    im a bit lost there about the i's

    if let say i want 9 walls... do i have to to the cmd 9 times placing the i's from 1 to 9?

    thank for the help Q
    Just open Xterm on your n900.. type "sudo gainroot" then paste what I wrote down.. hit enter ... that's all you have to do..

    kind regards Qosmio

    (Edit) just ran it on mine... worked fine.

    Question. If i wanted to replicate a set of widgets exactly the same locations etc on every screen. Is there a set of configs I can simply copy/mod and achieve this.

    As a rule I like to have a clock and a few other standard things on every screen, but the process of making and dragging them to the exact same location (never an easy task) is wearing me down.

    I did accidently put 0.99 instead of 99 because I misunderdtood the multiplication description.

    I then corrected my string but I cannot see any changes to the kinetic scrolling... its still slow.

    Do I have to delete the firstly entered wrong string somehow, or why does it not work?

    And is there a way to view all the gconf strings in an editor or something?

    Greetz,

    To view the current value: "gconftool-2 -g /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/decel_rate"

    Anyway, you should try this.

    Me again...
    btw thx MaddogG for the inormation.
    I already had Mohammads modified version installed wich somehow killed my 5th desktop and prevented me even from reinstalling Matans version again. I needed to restore original nokia hildon-desktop for beeing able to reinstall Matans modified one again.
    So I got it fixed now and kinetic scrolling is fine, too

    I then tried the change backgrounds commands for having the 9 desktops with numbered background images. But when I now change desktop 5 to 9 backgrounds, the chosen wallpaper always is applied to desktop 1 and not to the one I started the change background setting from. (desktops 5 to 9)
    ^ nevernind, found the solution

    I didn't get that I need to change it from file manager in the first place. (I tried it from the desktop menu, wich appears when holding the stylus on desktop for a few seconds)


    :cheers:

    You probably don't have the correct hildon-home.
