There is no minimize button. With Telescope you don't have to minimize applications.

MCE.ini was changed while Telescope instalation. Diablo 5 doesn't change mce.

T-baars, this man is Mitrandir, Telescope creator.

I think today I'll turn the night working on DiabloTurbo and maybe do something in Diablo5. If I have done some interesting change I send you a screenshot. However, I'll be here overnight. If anyone has any doubts about DiabloTurbo or something, send me an email or PM.

Best Regards

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
First of all, thanks for this theme (and to whoever did Telescope). It was like breathing new life into an extremely useful and moderately powerful device that has been deprecated by its parents in it's youth (yeah I'm looking at you Nokia!).

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.

Any pointer in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. :D

I did the community ssu and my batery life took a slight hit, but I didn't notice too much from this. I think telescope, when open does use more cpu than normal... uh task-switcher cause of the live thumbnails

Hey There

Diablo5 is totally new now. But all my work with the menu goes down with this new Laucher. I cannot complain, its better than mine. When I finish my mods in Diablo5, i will make a youtube video.

Sorry for the delay, but I'm too busy these days.

Best Regards

Kroll 2010-07-21 16:54

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Jucato, Mgamerz

Diablo5 is only a theme and it can't drain the battery.
Telescope updates the thumbnails only then it shows them and Telescope just receive the pictures from OS as well as other applications so it cant drain the battery as well.

But!
The screen rotation require some kernel modification and it can cause the battery drain. Clock and load applets can use more power, check it too.
But not Telescope and Diablo 5, be sure. You can ask about it Mitrandir - Telescope developer.

Best regards,
Kroll

Hey tbaars!

Please send me a few screenshots of your mods!
Diablo 5 is going to Extras as soon as Mitrandir build the package (he is on vacation right now, without access to PC))) and if you will be in time for release I can add your mods to Diablo 5 v1.0!

5-6 days? I'm not sure :)

tuliobaars 2010-07-21 19:04

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
OK! In max. 5 days I will send to you

Whew! Thanks for conforming what I was suspecting. The Diablo 5 and Telescope combo is so great that I think I can bear with a bit of a battery drain if they were indeed the culprits. Thank goodness they aren't. :D

Now to figure out how to undo that Rotation stuff. My apt-get fu fails me. But that's for another thread. Thanks! :D

Kroll 2010-07-22 15:41

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Do you use Comunity SSU? It allows you to rotate screen too and it consist some kernel patches as well. But it makes tablet better so I can bear with battery drain too :)
Best Regards

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
I finally have a spinner again (original themes one went mia) and the one on this shifts one pixel to the left when it is at the rightmost... uh tick? It drives me nuts. Need fix!

LOL, I've noticed that! It doesn't bug me too much, but a fix would be nice.

Mgamerz 2010-07-23 14:01

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
I was without the spiiner for so long that the new one must be perfect and its 1 pixel from it!!!!

Okey.
Though I write in English it doesn't mean that I can read English. Repeat, please. Nice and slow.
What a terrible thing happend you guys screaming about?

cstryon 2010-07-23 23:16

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
I'm not sure how Mgamerz lost his 'spinner' but he got it back.

Issue we have, is when the 'spinner' is spinning, whether it says "Searching" or "Updating" or "Loading", it slides a pixel left when the spinner is pointing far right. If you go in to app manager, and click check for updates, which the thing spinning in the top right, you'll know what we are talking about. :) Is spinner even the right word?

Kroll 2010-07-23 23:50

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Okey so you mean this bloody jumping circle on the notification banner?
Hehe, it was my fail: when i created it I have forgot to check it and include in package. Now I am in USA and I have no PC and program to fix it. I think I will be able to do it in October, then I will return to Russia.
Don't be so nervous :)

I'd let you use my pc, but I doubt you're in AZ.

Kroll 2010-07-24 22:08

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
lol ok.

Go to /usr/share/icons/Diablo5/scalable/hildon/ and edit .ani files. I have no idea what Windows ani file doing in the Linux based OS O_o
Please send me fixed version and I will include this fix to the next version.

