Go to Tear > Tools > Options (or push Ctrl+o in tear), there is a line named "user_stylesheet_uri", edit it and change the value to:
file:///home/user/.tear/diablo5theme.css (this has to match where you've put the file, watch out for the 3 / at the beginning)

This CSS theme will put all text areas, input text, ... to white with black text on it. Unless stated otherwise by the visited website. It makes gmail usable.

There are still some things that are not perfect (radio buttons have some black pixels around them), but it makes Tear usable with Diablo5Theme.

Great work and I hope it will make it into the base release of Diablo5.

Hello.
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}
 
MalamiR you are a genious ! Your solution fixed my lost button in hebrew vkb. You have a typo there coonf instead of conf.

Here the start of my desktop.conf now:
[Tasknavigator]
X-Type=panel_box
X-Position-X=0
X-Position-Y=0
X-Size-Width=480
X-Size-Height=0
X-Orientation=left
X-UI-Policy=libtasknavigatorpolicy.so
X-Is-Ordered=1
X-Config-File=tasknavigator.conf
X-Plugin-Dir=/usr/share/applications/hildon-navigator

Please someone post the one in the Diablo5 package so we can see what is causing this bug.

MalamiR 2010-06-10 18:44

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
giladmttw thank you for correcting my error in name desktop.conf.

In original Diablo5's desktop.conf taskbar section is commented with # symbol. This disables taskbar, but olso disables app-switcher.

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
This + Telescope is a great upgrade, kudos to Kroll and Mitrandir! It addresses many of the issues I had with the default interface.

Some comments by way of feedback:

* I am having the advanced-power icon woes discussed in post #104. The cure suggested - a reflash - seems a little extreme. Anything else that can be done to fix this?

* claws-mail: does not respond to the full-screen button when Diablo5 is enabled. Some colours do not work especially well, like the blue that highlights the selected folder. It was OK with black text, but a bit pale with white text. I can't find where this is configured.

* I use maemo.org startup screen, and Diablo5 replaces the shutdown screen with a blue Nokia logo on a black background. Does it need to do this? The start-up screens are unchanged.

* On a slightly related note, I need a clock. I was using statusbar-clock, but it uses too much real estate on the status bar. I tried svgclock, but I could not get it to accept anything but the default theme, and it is not really what I want anyway. A simple digital clock is all I need, something like the homecpuspeed desktop applet, only with the time on it. Does such a thing exist?

giladmttw 2010-06-11 10:53

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
The original home clock applet is what you need. When you click on it the Clock application will open, click on any of the two clocks to change from analog to digital.

Try this in xterm:
gtk-update-icon-cache

Kroll 2010-06-11 12:13

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
So keyboard menu will be fixed in next release.

About Adanced Power icon. Try to change the icon in Ad. Power menu and change it to old icon back. It should help.

Yes. But start-up screens must be changed too, but in last release it doesn't work and tablet uses the default logo.

Thanks for the response.

It is closer to what I need, but still not what I am really looking for. It might work OK if I could get rid of the date display and get 24-hour format, but I can't see how to do either. Just a simple box with time in it is all I want.

I have the same problem. I believe I've tried reinstalling APM, running gtk-update-icon-cache (as both user and root), switching to both GTK and default themes for APM, and rebooting between a number of those. The icons for the regular battery meter work fine, but I can't get APM's to show.

Thanks for the tip. I don't have my tablet with me right now, but I will try when I get home.

I like the maemo.org screens, but if you can also provide something better than the default Nokia ones I will be happy. :)

Hey there!
Thanks, it is such a nice idea!

Actually it was my first way to remove the TaskNavigator, but there was a few side effects, but now, with Telescope, I can fix it.
So finally this bug is fixed!

Actually the links color is a bit bad... But I can't change the color of directories names...

Mitrandir tries to teach Telescope work with notifications.
Next release will include the dependency of Telescope so any new (or "old") Diablo 5 user will be pushed to use Telescope. And the next our step is to seize the World.

