btw.
I recommend using power search from right side of this forum.

additionally i recommend renaming ONLY ApplicationShortcutApplet.png because then you will see icon background as you tap icon.

I found this thread thanks - for a non techie a little more instruction is what I was seeking namely around the instruction commands in x term

bonerp | # 4 | 2010-02-22, 21:08 | Report

Is there a list of commands for use within x term ? I can't find it for the life of me. I'll suss out commands if noone wants to help.

Thought this was supposed to be a community ....

Please understand that someone provid hand held walk through every time one person wants something is quite labour intensive; better that you read some tutorials on linux, unix, command lines, terminals, shells, commands etc

However, here's a step by step:

Open X Terminal
type cd /usr/share/themes/ press return
type ls for a directory listing
decide which theme youre using (folder name) - alpha is the water splash, beta is the orange swirl, or maybe you have your own theme
type cd [FOLDER_THEME_NAME]/images/ replacing italics with relevant folder , press return
type mv ApplicationShortcutAppletPressed.png ApplicationShortcutAppletPressed.old to rename (move) the file
type mv ApplicationShortcutApplet.png ApplicationShortcutApplet.old to rename (move) the file

Suggest to write a mail to refunds@maemo.org to arrange a full refund of what you have paid for the support thus far

Thanks - maybe its time a central repository of this kinda coding could be appropriately dropped into for future reference? A lot of time spent endlessly searching wouldn't be necessary. Maybe some masterclasses?? For example putting some explanation around the coding.

I'm not sure who actually 'owns' maemo but certainly for myself and others (from having seen various threads running a similar 'help' theme) it would be a major benefit and might bring more to the N900 / maemo (Meego) world.

However sadly suggestions within this forum seem to fall on deaf ears - MODS?! There have been a lot of suggestions that would have structured the forum a little better and help inexperienced users who don't really have an interest in coding like myself get more from it.

To be honest I'd have been quite happy looking through some tutorials but I couldn't find where they were located. However thanks for your guidance. I really do appreciate it and others who provide their experience and knowledge.
