I just updated it from 21.2011.38-1maemo1.2 version to 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo2.1 version and now it works =)

Hope this is the right place ... I recently discovered Theme Customizer and wanted to adjust app shortcut size, but the option is grayed out. According to the author of Theme Customizer this function is not supported by CSSU hildon-desktop (posting).
Could it be implemented in the future? I'd love to have smaller app shortcuts to get more apps on one desktop!

There is an issue i searched for in this thread but haven't found an answer for:

Is it possible to set a wallpaper for a desktop to change when the device rotates?

i tried setting a wallpaper while in landscape mode, then rotated to portrait and set another wallpaper and expected that the images will switch with the device's change of orientation.

Is this behavior supported?

Install the Version 66 of theme customizer and you will be able to change it.

The CSSU (testing flavor) has the portrait wallpaper option. But it is disable by default.

You need to install a gconf editor. After that, you can enable the portrait desktop with the following command:

You do go to portrait mode and then change the wallpaper right?

Be in portrait. Press the screen so you can press desktop menu (or what it´s called in English) Then you should press change background and from there change wallpaper. Not from the image viewer.
