Or you could just use the Okuda Theme background.

Yes well because for some reason I often use gasballs as desktop design so at least the black one is perfect for me.

I am using a black background too, just because the desktops have black spaces between them when scrolling, so a black desktop hides them.

I noticed a fix was mentioned earlier in the thread, has this made it into a .deb? (I installed the one in the first post just today).

I'm fiddeling with some kind of wallpaper which works in either portrait or landscape mode.

That picture should loop on all 4 directions, but when swiping desktops in portrait mode, there's always a black rectangle between views in portrait mode....

~~can this be changed with a slight change of code ?~~

My God, Amazing work man! Officially the best thing I could ever want in my N900 and it works so flawlessly imo!

Just install the deb from the first page. Looks like it is from 18th. Coded in the deb name. Now I don't see the black lines between desktops anymore.

Good work.

yep! I can confirm this.

Thank you arcean.

...I'm going to create some more complex Wallpaper.

//EDIT:
shouldn't...

Code:

echo "Package: hildon-desktop
Pin: release a=unstable 
Pin-Priority: 1001" >> /etc/apt/preferences

prevent this hd to get overwritten by an apt-get upgrade?

Thanks for this i have been looking for something like since i got my phone! I have a request though is there any chance we can have option to select if user wants vertical or horizontal scrolling on the desktop as i would rather prefer vertical scroll! Also a portrait lock which would lock the phone in portrait unless the keyboard is opened then the ui goes into landscape keyboard closed again ui goes back into portrait similar to the lock applet for landscape! Also someway to set wallpaper the right way up in portrait mode as at the moment the wallpaper gets messed up and loaded just in landscape like blown up but in landscape zoomed in version! This are some of tug ideas which i think i require i.m pretty sure alot of other users might want these too! So please could you do this for us?! Thanks in advance!

I can't find where to change the desktops size when it's in portrait mode.

Check the attachment

Hiya if you have successfully made the vertical scrolling enabled and up and running is there any way you could please made it available for other users to download as including me many others would like this please!
