Re: Maemo 5 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

Thank you. Would you mind giving us a short overview of the changes, especially to MicroB

Re: * The Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

Nice job Crash. I downloaded your theme yesterday and saw them. I like him. Thanks buddy!

Re: * The Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

These look awesome, would you be so kind as to share them.

Re: * The Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

Guys,
Has anyone got a blue, green or yellow key on black keyboard? Would look pretty trick. Could some also advise how you change change the clock in status area colour, please. any assistance would be much appreciated.

Re: * The Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

The clock in the status area follows the main system font colour, so to edit the main system font you need to edit the colors.config file in your current themes main folder, colors.css in YOUR THEME/css and the gtkrc file in YOUR THEME/gtk-2.0.

Once that's done delete the gtkrc.cache file, and you're good to go!

EDIT: I'm pretty sure that the letters on the keyboard also follow the main system font colour.

Kind Regards,

-Devices screen stays fully lit up when locked, for a few minutes.
(great for a screen with a big photo or clock)
IE: you can see active screen but touch screen does nothing!
((I tried making screen stay lit for 30 mins but thats too long.. :())

-keyboard LEDs (backlight) stay on for 60 seconds also, with slow fade. (great for night use)


HOW TO: copy attached file (Rename to mce.ini) to /etc/mce/
*but BACKUP your mce.ini first*

Welcome to the community mate!

Wasn't really sure how you wanted them but try these, let me know if they're ok.

They go in the 'images' folder of your current theme.

@f2thak awesome mods mate, many thanks :D

Could you please tell us more about the microB mod... Like what it does?

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

Re: * The Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *

f2thank,
liking your work, would you be so kind as to make one that does the opposite. Everything goes off as soon as locked, screen and keyboard go black, screen and keyboard locked, no fade.

Re: * The Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

thanks my friend that is exactly. saludos from Caracas buddy.

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

How to lock the wallpaper to just one wallpaper? I want to keep just one wallpaper but still have 4 home screens. This way less frame lag and look better with just icons and widgets are flowing throw one background instead.

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

Maximus, just pick your favorite wallpaper and on your PC and save it four times as wallpaper1, wallpaper2 etc. Then create the desktop file mentioned on the bottom of this page (http://nokia-n900.com/n900-backgroun...r-by-yourself/) and use the same names you used for the wallpapers. Then dump all 5 files (4 wallpapers and 1 desktop file) in your images folder on your N900. Now when you go to change background you will see the name of the file you created there.

Hope this helped.

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

I think what he ment was to have fully static wallpaper and only icons would move when you swipe the screen.

Would indeed be a cool looking feature!

Re: * The Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

Not quite sure what you mean Q mate, what are you looking to do?

EDIT: It's probably me just being slow! :D

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

Got bored of white and the various other colour icons, so started to create some nice shiny chromey ones instead. Replaced the hildon desktop ones and this is the result:

Not too bad, kinda shiny. Hit me up if you want copies.

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

Very mecha... I like! :D

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

I play around in Ps quite a lot - simple Alienskin filters - resize icons, apply filter, shrink down and save as original *.png filename :D

Not done too much modding of my phone yet but bored at work, boss is out on a daytrip and nothin much happening..... Gotta fill the time somehow!

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

that sounds exactly like my day.

while the cat's away and all

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

Switch,
Those looks sweet as. Would you mind sharing them please?

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

Guys,
Wanting to make the desktop widgets clear. I am sure I saw these or at least a post about them some threads back though can't find it now.
Would it be possible for someone to change the FMTX widget and button to clear and text to blue, leaving the red and blue on off the same?

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

@ Coffee - sure thing chicken wing. Attached.

Unzip to your MyDocs folder and then copy entire directory. Can't recall exactly what the command was I used (trial and error methodology being a linux noob) but I think it went something like:

Well, it was either or . Can't recall to be honest, but got there in the end.

I'm sure if I've got it wrong one of the linux bods on here will sort out my erroneous posting.

