That is one release I'm eager to see. I'm one of those people that 'hate' seeing and using the arrow on the status-bar. Having more applets visible at the same time would indeed be great!

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Yes, that'd be great... Been too long since the last version. ALso, why does the arrow's second menu not go away unless you click the arrow again? On other themes I have noticed it closes the menu on any other click.

I have no idea. This theme was just an experiment with config files... Maybe I broke something.

Is it possible to edit the colors of links in the RSS feed reader? Dark blue on black is hard to read. It's like that for most programs, but I know that it's also theme defined... But is it possible to force the rss reader to read a different file?

I think it is possible. Check /usr/share/themes/Diablo5/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
I don't know where changes should be made and I can't find out it because it is quet difficult without GIMP or Photoshop on PC...

Now if only the ssu could disable links while using rss feed reader.

I don't mean to be a bother, but can we expect an update soon?

Kroll 2010-09-15 01:26

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
I sent all files to Mitrandir 2 months ago and...
Now he has the n900 and new project on his job so if he have any free time he spend it playing with new toy...

But good news, I am leaving USA to Russia this week so I will able to work on my PC and push Mitrandir to build a package OR I will able to learn how to build it by myself.

Mitrandir 2010-09-15 03:45

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Heh, last several weeks i have free time only when i'm riding the bus between my home and my office :( When i was actively developing telescope, i was doing it mostly at my work time (not good, i know, but produces good results ;)). I rarely can spend the time at evenings because i'm trying to dedicate much time to my family.
So, don't angry on me too much :)

Kroll, if you can collect all the small parts you have sent to me into one final archive with all updated files of diablo5, it would be great and can speed up things :)

silvermountain 2010-09-15 05:30

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Is the next release the first that bundles Telescope and Diablo5 in one install package? I think I remeber that being the long-term plan.

If so, what will that package be called? :)

Mgamerz 2010-09-16 03:35

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Diablo 5.1 i'm sure

silvermountain 2010-09-16 04:26

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Diablo5T ?

cstryon 2010-09-16 05:02

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Devil Cinco?

silvermountain 2010-09-16 05:27

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Deteel ? :)

Semi-phonetic;
(De = Diablo, Te = Telescope, El = Launcher)

"Hey what's that UI you're using?"
"Oh, that's Deteel. It's great huh?"

moja 2010-09-16 17:53

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Great job, Kroll. Thanks so much! Diablo5 makes my N800 look awesome again!

As for a name after the merge with Telescope, how about Spyglass? Or maybe Galileo?

5) Email notifications
With the removal of the side bar notification of email, etc is missing.
Temporary work-around:
To get notifications, put the home menu in the status bar, issue as root:

cp /usr/share/applications/hildon-navigator/switcher-menu.desktop /usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/



I tried this but I keep getting denied access. Does anyone know another way to get email and chat notifications?

If you're getting access denied errors, you might not be doing it as root. Did you install rootsh and type 'sudo gainroot' before trying it?

Mgamerz 2010-10-03 06:00

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Why do people say sudo gainroot?
why not just use sudo -s?

Kroll 2010-10-03 10:09

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Why not just sudo?

P.S. Right now I am preparing the package of Diablo v. 0.8.
It is not a VERY big improvement because Mitrandir stopped working with increasing quantity of statusbar applets. I hope it will be available to download in a few days.

Kroll 2010-10-03 10:11

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
BTW I just don't want to go so far from "Diablo" name of the OS. But Deteel sounds nice.

Habit. Usually if I'm doing something as root, it's more than one command. Using gainroot I don't have to remember to typo sudo every time :)

This sentence have forced me to resume efforts on hildon-desktop :)

I spent two days and eventually compiled hildon-desktop with following patches included:
  • Changing maximum number of applets in statusbar
  • Locking home applets
  • Working application menu while controlling tablet remotely via VNC or with external mouse
  • Possibility to override hildon-desktop in handling notifications (may be useful for telescope in future)

I can not upload this build into extras-devel, because this will make all tablets to upgrade.

I have uploaded the build here: http://skriblovsky.net/maemo/hildon-desktop/
There are also all sources and diff from pristine tarball.

If you want to try it out, you need to install these debs:Don't forget to reboot after installation
Installation of this packages can lead to conflict with osso-software-version-rxXX package. Generally, it is safe to remove osso-software-version-rxXX.

You can also install my applet-count package from extras-devel. This is Control Panel plugin for changing number of statusbar applets.

If you are brave enough to install this, please post here your results!

I've failed to install the .debs.
Log was sent to you by email.

The changes seems amazing - especially the first two.
If they become stable I'd love to see them included in a Diablo5 release !

Mitrandir 2010-10-07 08:58

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Snoshrk
These debs must be installed from command line as root, like this:
Code:

dpkg -i libhildondesktop0_2.0.18-1fix1mtr_armel.deb libhildonwm0_2.0.18-1fix1mtr_armel.deb hildon-desktop_2.0.18-1fix1mtr_armel.deb
I don't think that graphical Application Manager will be so kind to install them ;)

Kroll, from the logs you have sent it seems that you typed paths to debs incorrectly

silvermountain, the more beta testers we have, the faster it will become stable ;)


I forgot to mention very important thing: in order to get more applets in statusbar you will need to tweak you theme config file too (theme.xml). Of course, i can help with this if you will give me the name of your favorite theme.

