Sure, GConf! How could i forget!
I knew that qwerty12's patch is storing lock flag in gconf, but i have totally forget about this great place to store configuration of everything.
Thank you!

I'd just like to ask, are there any known issues with Diablo5+Telescope and power consumption? My battery seems to be getting drained a lot quicker these days ever since I reflashed + installed Diablo5 and Telescope and http://wiki.maemo.org/Rotation . But I'm actually not sure if it's the theme or the Rotation stuff that's draining the battery faster.

Losing the sidebar by using Diablo5 is really great, but my battery is suffering too. Monitoring CPU load shows the device is still doing basically nothing. This suggests to me that something may be happening along the lines of how VLC can prevent my laptop's CPU going into low power mode. Any possibility of this?

Telescope is cool an' all, but is there any way to get the original functionality back, mainly for the task switcher icon? I realise holding the task switcher hardware key works, but please, where did the ability to minimise windows go?

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}

I don't think telescope could reduce battery life. When it is hidden it does nothing except handling X11 events. And here will not be any if other applications on the tablet do not do any drawing.
(To be honest: latest unstable release, 2.0~rc1, has a problem with D-Bus mainloop, which can affect power consumption (potentially, but i don't think this is a case). But it is only in 2.0~rc1 and will be fixed in final version.)

Anyway, you can remove telescope and check if you battery will feel better.

Native taskswitcher icon in bottom left corner of the screen is isn't affected by telescope in any way, it is still usable.
To make Hom hardware key to call native task switcher instead of telescope -- just remove telescope :)

To minimize all windows with telescope you can either press-and-hold Home key or press it shortly to call telescope and then tap on any empty place (background).

Don't do any changes yet, I've played with the theme before and know what do if it breaks. Any change to theme.xml that is not right can make the desktop in load/crash loop. I boot from SD so it's easy to take the card out, mount on PC and change back.
It might be possible to use matchbox-remote to change the theme, sleep and change back, but I haven't tried it.

I think Console-Tools has a option in the pb command to chroot (or something to that effect) into a cloned partition. My internal flash is an image I can clone over thats stable and has what i want on it. my internal memory (810) houses my devels-ridden installation. I want to test your multiple icons extender, but am still too much of a linux noob (even though I have a mediatomb media server)...

Okay, now the small instruction for brave ones:
1. Make sure that you have libhildondesktop0, hildon-desktop and libhildonwm0 packages of exactly version 1:2.0.18-1fix1 and not, for example, 1:2.0.18-1fix1-1 or 1:2.0.18-1fix1-2. You can check it with this:

Code:

apt-cache policy libhildondesktop0 hildon-desktop libhildonwm0

It also seems that if you have installed patch for locking home applets from qwerty12, you must remove it and install regular version before.
2. Install this with “dpkg -i”: libhildondesktop0_2.0.18-1fix1-12applets_armel.deb. This package has 12 applets limit instead of 7.
3. You must also alter matchbox theme.xml to make space for more applets in statusbar. Below are my modifications of Echo theme, you can modify your one in the same manner. Statusbar should be increased to hold 5 more applets which equals to 5×40px = 200px.

/usr/share/themes/echo/matchbox/theme.xml:

Old:

Code:

<layer x="35" y="9" w="283" h="30"·

   type="label" color="osso-TitleTextColor" justify="left" font="osso-TitleFont" />

New:

Code:

<layer x="35" y="9" w="104" h="30"·

   type="label" color="osso-TitleTextColor" justify="left" font="osso-TitleFont" />

Old:

Code:

<button x="3" y="0" w="315" h="60" action="custom" options="inputonly,pressonly" />

New:

Code:

<button x="3" y="0" w="115" h="60" action="custom" options="inputonly,pressonly" />

Old:

Code:

<panel x="-372" y="0" w="280" h="50" />

New:

Code:

<panel x="-572" y="0" w="480" h="50" />

I have also changed background image in /usr/share/themes/echo/images/qgn_plat_application_status_bar_background.png to make window title “tab” narrower.

4. Reboot

Sorry to double post.
But my leafpad isn't working and nano is segmentation faulting on me. I fear if I reboot my installation will die, as I installed the new hildon stuff in this post.... but its turning it back into the echo theme it looks like?
I can't find where in the theme.xml file your values are posted.
Guess i'll next try on a desktop from an SCP'ed copy and use it instead.
Update: Yeah I figured they would be different. However I am going to try some values based on mathematical calculations of difference for what has been posted for the echo theme to the Diablo5 theme. Also, I lost my osso-softwareversion-rsXX (or whatever it is called), so now I can't use SSU. Hope there isn't any great updates or I might have to reimage this.
Update: I completely forgot that in echo the buttons are on the left compared to Diablo5 being on the right, so now all my icons are gone. Also the hacked up files you posted seem to only work on the echo theme, either that or I just don't remember what Diablo5's normal home screen looked like.

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}

libhildondesktop0 that i have posted works with any theme, but without tweaking matchbox's theme.xml file you will not see additional statusbar icons because they will probably be hidden by other desktop elements.

Also, Diablo5 theme may have totally different contents of theme.xml and it might not be so easy to guess what needs to be changed... Ask diablo5 users and may be someone could hint what to change. I'm personally not using diablo5.

Please notice that theme.xml should be accessed under root user.

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}

The echo theme.xml and diablo5 theme.xml are different since the themes are different, however, they use the same layout template as nokias echo theme.

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}

I admit I'm not as advanced as most of you, but I'm learning.

Looking at MalamiR's copy & paste fix I thought I'd apply the fix via sftp since thats more familiar to me. Long story short my edits did not restore copy and paste.

I changed X-Size-Width=0, X-Size-Height=0 (in [Tasknavigator] group change) in "desktop.conf" and "pre_diablo5 desktop.conf." I kept the old files by changing adding .bak to their names and added to edited ones. I rebooted via terminal. No copy and paste.

I found how to solve "copy/paste" virtual keyboard bug.
In Xterm go to /home/user/.osso/hildon-desktop/
run "cp desktop.conf desktop.conf.old"
run "cp desktop.conf.pre_diablo5 desktop.conf"
edit following in "desktop.conf"
in [Tasknavigator] group change
X-Size-Width=0
X-Size-Height=0
Save file and reboot tablet
Voala you have working vkb menu

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}

Yes, it is a simplest way to do it.
I already did all this changes, but Mitrandir found a way to increase quantity of applets in the statusbar so I wait for him... When he will find a way how to implement wide statusbar to the hildon I will make a new backgrounds and we will release next version.
Sorry for delay...

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}

Eager to see the next release. I'm currently taking EMT classes so I don't have as much time as I used to. But now that I have a pretty good idea of high .ico and .ani files work, I can help in that aspect when time permits it. Let me know if there is anything I can do.
