Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Nvm, I just look for how to install it,
My friend you should add the correct command for the x-terminal since noobs like me can get a head ache and confusion i just install it by useing
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/matrix.deb

Your missing the /home/user Part

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

When you open the terminal you are suppose to be already in /home/user

You can check that by typing in the terminal.

a good trick when you enter a path is by touching the 'Tab' button on the screen (between the 'Ctrl' and 'Esc' button on the screen) before completing the path. It will fill automaticaly the name of your path.

e.g. by typing and then pressing 'Tab' on the screen, it will write for you if there is nothing else that starts with h.

This is quicker and you know that the directory exists at the same time!

Re: [Maemo 5 Theme] Matrix
 

No matter what I do, the boot video (any boot video, really) is gone. I've ssh:d, and copied the .conf file to correct folder, I've copied the matrix video to the right location (eventually even to /etc/hildon-welcome.d/media/ where the Nokia boot video was located when I started the operation. Nothing helps, and I don't get any boot video at all. Does anybody know what's wrong?

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

I use leafpad to do it. Maybe it will work for you too. Check this post:

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

That could be useful, but I already have the right .conf file.

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Great theme Lacedaemon!
Is there any chance you can PM the location of the fla file of the matrix avi. I would like to do some chances to give people choices as a startup.

thnx in advance
Shai!

Proudly presenting matrixReloaded: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...715#post494715

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Sure you got a PM.

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Any hope of a theme like this coming to the n800's?

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Lace thnx for PM!

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

While installing this theme I'm having following errors:

short read in buffer_copy (failed to write to pipe in copy)
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste returned error exit status 2

short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during './opt/themes/matrix/startup-wizard/StartupWizardListBgNormal.png'

Please help resolving it.

Thanks,

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

I just tried to install it and everything went fine.
Not sure why you getting this error.

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

I found why. Because from my N900 the link where this file is hosted (mediashare) disconnects frequently due to poor signal and/or ads opened on mediashare site.

I installed by going to app mgr -> downloads -> desktop -> matrix...

Let me know if that's the latest one. Thanks.

PS :: Theme is very good...

~nV!

Re: [Theme] Matrix

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Good concept but way too color full and too many animations which makes it look less professional. If you stick with one type of font, color and animation that will make it look even better.

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Matrix theme is now on extras testing(1.1 version is up).
Please test and vote.

Additional thanks goes to Flandry and D-livil.

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

I just found out that the color highlight of a selected SMS is blue.
I dont' know if this is a bug or a feature but I prefer green everywhere in the matrix theme.
So i changed

in

in css/colors.css. Now after a reboot the highlight color is green.

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Very nice theme, i'm currently using it. Is it possible to have some sound in the start up video so i know phone has started.

thanks

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Since some people deslike boot sounds, you can edit the avi and add any sound you want.

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Hi!

Thanks for the great-looking theme! I just love the way the background image works as you flick between desktops and the way text turns green when it is selected.

But say, would you be interested in making a darker theme? The backgrounds of buttons are a bit light in my opinion. How about making them almost all-black and any lettering on the buttons could be the cool cyber-green that's in wide use in the theme. I think now backgrounds and buttons are gray and I would like to see them black(er). I think just generally the boxes and buttons would fit in to the rest of the theme a little nicer, were they just a little darker. What do you think?

Also, the screen where you enter the PIN appears in somekind of a window. Maybe the window frame should be darker or dissolved into the black background all together? Looks more like an error prompt to me. Could it be my language setting (finnish)? I don't receive any errors, though to be clear.

I imagine it's really hard to pull off while maintaining this stylish look, but would be nice if you would play around with some of the key theme elements from Matrix. For example the red and blue pill or perhaps a white rabbit as an easter egg of some sort. For example, the button to say "OK" to continue after entering PIN could be the red pill and some button marking the exit could be either the blue pill or the white rabbit.

Or just keep it as it is: the best theme for the N900 at the moment.

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Hi, quick question, does anybody know where can I get the theme shown at http://pidgin.garage.maemo.org/ from?
It looks pretty cool to me ...

Vince.

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

It's Maemo 4 on the N8x0

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Would you please add a link to Bugzilla?
Without this package can't migrate from testing to extras. :)

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Sure, how exactly do I do that?

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Add one field to the debian/control file and point it to this thread or your email address

http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing...rting_database

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Every time I reboot my n900 the original Nokia Nseries theme is loaded instead of the matrix theme. However, the matrix desktop background is there, but not the icons.
The matrix theme is not selected when I open the theme selector.

I have installed the matrix theme using the application manager where I activated Extra-testing as catalog.

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Yes,the theme shown at http://pidgin.garage.maemo.org/ is the N8x0 theme "layout", but those specific "3D shaded" icons with mirror effect and raised window border and colors, that's a specific theme "design". Any idea where I can download it from?

Thanks,

Vince.

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Umm, that's not a maemo 5 theme SonicMist

Re: [Maemo 5 Theme] Matrix
 

I have copied the files to my Documents folder but in X Terminal am failing to succeed. It's my 1st time using X Terminal so am very nervous but am typing as follows:

sudo gainroot (enter)
"Enable RD mode if you want to break your device ~$"
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/matrix.avi (enter)
"BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2. legal-1osso26+0m5) multi-cal binary

Usage: mv [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST
or: mv [OPTION]... SOURCE.... DIRECTORY
~$
At this point I continued and typed

/usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/ (enter)
"/usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/ : not found
~ $

I have copied the file into my Documents directory under N900... way forward please?

Re: [Maemo 5 Theme] Matrix
 

It looks like you've split the command over two lines

$ mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/matrix.avi /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/

is what you want - all as one line :)

While I'm here, I've managed to bork my /usr/share/themes/beta/gtk-2.0/gtkrc file - Can anyone attach me a copy of theirs please? :)

Re: [Maemo 5 Theme] Matrix
 

You probably don't have rootsh installed since it says "Enable RD mode if you want to break your device", so you need to install it from application manager first. And also your mv command is wrong but someone already mentioned that.

Re: [Theme] Matrix
 

Is there a way we can make the wallpaper animated, like moving kinda like live wallpaper.Example would be like a Nexus one theme.

Re: [Release] Matrix
 

noob here.
this command:
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/matrix.avi /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/
should be given before or after sudo gainroot enter or alone...?tried both but only result is option...source destination...
can't load the boot video...please help...I've already installed rootsh...followed the saving options correctly...
Please help...

Re: [Release] Matrix
 

Lacedaemon, how did you do the Matrix-bootscreen? It looks awesome, but I'd like to get that tweaked a lil, changing what is written down there and maybe prolonging it a lil if it needs that.

If you could tell me the app I could try making it by myself or, if you are up to change it I'd appreciate it if you could tweak it to the followings (Every line would be a new screen with $MATRIX being the 'falling matrixchars'):

Welcome to keynet
Enter Username: mikki-kun
Enter Password: ********
Access granted
$MATRIX

So far one hell of a bootvideo :) I really like it.

Re: [Release] Matrix
 

Seek out the user 'leetut' on these forums. He's known for being generous enough to make bootvideos for people. Maybe he can help?

As for chaning the boot video, you need only to download 'Bootscreen' that allows you to put any video you want as the boot video.

Re: [Release] Matrix

Re: [Release] Matrix
 

Nice, but where to get it without the "crash" lettering?

This has nothing to do with Matrix.
