Re: Maemo 5 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
But I can't find them in /usr/share/themes/neon/backgrounds/.
There are just the app_install....
But maybe I'm just blind :P

Those are the ones. All the app_install*.png -files. If you're talking about icons that catorize (and app manager) is using as category icon.

Re: Maemo 5 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
But why are the icons in the folder and the used different ? Oo

I might just have missunderstood you :)
Did you mean the icons shown at the application manager as category icons? And are those same icons that are being used by catorize (I don't have it installed atm)?

Those icons are from /usr/share/themes/your theme dir/backgrounds/
Cannot remember the size though. Pretty sure it was 128x128.

LOL you're absolutely right, they're originally 128 - I halved the size of my app menu items to fit them all on one screen without needing to scroll!

My first answer was backgrounds :D

SHUTDOWN SPLASHSCREEN

http://www.mediafire.com/?dmj24mgmwty

put the png image you want to use in:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
and rename it 'startup_nokia_logo'
then reboot phone

make a backup of the original file from that location first
and keep it safe incase you ever want the original back


http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/3119/88144632.gif

not sure why it still shows the old image when booting up, but this works for shutdown, hopefully someone can help with that

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




CHANGE STATUS AREA BATTERY ICON COLOUR

http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/8671/screenshot122.png

http://www.mediafire.com/?mivnrinzhnn
just unzip the download from above and put the 8 png files into:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
and reboot phone.
there already renamed this time
but make a safe backup of the originals for yourself
before overwriting any of these files




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

CHANGE OFFLINE/ONLINE NOTIFICATION SOUNDS

when phone first loads and connects, or when switching to online mode, the phone plays a quiet beep sound,
i changed that to 'welcome - to the real world' (morpheous from the matrix)

and a new offline sound, plays when going offline, 'command functions are offline' (from star trek i think!)

download and unzip from the link below:
http://www.mediafire.com/?v3tnjdnddmk
and put the 2 files into:
/usr/share/sounds
and reboot phone

make backups of your original files before overwriting with these


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


and a couple of startup animations i made:

http://www.mediafire.com/?ntzjkwbjztj

http://www.mediafire.com/?wz05ztnz2ty

just put the avi you want to use into:
/usr/share/hildon-welcome/media
and rename it 'Hands-v32-h264'
no need to mod the config file if you keep the original name

make a back up of your original file first

Re: Maemo 5 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
hey all, OK so ive done a few of these mods now. i have two questions.

1) How can a make a script and run it off desktop, however i need the script to execute xterm commands has i hate having to type them everytime my theme gets an update.

2) With profile, you know how you have silent and that gives you an icon in the status bar, how can i make it show an icon for general?

If you use Windows by far the best way is to install WinSCP and OpenSSH, you can then copy/amend/view all your files on your PC which makes things a million times easier.

Run scripts off the desktop using Desktop Command Execution or Queen BeeCon widgets

http://maemo.org/downloads/product/M...ktop-cmd-exec/

http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/queen-beecon/

The second ones harder... I would speak to someone like Omeriko

http://forums.internettablettalk.com/member.php?u=29780

...He made the call notify app (which puts an icon in the status area), so he should be able to help you or give you an idea as to how to go about it. You might need a dedicated app for that tho!

Hi everyone, i was wondering if anyone can give me a step by step guide as to how to change my fonts and the media player widget and icons, and not just a put in here/there/hildon/up/down type thing but a more detailed explanation, or even script that i can put into xterminal.

im still new to this and i dont know commands and stuff and its driving me mad, i also want to change my conversations if anyone can help out there too that would be amazing!

thanking you in advance.

all you have to do is read... read a wiki or a thread of a specific project you want. like for example changing icons u have to read about ssh-ing like using winscp or filezilla. read how to install ssh server and how to connect to ur device. thats the fist thing u hve to learn bfre customzing you device. and if u cnnot get it or undrstand the basics of it, then maybe maybe n900 is not the device for you. or just leave it just the way it is...
n900 for me pimpd or not is still the most beautiful phone ever:D

OK you're going to need to follow the steps above and get WinSCP and OpenSSH up and running on your phone/PC, that is the most important thing.

There are tons of step by step guides on how to do it, I've linked to a few earlier in the thread (and above):

http://talk.maemo.org/search.php?searchid=7887631

Once you can literally see the files and folders and the way they are arranged this whole thread will make much more sense believe me!

I took the liberty of asking him to change the top script to just 'On' and 'Off', and he added the colour selection setting as a little extra ;)

http://i48.tinypic.com/x2nfqr.png

Like I said- this is what makes open source great, so please please please thank the chef if you see him about, not the waiter

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

EDIT: To install just click the link from your N900 and install from app manager


EDIT: Modded the icons slightly and made it so red is off, blue is on, darkened and deepened the red- all attached

No just ignore the update if it's for the original version, I think this version will be pushed out as an update soon anyway mate

Re: Maemo 5 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
I can't recall in this thread or another. A guy posted some battery icons that changed in colour, red being low and green full. Is anyone able to make new icons for the signal indicator in a similar fashion. I really like the colour difference, makes it really simple to see and no idea how to make them myself.
Would be much appreciated.

Re: Maemo 5 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
SR90,
Goodman, exactly what I was looking for. Now not trying to be difficult though have zero idea and simply feeling my way.
If I load as I have now done, all these different Icons etc, when I update the firmware the will be written over. Is anyone able to show us how to create a simple script to reload them all from a set folder?

Would be most appreciated.

You need to replace the following files in /YOUR THEME/images with transparent png files of the same size

wmLeftButtonAttached.png
wmLeftButtonEnd.png
wmRightButton.png

The following files you can edit to show an icon when pressed

wmLeftButtonAttachedPressed.png
wmLeftButtonEndPressed.png
wmRightButtonPressed.png

If you need the files themselves I'll post them up for you mate, just let me know :D

Note: Some themes (Marina/rstyle) are in opt/maemo/usr/share/themes as opposed to opt/usr/share/themes

True that's why I said "any size" coz I knew he would need more than one size.. IE.. 16x16,18x18,24x24 and 48x48 If you want to do the job right..

I just posted a 512x512 So he could resize them himself..
