I decided to not reinvent the wheel and just modify GPM to use Hildon Desktop Status Area instead of FreeDesktop Notification Area. So, we will have full-blown GNOME power management in Cordia.

OMG MAGIC MULTITOUCH!!!

I've actually long wondered how it would be to use two mice as input for gaming and whatnot. Could be interesting

Are there any videos of people with Cordia running on their N900's??

I'd love to see this as well... Cordia running on the N900 DE of MeeGo. I Can't Believe It's Not Maemo

Looking great, although IMO, I don't particularly like Marina's over-shiny gradients. (still loving hildon-theme-alpha, although I guess that's (c) Nokia.)
smoku, if you need someone to work on image resources for the themes, PM me.

+1
I am still using default theme on my N900.
If you scroll a few pages back, you will find that we were already discussing the theme, but didn't end up in any conclusion.

But since I'm thinking about moving to GTK+ 3 (all the touch optimizations and hildon features porting end up in 3 branch) these themes may be rendered obsolete and we may need to create a theme for GTK+ 3 from scratch.

I hope that new GDK backend and Cairo rendering would make the fixed bitmap Sapwood engine unneded. But if performance of default GTK+ 3 engine is too low, we may need to rehash Sapwood.

Only testing will tell.

@smoku

Just to make sure you know!

This is IMPORTANT!

The instructions are WRONG! They have the wrong URL.

The command on your website says this:

Code:

zypper ar http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/smoku:/cordia/MeeGo_current_Core_standard/home:smoku:maego.repo

When the actual URL is this:

Code:

zypper ar http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/smoku:/cordia/MeeGo_current_Core/home:smoku:cordia.repo

Just some feedback on the installation of Cordia.

I have the latest MeeGo N900 DE Build.

I have added the repo and updated the repo on my N900.

When trying to install hildon-desktop and hildon-theme-marina I get the following error message

Code:

zypper install hildon-desktop hildon-theme-marina
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'hildon-desktop' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'hildon-desktop' found.
'hildon-theme-marina' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'hildon-theme-marina' found.
Resolving package dependancies...

Nothing to do.

Could you please help me overcome this, I really want to get this running so I can make a lil youtube video demonstrating Cordia on the N900 itself

This'll be interesting.
In a few months, I can see N900's OS community split in 3(probably even 4!):
>Maemo 5/CSSU
>MeeGo DE for N900
>Third:

Meego+Cordia
And lastly, Maemo 6 HE (probably, depends on "If Nokia feels like it")

Oh right. Thanks for pointing out.
Fixed.
