Uploading 2.209 to devel atm.

Thanks - just upgraded and rebooted and my custom backgrounds remained intact. Great work!

I've done some thinking and I have a feeling OptiPNG is aggressivly reducing the bit depth or color palette on these simple one-color images, and probably N900 can't handle a 1-bit PNG file (just like it cannot handle a GIF file that's larger than the screen size... probably no-one thought to test that).

In many cases this reduction results in big savings, for example if a file is saved as RGBA but alpha channel is not used at all, simply by converting to RGB it will reduce 25% of the data in the file that's not needed anyway. But if we think it is causing trouble, you can try experimenting with adding these options to the OptiPNG command line and maybe one of them will fix this problem and still allow you to optimize those files:

Code:

-nb                 no bit depth reduction
-nc                 no color type reduction
-np                 no palette reduction
-nx                 no reductions

@d-iivil

is there a change in transitions on pleego scheme? or there's just something wrong with my n900 menu UI?

EDIT: i have catorise installed

Is there going to be a day in the week where this theme isn't going to be updated?

Man, this theme seems to make maemo run faster for some reason. Everything from transition animations to scrolling seems to be WAY smoother.

Pleego uses same transitions.ini as other schemes, so no change there. What kind of problems you're suffering?

oh.....coz the transitions are set to the default one even though i select "use CUSTOM transitions" on the plastic theme settings

good thing is i have saved the .ini file from the theme on MyDocs so i just cp it to the themedir.

i also tried rebooting but same, the transitions are like from the default.

maybe i'll try de-install and reinstall the theme, coz the latest update may cause me the issue, i just downloaded the .deb file to MyDocs and open it via app manager to update.

I've noticed the same -pleego theme has 'slow' default N900 transitions.

Now that's weird... and custom transitions works with other schemes?

Can you guys paste me the output of this in xterm when you have custom transitions enabled and Pleego as scheme:
ls -l /usr/share/themes/blackplastictheme-themedir
