The clock is the Desktop Clock Widget by Nicolai, and the Cairo theme is Black Transparent, downloaded from gnome-look.org.

How to enable Reboot button?
plus more..

in power button settings!




When you press the Power button, a menu is shown containing options to e.g. Switch off or lock the device. And what if you just want to reboot it? Sure, you can use the "Switch off" function and then just press the Power button again to turn the N900 back on. But it can be made simpler and quicker as you can add a separate "Reboot" button to the menu, which will automatically reboot the device without you having to do anything.

All you need to do is to edit one config file and "uncomment" its part responsible for showing the button, disabled by default.

In order to do this, you will to:

* Download and install rootsh from the Extras repository, which will give you root access in the X-Terminal
* Download and install Midnight Commander, the well known file manager which also contains a convenient text editor.



Now the actual modification:

Launch X-Terminal
* type sudo gainroot to enable root access
* type mc to launch Midnight Commander
* in the Midnight Commander, using the keyboard arrows, browse to the /ect/systemui/ folder and select the systemui.xml file
* make a copy of that file, just in case that you do something wrong, so that you can simply restore its original version anytime
* tap the 4 Edit button (at the bottom) to open the text editor
* at the bottom of the file you will notice that part of it (consisting of three ... entries) is disabled within the "comment" marks (starting ).
* move the "comment" marks mentioned above "<!--" (e.g. by deleting and re-typing them in other place) so that the two remaining entries ("Soft poweroff" and "Top in XTerm") are still within them but the "Reboot" entry gets outside of them
* tap 10 Quit button at the bottom of the editor and confirm in the requester that you want to save the file (if you don't see the 10 Quit button you may need to change the X-Terminal font size to 10)
* exit Midnight Commander, close X-Terminal and reboot the device
* after the N900 reboots, you should see the new "Reboot" option in the Menu.


When using the X-Terminal with root access enabled, be EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS! Root access enables you to modify (and thus also DAMAGE) all system files, which can even result in BRICKING the device. If you don't know what you are doing, better don't do it.

How I can copy & paste the <!-- under the reboot text.. I don`t know the tricks of Midnight commander ?!

Ok, Linux noob here, needing help to get this applied.

Unzipped (untarred, whatever!) the file to a folder location on the phone. Checked out the contents of the file - loadsa *.svg files and one *.conf file. Opened the conf file and it appears to be basics on the theme. However, can't actually apply the theme to the clock through desktop settings (clock settings).

A little help please.....?

I didn't use Midnight Commander, I used Nano instead. Open X-term and type in the following:

Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get install nano
cp /etc/systemui/systemui.xml /etc/systemui/systemui.original.xml
nano /etc/systemui/systemui.xml
Then simply delete the <!-- and --!> at the top and the bottom of these buttons. Then press Ctrl+x to exit, pressing Y to save changes. It will add Top in Xterm, Soft Poweroff and Reboot buttons to the main power button when pressed.

Hope I've got the commands right....

Switch what happens when you navigate to the folder containing the .svg's and .conf from the settings of the clock widget and select it?

EDIT: You need to have 'Built in Theme' deselected if that helps.

Yeh, the "Built In Theme" option is deselected (otherwise you cannot choose custom), and when I navigate to the folder through the menu selection from the widget there is nothing selectable within the folder.... Leading me to the conclusion that perhaps there is something I am missing......

Any help you can offer would be appreciated mate - PS - thanks for the +fav on Tears For A Fallen Angel on dA :D

I've got some more photomanips I'm working on but home & work are kinda mental ATm hence the lack of dA activity!

Attached is a copy of my systemui.xml. Download and unzip it, then replace yours using xterm:

Code:
sudo gainroot
cp /home/user/MyDocs/systemui.xml /etc/systemui/
If you can't overwrite it or if it gives you an error then rename your original systemui.xml to another name and then repeat the copy exercise.

Permission granted :)

For packaging I think the easiest path would be to install py2deb to your phone and package the theme with it.

I've try it but always the same error.. hmmmm

soooo I've found the problem.. the "old" xml file (xx.original.xml) was it .. I moved it to the MyDocs for backup and then I have the correct window. There were 2 systemui files (original and the new one) and both will be use in it ! :D

here the result...

The easiest way to change the boot up video is using boot Screen :

http://maemo.org/packages/view/bootscreen/

and download version 0.3.4

After you download the package, go to settings and you will see the app there. Have fun.

Oops :eek: Sorry about that.

I don't think you can change the start up splash screen, but I might be wrong. Here is a post that mentions it, but I believe users were only able to get rid of the shut down splash screen:

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=480

and here is one that says most likely you can't change the start up one:

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=482


Last but not least, an entire thread on what you are looking for:

That's correct, he is not talking about the boot video, that's the easy one to change. I have searched high and low mate and without any luck, I do recall a thread saying it wasn't possible to change the image as locked away somewhere deep that wasn't accessible.

The easiest way i could come up with not using ssh winscp or some linux distro is by xterm.
Just type this in@xterm:
sudo gainroot 'enter'
cp -r /usr/share/themes/yourthemetocopy /home/user/MyDocs 'enter'

Then just plug in you phone to the pc and transfer theme folder ;)

I just did and it worked :)

(to do this you need rootsh installed)

Hey Atilla, thanks, glad you like the icons. Please find two lots attached to this post - sorry but they were all confused earlier on in the thread and covered various pages of posts. I hate trawling too....

The CPU-Mem applet is one that's annoying me too - can you tell me where the images are that the applet runs from and I'll Chrome them up too, so then the status area is nicely matching all over....? I take it you also found the 2G ~ 3.5G Chromed icons as well?

Cheers.....

Ok, last changes for now - I changed the scrollbars to match, and tweaked the stylus button... it's an odd one that repeats part of itself to fill any space, same with the some pof the scroll bar buttons. Fiddley little buggers! :)
Think the best I can do for now is save it as a zip file but I don't have a p[;ace to upload it to.. will see what I can do about that when I get time :)

Sorry mate, I can't honestly answer your question, but I don't think you can, not without getting right into the code of the OS itself..... Maybe a linux guru will happen by this thread and be able to respond more fully, but on the face of it I would have to say no.....

There are no icons for the cpumem applet, the symbols are hard-coded. I spoke to tuminoid and he's going to try and do something for the next release.

Here's the reply I got:

Hi!

Currently it is hardcoded value, but I intend to patch it to support configurable colors via gconf or perhaps via some file. The hard thing is to make it somehow react to theme changes, so a theme could define them. Perhaps I need to make those bars real images, that'd be easiest way.

So, hold on to your hat, but don't hold your breath :-)

Cheers, Tumi