This is not working either. I switched to the ThinkLinux theme and had the same problem, and this trick did fix it, but not in Diablo5.

On the clock front, I found osso-statusbar-cpu, which does everything load-applet did for me, and has a clock!

Kroll 2010-06-15 01:58

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
one guy said that this method worked for him with Diaablo 5.

Personally, I prefer this to the white background one.

Kroll 2010-06-15 13:10

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
But if you set the background to black then startup logo become black too...

Not on my device. I still have the blue NOKIA on a white background at startup.

I wouldn't say you did anything wrong. After all, I wouldn't have known unless you had mentioned it. Dude, you did an *amazing* job on this theme...

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Thanks. There is a lot of things need to be done, but currently I can't do it, because I haven't got any PC, only my tablet... But I didn't finish it, so do not worry, some bugs will be fixed as soon as I will have a PC with Photoshop and Internet connection...

Understood. The main issue I have is that a number of apps don't work correctly with dark-background themes. I was thinking of compiling a list. Right now there are only a few I have encountered. I was thinking about filing bug reports, but some (for example, Xword) haven't been updated in 2 years.

You gotta highlight it to actually read it, i don't know if anybody else have this issue?

A better way I have found in Pidgin is in Tools, Plug Ins. Then enable Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control, you can configure different colours for Hyperlinks and more from here.

I was going to compile a list of apps that have this problem. I noticed it a while back when using AndrewFBlack's maemo5 theme. I think it's that the apps in question don't honor (or partially honor) the theme's colors (e.g. background but not foreground colors). Thus far, my list is:

XWord (clues are black-on-black)
Rapier (text is white on white except verse numbers)

The built in chat program is black on black. Any chance of fixing it? I use the chat app alot with rtcomm.
Also some emails don't work. Facebook emails have white on white text, idk why.

As I said, its probably a problem with the app rather than the theme. Have you tried filing a bug with the author of the app?

Even he tryed (He did't) the author will keep silence, because he allready explained how to fix this. Look the first post please.
The author.

By the way, the update will be available as soon as I find a PC with Photoshop. I have no PC, Internet or photoshop at all so I can't say yo'all when it will happen.

You won't be finding an author of the email app, nokia has killed diablo.
Update: alright. I havent seen this in the thread, but with telescope in (since this theme disables the home button by default), how can I see who is messaging me? Like a new message. And the email program no longer seems to notify me of new emails in the background, either.

I did this trick copied below, to get email, chat and other notifications back - not pretty, but it works....

thanks to the developers for this beutiful theme.

Can you please change the home menu icon to somthing that goes well with the rest in the status bar ?


Mgamerz 2010-07-10 20:12

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Okay, that works, but it's fugly... Wondering how to change the icon as well.
edit: also, when rotating (using opera), the normal 'home button... logo (810)' is grey and sideways and does nothing in portrait mode.

Kroll 2010-07-10 20:18

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Notifications will be showing in Telescope _in the future_.
Switcher in Diablo5 will be changed in the next version.

Minor changes + dependency of Telescope + fixed virtual keyboard bug. I haven't got a PC to do something more...

Yeah, you'd better not make anything to get dirt! Like stole an iPad from Apple Store!!!!

Kidding! Dunnot forget to answer my emails, about developing Diablo5. I guess it would be easier for you if some people help you, hm?

So you made the Telescope dependecy? Did you solve the virtual keyboard bug? Pls, send me the email of your friend that had compiled your theme! I wanna compile this cnaged version to yyou take a look.

Best regards

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
:confused: Hey really weird question: does Telescope/DIablo5 theme mess with the MCE.INI file in any way?

I use mcedit to enable power button double press=softpoweroff, and I have a random occurrence of it not staying set ( double press set to disabled).

Hmmm, I just upgraded telescope this morning(extrasdevel), could that have done it?

Thanks

ps on a N800

Mgamerz 2010-07-14 06:08

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
I don't know if you are in touch with the telescope developer but it seems if opera does screen rotation while the home menu (telescope) is up it eats up real estate permenently during telescope being open....
also, I assume there is no minimize button?