Still waiting for Mitrandir to release new version of Diablo 5. He is on vacation right now, but I hope he will do it in a few days. Sorry for delay.

cstryon 2010-07-24 23:16

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Haha. Ok, I think I can wait :P

Watching the video above, I noticed that he had the app_laucher_menu
icon most left as opposed to the launcher_switch which was moved to the right next to the quit.

I noticed this maybe an early version of the Diablo Theme but was just wondering if it's possible.

And also, if the app_launcher_menu is that far, where's the Home button in the home screen?

yep, that was funny. I took this video, uploaded it to youtube and prepared all files to make a .deb. It was about 3 am and I found one very interesting idea... that I can make my theme looks like maemo 5 even more and placed switcher to the right.

Home button is right there statusbar ends. The same thing will be in the next release because there will be an telescope applet instead of this switcher. Here is a screenshot how next release will looks. I don't like it, but Hildon is terrible thing and I can't improve it...

giladmttw 2010-07-25 22:07

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
I was hoping mitrandir would recompile the status bar and change the hardcoded 7 plugins limitation. We could have 15 icons there.

Kroll 2010-07-25 23:10

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
How can he do it I wounder? Hildon is "closed" part of OS and I don't think that there is a way to take off this limitation. I saw one Hildon's bug with 12 applets shows up, but it was just a bug.

cstryon 2010-07-25 23:21

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
That .ani file, do you know what is in it that needs to be fixed. I follow directions fairly well. :P

giladmttw 2010-07-26 00:28

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
I once googled this issue and saw the number 7 in the source. I'll search again.

edit:

Found it. Line 41 here says:
#define HSB_VISIBLE_ITEMS_IN_ROW 7 /* max num of visible items in one row */

wow. I thought Hildon's source is "closed" O_o
I gonna send this notice to Mitrandir.
Thank you!

You need any .ani editor. One frame of animation goes left - it needs to be moved to the right.
Thank you!



Some news:
There is one unforeseen circumstances with one statusbar applet... release will be ready as soon as applet will be fixed.

Do I need to copy the original on to my PC, edit it, then put the new one back on the NIT? And where on the NIT will I find it? I'll do my best to get it right, and tell you how it goes.

EDIT: Oh right, you already told me where it was :P. I'll give it a shot!

Kroll 2010-07-27 20:36

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Yep, just make sure that animation is ok, do not fail like I did :)

giladmttw 2010-07-27 21:11

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
If you change the pixmaps then yoh might as well change it to something interesting, like a girl undressing. Waiting for update will be fun :)

cstryon 2010-07-27 21:15

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
@Giladmttw: Ha! I was picturing Link swinging a sword in all different directions, but a lady undressing is also a good idea :P

@Kroll: It may be the editor I am using, but when I roll that frame to the right, instead of the animation bouncing left, it's bounces right :S. Going through the program to see if I can do some kind of half way roll instead. Do you have an editor you recommend?

cstryon 2010-07-27 22:14

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Ok, ignore all my old ramblings. I fixed the .ani files. I guess I can't attach files in a PM. Kroll, is there somewhere I can send them to you? Or would you like me to post them up here?

I couldn't test it on my n810, I can't seem to write over the old files, emelFM2 says denied :S.

Edit: tested on my n810. looks good to me. I hope it looks ok

I noticed that there is no Diablo5 entry when selecting background image in the home scereen menu. Maybe something is missing here:

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Dunno if this has been mentioned but the 'down arrow' in the system tray opening up the... well second row I guess opens it but sometimes never closes it. (it locks the tray to only use the second row, and no home screen use either). Not sure if this is theme specific. Only fix is to kill one of the hildon-desktop processes (why is there 2 anyways?)

If I had any experience in .ani animation I would be happy to recomend the editor... but I am such a noob :) You can send .ani file by email: r.d.olivo at gmail dot com
Thanks a lot!

By the way, undressing girl sounds good for me as well :P


giladmttw
Hey, wait)))) Actually there was no background in last release but there already is background in new release. Anyway, thanks!)


Mgamerz
What arrow you are talking about? Near the Title?
