mkdir MyDocs/icons

cp -r /usr/share/icons/hildon MyDocs/icons

there are already some scripts integrated.

with top you have a problem because it uses multiple lines and i don't know if dcew already is capable of this.

so you maybe have to rip top apart (with awk or sed) and use one widget per line.

I think it can do multiple lines, but top is auto-updating (as opposed to run once with some ouput), and DCEW can't handle that. You'll have to do "top -b" (if N900/Busybox top includes the -b argument) to make it run once and then stop.

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!

O.k guys, I must be a muppet of the first degree, but I keep trying to do the bat icon mod and I'm getting no where.

I can't seem to find the icon folder, when I try to access the folder through the file manager, I can't seem to find it, when I try to get to it via xterminal, I either get, permission denied, or no such folder.

What the hell am I doing wrong?

Marc

O.k, I figured it out, I needed an SSH setup with the phone, took me a fair bit of googling to find that.

Hi guys,
after having asked a friend, he made a bar.
And I think it looks quite well with the default lockscreen of the matrix theme. Therefore I share it with you (he also agreed to).
The two pictures (You can put some nice writings on the first image):

With this method I can decide wich font is changed. (See screenshot: white letters changend but the orange smaller are orginal font)

Part from gtkrc:

##############################

# legacy

style "osso-SystemFont" {
font_name = "Nokia Sans 18"
}

....

###########################
# new fonts for fremantle #
###########################

style "SystemFont" {

}

style "EmpSystemFont" {
font_name = "Nokia Sans Bold 18"
}

style "LargeSystemFont" {
font_name = "Nokia Sans 26"
}

style "SmallSystemFont" {
font_name = "Nokia Sans 13"
}

style "EmpSmallSystemFont" {
font_name = "Nokia Sans Bold 13"
}

style "X-LargeSystemFont" {
font_name = "Nokia Sans 31"
}
....

can you just confirm im reading this right.

I copy a font into /usr/share/fonts/nokia, then I edit the gtkrc file and change where I want the new font to be used?? do i not need to tell the system the name of the new ttf file??

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!

And continueing the Bunny theme also a lock slider :

http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7743/bunnyslider.jpg

Of course without the 'property of Paula' ,
I did included the banner so you could make your own,
or send a request and I will make you a personal one.
On the real screen the sleeping bunny is a lot bigger then shown here.

Download Bunny Slider

and some new menu icons:

http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/2192/bunnypic.jpg

Have to admit the 'You have mail or sms icon' is black...and is not so clear on a dark background.
I changed this to the following other colors.

http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/1879/bunnypic2.jpg

When you wanna use one of these pinkish ones with the filename
wmTaskSwitcherIconHighlight1 make sure you remove the 1 - 5 from the file name before using them.

Download Bunny menu icons here.

Hope you like them.

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!

You may need to correct it manually by editing the font characters. I used a freeware tool called Type Lite, which allowed me to change the title of Droid font to Nokia font to avoid compatibility issues.

No!No!No!Yes!

does anyone know of a way so that when you boot your n900 it automatically loads a particular desktop (say desktop 1) rather than the most recently used desktop? your input and advice is most appreciated. thank you.

Make a backup of the original png's.

move files in desktop folder to:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon

move files in statusarea folder to:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/

Reboot your N900.

I ve got your hitech battery icons and I find them amazing. I want to ask you something. Can u work with statusarea_battery_verylow and statusarea_battery_low so they will be in the same style as hitech? It would be great. Tnx for your time.
