Oh, and I have 3 columns in portrait mode now not 4.

I don't know, maybe it keeps some cache or something...

Almost same here
Icon size is same, and speed is ok, but 3 rows are here

Tried to restore from backup i made myself, and still same crap. Any help?

Ahhhh found a way to restore!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!

First, look at this post about a prog http://forum.meego.com/showpost.php?...0&postcount=50 It have this background change as option.

As last resort i'we downloaded clean backup, put zip into my phone, unziped and made full restore in that prog. Worked sweet!

Besides, i'we compared my backup and that one fith full folder-text compare. While textually files are identical, files have different bytesize, and different below HEX ehamination. Seems that some wierd encoding or tabulation bug.

Instructions:
1. Create your background image size of 480x854 in PNG format
2. Rename it to meegotouch-desktop-bg.png
3. Copy the resulting file to your smartphone in the Downloads folder
4. In the same folder Downloads unzip libmeegotouchviews-modified-default.css from the archive (http://www.mediafire.com/?b05rri3b3x20ris).
5. Open a terminal and type:

Code:

devel-su
rootme (the default password)
cp -f /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/meegotouch-desktop-bg.png /usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/images/backgrounds/
cp -f /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/libmeegotouchviews-modified-default.css /usr/share/themes/base/meegotouch/libmeegotouchhome/style/

6. Reboot

PS. For the subsequent change of the background, you need only change meegotouch-desktop-bg.png
But to return to the standard change libmeegotouchviews-modified-default.css to the original (http://www.mediafire.com/?yexu8a70ld534iu).

Hey! I've tried to follow these steps, but I have been unable to download developer mode. Any ideas? It keeps failing, saying they can't establish a connection to download the necessary 2.6mb. I've tried it with my home wifi, 3g internet, as well as other wifis, so I'm not sure what the issue is. I'm running pr 1.2. Hjalp?

can we simply rename a jpeg picture file to meegotouch-desktop-bg.png and use it with this tweak?

I've edited your CSS to use the same image in Portrait and Landscape and did one image only of 854x854px.

Here's my background made from a random wallpaper i found online.

how do you edit the css file to use the same picture in portrait and landscape??

do we need to rename the png format picture to "meegotouch-desktop-bg.png" or "meegotouch-desktop-bg"?
