Thanks alot

I've been struggling with QBW for a while, can't really wrap my head around it. (im slow)
The script part is easy, but when it comes to changing the images/icons i get stuck. always ends up as a rectangular grey bar. :|
I'll read some more on that tomorrow i guess.

Just put the image you want (.png) in the queen_beecon_dir in .images in MyDocs, and then in the QBW settings you put the file name in the 'command title settings' bar. So if you want a battery icon and you call the file battery, just put 'battery.png' in that line.
Then all the other lines remove any existing text. So when you open it you'll have 'hide background' etc and under that are 5 white boxes, clear the text from those.
Under that is command title settings, put the .png name in there (the 'scale' is what you use to determine the icon size on the desktop, play around with it and use the height/width meters at the top to get it all together) command results settings leave blank for this type of stuff.
Under that is 'press and progress animation FX' click 'disabled' in the Frames tab. And update policies underneath is similar to the CMD widget, just say 'yes' on the ones you want it to update with.

I don't know why you colored that "screenshot" word since it clearly was a screenshot. But oh well, here's another one so maybe you'll be satisfied now:

It's just the maemo.org theme, I only modified the icons to match the orange-grey coloring. Simple yet elegant.

Because all files under /usr are owned by root, not user. You need to log in as root from WinSCP, or copy files to /home/user and then move the files to correct location as root in terminal.

There is no short answer, but essentially it is by applying themes and modifying images and icons.

The truly epic Maemo 5 Mods thread.
I realise it is a huge thread, but there are some gems of information in there.

It would be a good idea to save that general_images icon somewhere as it is likely to be altered and you might not like the next version and it could get changed in a theme update.

I'm not happy with the background colour of that icon, and I'm tweaking some of my other icons as well.

first you must to change the root pasword, use in x terminal

sudo gainroot
passwd user and set a new password for root, diferent that you use to login in winscp (went you type the pasword can not see the letters you write)
retype the password and you get it changed, after that in winscp in the part of loggin write root and in password your new password for root. and that is all.

i did it whit putty, but i think so is same from xterminal, just try it

I wish we have more thanks option for this..
Worked Charm...
Alright if someone else is checking on this.. In a more clear way..

In WinSCP when logging in again,
Host name: IPAddress assigned to N900 on the same subnet as PC
Username: root
Password: ***** the one new password we typed in X Term to change it..
