put the png image you want to use in:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
and rename it 'startup_nokia_logo'
then reboot phone
make a backup of the original file from that location first
and keep it safe incase you ever want the original back
not sure why it still shows the old image when booting up, but this works for shutdown, hopefully someone can help with that
------------------------------------
CHANGE STATUS AREA BATTERY ICON COLOUR

just unzip the download from above and put the 8 png files into:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
and reboot phone.
there already renamed this time
but make a safe backup of the originals for yourself
before overwriting any of these files
----------------------------------------
CHANGE OFFLINE/ONLINE NOTIFICATION SOUNDS
when phone first loads and connects, or when switching to online mode, the phone plays a quiet beep sound,
i changed that to 'welcome - to the real world' (morpheous from the matrix)
and a new offline sound, plays when going offline, 'command functions are offline' (from star trek i think!)
just put the avi you want to use into:
/usr/share/hildon-welcome/media
and rename it 'Hands-v32-h264'
no need to mod the config file if you keep the original name
hey all, OK so ive done a few of these mods now. i have two questions.
1) How can a make a script and run it off desktop, however i need the script to execute xterm commands has i hate having to type them everytime my theme gets an update.
2) With profile, you know how you have silent and that gives you an icon in the status bar, how can i make it show an icon for general?
Firstly,
Thanks for these posts and icons/ pics etc.
Pardon my ignorence, how do you swap these, use a file manager like CuteExplorer ?
If you use Windows by far the best way is to install WinSCP and OpenSSH, you can then copy/amend/view all your files on your PC which makes things a million times easier.

Run scripts off the desktop using Desktop Command Execution or Queen BeeCon widgets
...He made the call notify app (which puts an icon in the status area), so he should be able to help you or give you an idea as to how to go about it. You might need a dedicated app for that tho!

Hi everyone, i was wondering if anyone can give me a step by step guide as to how to change my fonts and the media player widget and icons, and not just a put in here/there/hildon/up/down type thing but a more detailed explanation, or even script that i can put into xterminal.
im still new to this and i dont know commands and stuff and its driving me mad, i also want to change my conversations if anyone can help out there too that would be amazing!

thanking you in advance.
all you have to do is read... read a wiki or a thread of a specific project you want. like for example changing icons u have to read about ssh-ing like using winscp or filezilla. read how to install ssh server and how to connect to ur device. thats the fist thing u hve to learn bfre customzing you device. and if u cnnot get it or undrstand the basics of it, then maybe maybe n900 is not the device for you. or just leave it just the way it is...
n900 for me pimpd or not is still the most beautiful phone ever

OK you're going to need to follow the steps above and get WinSCP and OpenSSH up and running on your phone/PC, that is the most important thing.
There are tons of step by step guides on how to do it, I've linked to a few earlier in the thread (and above):
I can't recall in this thread or another. A guy posted some battery icons that changed in colour, red being low and green full. Is anyone able to make new icons for the signal indicator in a similar fashion. I really like the colour difference, makes it really simple to see and no idea how to make them myself.
Would be much appreciated.