All of the standard white icons are in there and chromed. Need to find the 2G, 2.5G, 3G and 3.5G ones to finish the job, and also if anyone knows where to find the graphics for the CPU-MEM applet I can run those through the filter too. Cheers all

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

Well couldn't it be done with a solid color background or something with stripes horizontal? Yes i know it wouldn't be you choice of wich ever .png, but maybe it would look cool to or a way to test it. Maybe somebody should make a brainstorm or request for it ;)

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

Anyone know how I can make the display come back on faster/sooner during a call after the phone has left my face? e.g. speed up the response time of the proximity sensor and / or the display.

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

I tried make up circle battery icons..
In statusarea it's ok..but desktop is too small 18x18 :(

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

I'd have a look through the transitions.ini, I'm sure that there are a few settings in there that'll do it- one (if I remember rightly) controls something like the number of angles the screen physically flips through (so less angles = quicker flip overall), and failing that you could edit the transition time itself for that action making it quicker.

EDIT: Or just use my transition file, it might do the trick straight if you're not already using a custom transition.ini

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

how to apply this? i am absolute noob to all this.. please help

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

That's some of the settings from a custom transitions.ini, the one I linked a few posts ago has the wave effect and quite tight transition times so if you just want to try it to see how it looks (as opposed to modifying your own) I'd suggest starting with that.

The file needs to be put in the main folder of the current theme you are using, which will usually be opt/usr/share/themes/YOUR THEME - I stress usually because it does vary from theme to theme

D4rK

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

D4rklar,
I double checked and couldn't find for the Alpha theme, so I went searching. I think i found it in hildon-desktop. Is that maybe a master file?

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

The standard Nokia 'NSeries' theme is the alpha theme, 'digital nature' is beta and they should both be in opt/usr/share/themes mate,

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

D4rKarl,
hmmm, that is odd!
I just double checked to make sure I haven't put my foot in my mouth.
I am using the alpha (N Series) and found the transitions.ini file in hildon-desktop, the only file in that folder actually.
I have looked under opt/usr/share/themes and only find folders to the themes. Maybe I have mine really screwed up or a different version?
I know zip about any of this, so please don't get offended, simply confused.

Stephen

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

Those look awesome mate, great stuff, like the way you're thinking!

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

I AM A TOOL..
I gust realised I was looking under usr/share/themes/.
That said, I just checked under opt/usr/share/themes and still the same thing. Should the file be floating in the themes folder loosely and by it's self. Not in a specific theme etc?

So with all this, should any files be in the hildon-desktop folder?
D4rKlar, your help is much appreciated.

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

I assume these are what you are looking for, standard, white stat area network symbols?

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

Hmmm,.
Looks to me as though they didn't upload correctly. I uploaded the .png files directly, please advise if work or need me to zip them.

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

Hey buddy. Your original transitions.ini file is in /usr/share/hildon-desktop. If you replace this one with any modified one, you will have modified transitions for any theme you choose. The only thing is the performance will vary from theme to theme.

If you only want to modify the transitions of a specific theme, then you need to go into your theme folder and edit the transitions.ini file in /opt/usr/share/themes/YOUR THEME (which is the name of the theme you are using.

Keep in mind though that if you do that, every time your theme has an update, you will need to go there afterward and re-edit the transitions.ini file.

Hope this helps!


EDIT: text removed. Corrected by D-Iivil below.

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

Just put the modified transitions.ini here and it will only affect that specifig theme:
/usr/share/themes/yourthemedirectory/

If you put your custom transitions.ini under hildon-desktop (or whatever that was) it will affect all themes. That's the only difference of those two locations.


You don't have to create any index.theme -files etc as someone mentioned before.

You don't need to go to /opt... since folder /usr/share/theme is symlinked there.

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 

Following on from the chrome experience yesterday please find attached the Cell Status chromed up as well. Unzip the file to MyDocs and move the contents using;

Then delete the "cellstatus" folder from MyDocs using;
Enjoy.

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

@Coffee sorry mate, I thought from the above that you were looking for the main Alpha theme file- not the transitions!
