Default Alpha Theme Mod.
 
Here is my system wide mod for all you great members here at talk.maemo.org, iv been working on it for a while and now i would like to share it with you all.

Its a mod of the default Alpha theme (system files get modded).

So heres the screenshots...

Smaller icon backgrounds, new background for the music widget and new status bar.
http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/6...0716063.th.png

New contact frames and bookmark frames.
http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/6...0716073.th.png

New calendar background, ovi bar and RSS widget.
http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/692...0716083.th.png

New easyer to see edit buttons on desktop when in edit mode.
http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/514...0716085.th.png

New system wide buttons.
http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/3...0716090.th.png

Also includes a new swipe to unlock screen.
http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/5210/...0716094.th.png

New task thumbs.
http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/3...0716143.th.png

New incoming call/end buttons.
http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/6...0716161.th.png

New dial pad buttons.
http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/7...0712363.th.png

Also includes wallpapers.
http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/1...0716164.th.png

Also has the same style qwerty but i cant get a screen of that.

To use this mod just download my zip file, extract the 3 folders and put them in usr/share/themes/alpha and overwrite the default folders/images, you may want to backup the original ones first.

Once done just reboot and enjoy :D

Download the files HERE (2.8mb)

sudo gainroot, opens terminal in root
default, 250 600 default clock speed
overclocked, 250 805 low voltage
extreme, 500 950 ultra low voltage

customizable to what ever you want.

note: you need quicklaunch applette installed and obviously titans power kernel and kernel power settings, both available from the repositories

dont just download if you have no experience of overclocking the n900 as some pre configuring is reqired, these are just icons that run a script, you have to set it all up first!!!

enjoy

Can u share the scripts and describe with a few words how exactly you did it?

edit: I installed quicklanch app but it allows me to choose apps only. There is some way to write a script in order to "see" it like an app right? The commands for oc etc are the same of course.

Re: Maemo 5 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
@biggzy: wow, this looks extremely nice!

though, is there a possibility that this may come as a "standalone" app just like some other themes rather then overwriting the default one?

Exact 2010-06-07 20:44

Re: Maemo 5 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
Quick noobish question; if I'd like to try a different kinda loading image, how can I transfer the "indicator_update" -files, that i'm planning to use, from MyDocs to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon?

I've tried using x-term and a couple of filemanagers to move the files, but I was wondering, that is there any easy way to do this kinda things, like can you get the /usr/... -folders visible on the PC, when it's connected in mass storage mode?

Thanks a bunch!

Yeah, I have exactly the same question.
It would be really nice to install this as an additional theme from extras :)

biggzy 2010-06-07 21:32

Re: Maemo 5 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
I have no plans to make it into a full theme, but if some one wants to do it then be my guest, if no one does then i will see what i can do, i modded the files directly tho and have no template of this.

P.S. thanx folks, glad you like it.

Might I suggest you put them in /home/user/.local/share/icons rather than /usr/share/icons as this won't overwrite the originals and will survive an OTA firmware update? Also you won't need root privileges to move them there. If the command line isn't your friend, try installing CuteExplorer which has recently made it into Extras.

I've been using CuteExplorer for a while, and I searched the path you descriped, but there isn't a folder called "icons" in /home/user/.local/share.

And when I try to move the files in /usr/share/icons and overwrite the existing ones, it just says "failed to move blablabla"..

I really like this cell bar's which I found here http://meego.de/menueuser/downloads/...l-Level-Color/ but the colors are in my opinion a bit too "shiny" for the desktop so I fixed that and just wanted to share it here,

In which case, create it, along with the subdirectories you need, mirroring the ones in /usr/share/icons.

I'd imagine that'll be because you need root access to modify those directories. This shouldn't be a problem in /home/user

Stunning work Biggzy, editing the icon background footprint is a feat in itself.

EDIT: In particular I'm lovin the calendar background/ovi bar/media player/RSS widgets and the task thumbs.

One thing, I've found if you re-size all the app manager download icons (app_install_all.png etc) to 64x64 instead of 128x128 you can see them all on one screen without needing to scroll, and as an added bonus if you're using a custom transition.ini with zoom_for_home = 0 it matches the main menu perfectly ;)

If you're on a Windows PC you need to use WinSCP and OpenSSH to access you phones files.

http://www.nokian900applications.com...on-nokia-n900/

Once you've done that a good starting point is to copy opt/usr/share/icons and opt/usr/share/themes to your desktop, then it's just a case of looking through and seeing what you want to change :D

1.- I create a shortcut icon to call to my GF (I have free calls no longer than 5 minutes), so I make a call.sh that call her number , sleeps for 4:30 minutes (if it is still an active call) ends the call it dial again, if not it just ends the script.

2.- I like the remember me option in my social networks and forums and I don’t bother lend my phone to friends or family, what I don’t like is when they open the browser and log in with their accounts or worst to use it with my account. So I make a Fake password protected browser. Take a look to the pdf.

Do we just put in the relevant hildon folder? As in does everything in your 64x64 folder go in our N900's 64x64 folder. The reason why I ask is that I note that some icons are not the same size as the folders you have put them in. For example the smileys in your 16x16 folder are actually 48x48 in size. Do they go in the N900's 16x16 folder or 48x48?

Thank you mate, I appreciate the reply! I don't mean the loading indicators tho. My issue is that when I got into either my app manager or clock/alarms I still see the marina theme app manager/clock screen whilst my tweaked ones load, which then fade into mine.

EDIT: Solved- Switching themes clears the system image memory cache

Here's a screenshot, the icons go into the names shown on the folders so 48x48 would go into usr\share\icons\hicolor\48x48\hildon and the scalable in usr\share\icons\hicolor\scalable\hildon.

I don't think all the things that show up in status menu can be moved around through there. For example I can't find the 2G/3G/Dual switcher, or the quick launch, or the exchange server sync, and SSH on/off from there. I've also tried playing with the numbers to see what I can get to move.