Kroll 2010-10-07 11:13

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Well, folks, how many applets would you like to have in Diablo5 theme?
I would like to have 9 of them, 10 is too many in my opinion.

cstryon 2010-10-07 15:45

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Neat. I like the draglock, and extra applets in the status bar. Though I haven't figured out how many I like. Thanks Mitrandir!

Kroll 2010-10-11 14:53

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Does anybody know how to change Skype chat text color? It use a config which is looks like themename/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and there is a line which set this color to DefaultTextColor. But there is no line which set this DefaultTextColor (I mean something like "DefaultTextColor = "#ffffff"")
This problem is the same as problem with built-in chat app, but in last one we can change color in settings but in skype we can't.

Diablo 5 v.0.8

* Fixed bug with virtual keyboard's menu (copy/paste/language)
* Default task switcher replaces with Telescope
* Diablo5 Wallpaper added
* CSS fix for Tear
* Window borders removed. Apps now working at full screen
* Some icons were improved
* More than 7 statusbar applets supported and desktop applets drag lock (If you already have installed patched hildon-desktop)


If you need patched hildon-desktop you need to install these debs BEFORE theme:
Use
Code:

dpkg -i libhildondesktop0_2.0.18-1fix1mtr_armel.deb libhildonwm0_2.0.18-1fix1mtr_armel.deb hildon-desktop_2.0.18-1fix1mtr_armel.deb
Don't forget to reboot after installation

Bug was fixed. v0.8.1

Kroll 2010-10-19 17:24

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
ok, bug was fixed. Please update (sudo apt-get update) repositories to prevent old package installation.

Re: [Announce]: Diablo5 Theme (By Kroll}
 
Maybe it's too early to tell, but I am not seeing the update. I also deleted some repositories, so I have a few I might have deleted the one that has Diablo5. Which repo is it in?

@kroll

Ok just updated to 0.8.1....

Issue 1: the desktop Menu button in the stauts bar (little blue flower) is pushed off the left side of screen - only half shows.

Issue 2: how does the telescope launcher work? Clicking the icon in the status bar (6 blue squares) does not seem to do anything - I see the telescope launcher /organize selection in the <Control Panel>Panels...

Thanks

>.< Had a typo in the URL for extras-devel. That's weird though, cause I've installed things from devel before :P. Ohwell. Will test, Thanks Kroll, and Snoshrk!

Edit: Thumbs up. Installed fine. Big plus for the X in portrait mode!

1. Actually it is not a flower. The reason this icon is so tiny is Hildon ignore settings for menu launch area on desktop for some reason. This area is on thne left side of statusbar: there is "home" menu button in built-in themes. So I need to place this button somethere in the left side... i did it. Actually the users who chosed only 7 applets can launch desktop menu by tap a bit righter than applets area.


You can find launcher if you press F5 (default hardware switcher button) one time if there is no applications running or twice if there are one or more running (first time will open switcher, second - launcher)
If Telescope launcher applet doesn't work you need to send report to Mitrandir in Telescope topic (you can find it with search tool).



Looking for other reports and wishes. Next step - maemo5 icons!

Hi.

Iīm using it since v0.6 and i updated yesterday.
In addition I installed Mitrandirīs compiled hildon-desktop and his applet-count package.

Well, what shall I say to this?
It works great! :)

I want to thank Kroll and Mitrandir for their great work.
Diablo 5 theme and Telescope make my N800 look great and much more functional!

By the way I can understand what Snoshrk means with Issue 1.
See attachment. :cool:

The 3rd part of the picture is what i made to it (see my desktop screenshot).

But I canīt confirm Issue 2.

And I have a question.
I first installed your theme and then Mitrandirīs patches.
Is this the right way?
Because I had to change the size of the status bar
( 7, 9 or 10 icons) manually by copying the png pictures
and theme.xml.
Or can i change it somewhere within an application?

Your next step (maemo 5 icons) sounds good. Iīm using Windows 7 icons in my system but it takes very long to edit all those *.desktop files.
:(

Iīm looking forward to your next version. :D

So long!

Markus

Hey! Thanks for report.

The easiest way is to change theme to Echo (or another one), remove Diablo5, reboot, make sure you have Mitrandir's patches installed, install Diablo5 (it will ask you how many applets do you want), chose it in themes menu and reboot.
You will not lost any data and it should take just about 8 minutes.

So what I want to ask you: What is Diablo 5 0.8 new icon for desktop menu in your attachment? You did it? I had the same idea, but I screwed up and decided to make this three-dots icon instead of blue bar. Your one looks definitely better than mine.

As I said a few posts ago
Quote:

* More than 7 statusbar applets supported (If you already have installed patched hildon-desktop)
So it means you should install patches before theme.
