Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

well, programming is not really easy task, especially if developer is not restricted to one platform + nobody gives any care for dev who codes directly for end users.
theres costs: time (reading, thinking, writing, testing, rewriting, fixing, testing...), hardware (doesn't matter what segment you're working with, you must have hardware to test on), software (usually IDE's, SDK's, API's....are not free...even not case with harmattan/meego, but to get knowledge about programming, one had to use commercial tools before)...
it's work just as any other and, indeed, as thedead said, it's enthusiastic to code on such platforms as harmattan if developer is not related to some higher source of incomes...
so, best way to support this enthusiasm is to give good feedback give ideas and such.
at least "thank you"...but that's too hard for some...and that's only reason why devs are not commonly seen in communities...+ why there's no many devs at all...

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

Since Vesuri hasn't started a thread yet, I think its better to inform people here that In Car Home Screen has been released to the Store already ;)

Direct link for whom search can't find it: http://store.ovi.com/content/311076

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

Thank you ! Downloaded, installed and tested :)
I have a one request for this app... Vesuri, please, can you add automatic blanking OFF when this app starts ? Or at least add this to the setting of this app ?

For those who want to change Drive app to Waze, just run this command as ROOT:
If you want to restore to default, run this command as ROOT:
;)

P.S. It will be added to Tweak G in the next version..

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

I'll put up a new thread for In Car Home Screen so let's not discuss it further here. However, since there are instructions I'd like to correct here, here goes:

It doesn't make much sense to modify the .desktop files of applications since each application should have its own .desktop file and new ones can be created by the user if needed. If the point here is to modify the configuration of In Car Home Screen, either wait for a future version with a configuration UI in it OR just run the following command in the Terminal (as a normal user), assuming that the Waze application's .desktop file is called waze.desktop:

To reset back to Drive, use

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

Or Gconfik can be used to modify /apps/meegotouchhome-incar/launcher/0/desktop_entry_path to the desired value for those who want a GUI instead while awaiting Vesuri to put it into one of the next versions :D

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

Thanks to both of you ! :)

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

Here is something that I think could be added to HSS
Nebula effect:
http://www.professorcloud.com/mainsi...vas-nebula.htm


Starfield v2:
http://www.chiptune.com/starfield/starfield.html

here the view is set according to left-center-right, it would be awesome for homescreen to show left view on event, center on launcher and right-view for switcher. I think HSS has this already but it just switch back to center-view after the transition.

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

Any news on what features will be in the next update Vesuri?

Is it possible to have the battery percentage next to the battery icon? I know there are other mods out there that do this but they seem to be a bit buggy, and this app has probably been the most polished I've experienced on the N9.

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

@Vesuri,
Any plan to merge HSS and Unlock the rotation of most stock applications ?

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

At least a fix to "custom operator name" with certain languages (Chinese, for example) and fixes to some translations.

No, it isn't. That'd have to be hacked into system-ui.

Thanks :). That's mostly because it doesn't touch things that shouldn't be touched. Doing things like "unrestricted system-ui" is certainly possible, but that's about modifying and replacing system components entirely. It allows "anything" to be done but comes with the cost of needing the developers to maintain consistency and quality.

No. It's a modification to libmeegotouch and requires replacing a system component completely, just like "unrestricted system-ui".

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

Thanks for the reply. Didn't think you could put the percentage in the status bar, it was just hopeful thinking since you were able to change the operator name.

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

where can i find the changelog ? Today i got an update to 2.0.2 :)

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

Same here!

Later,
Chinoman10.

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

open nokiastore :D see changelog :eek:

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/background/livewallpaper)
 

Is this fixed already? I noticed the icon text/names will remain visible when turning just after reboot, but as soon as you turn in the "Open Applications" or feeds screen, they'll disapear while turning again :(

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/background/livewallpaper)
 

Home Screen Settings still cannot fix home screen bugs, as I explained in post #30:

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

Once there was an application available where you could change swipe functionality. For example; Swipe left - App mgr, Swipe Right - Event Screen etc.
In my mind this was the Home Screen Settings app where you could do this. Question; Has this functionality been removed due to OS upgrades or am I thinking about another app? Is this still possible to achive with PR1.3?

Thanks

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

The app you are referring to is Swipe Manager and NOT HSS...

IIRC it stopped working with pr1.3...However I may be wrong...Check it out from the Store...

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

That's the name, thank you! I will need to check. I really miss to be able to configure that.

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

In need of a setting to lockscreen wallpaper...

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

:confused: cant you simply change that from settings->wallpaper

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

But will it be full? Like portrait and landscape

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

I tried now, it didnt work.. :/
Im using Quick Tweak to do this but it would be great if this app did it too :)

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

Could you explain what exactly are you looking for?

Setting the lock screen background image is standard Harmattan operating system functionality. It definitely does work. There is no need to have the same setting in an another application. (Also, "Home Screen Settings" is not "Lock Screen Settings".)

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

I mean doing the Lockscreen landscape background.
It can be achieved by QuickTweak.

Like, having one image, then rotate and see the rest of the image instead of black.

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

Indeed. That requires modifications to Harmattan operating system files, which is something applications should not do for various reasons. Those willing to make (potentially dangerous) modifications to their system are of course free to do so and for that purpose QuickTweak is probably a suitable tool, but users of such modifications need to be aware of the risks and consequences.

So, in short: The lock screen is not a part of the home screen and by that reason alone is beyond the scope of Home Screen Settings. Also, this requires modifications to system files, which is not allowed in Store applications (and is also something a "consumer" application should not do).

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

Got it :D
Thanks, i will use both then :)
One for each function.

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

Hi Vesuri!
could it be possible to implement extra colorschemes to the sine background? Im thinking of something to choose the fore and background colors in the settings screen, this way everyone can set their own color to it :) Thanks!

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

These can be changed by editing gconf keys. If you install gconfik, it will provide you a GUI to view and edit these keys. All aspects of the sine colour scheme can be modded

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

could it be possible to import or add more live wallpapers from android or another source?
What files are livewallpapers or howto create new livewallpapers?
could it be possible to have gingerbread live wallpaper?

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

Hey, I'm using the home screen settings app on my N9 and also using 3 different wallpaper on N9. I applied the starfield live wallpaper but it only appears on the feed home screen, not on the apps and multitasking home screen :/

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

You mean you are using the 3 different wallpapers tweak from N9QTweak? If so, you can't mix these two...Its a recipe for trouble ;)

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

hi! some of you has some problem with the alarm?

i have notice that : if image background is set alarm doesent work, but if blur radius is set to 0 and brightness is set to 100% alarm works fine.



in this thread we talk abut alarm Behaviour http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86814&page=2

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

Hi, I have a request in the next update. Can you please add an option to auto-rotate the standby screen too (the clock and whatever on the standby screen)?Or if anyone knows how to do it manually, please advice. Thank you very much.

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

@Vesuri

I sent PM about feature request. Let me know what you think please. Take care.

Re: Home screen settings (orientation/ background/ livewallpaper)
 

There is no way these settings can affect the alarm. What you're seeing is purely a coincidence. Home Screen Settings does not affect the alarm in any way.

Sorry, no. This was explained in post #185.

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten your feature request or the project in general. There has been a lot going on lately personally and professionally so my spare time has been extremely limited. I'm hoping to have some more free time in the future.
