Yep. Windows on Mac on Linux is crazy. :D

Windows on Mac on Linux on an ARM processor is beyond crazy; it's whatever's on the other side of crazy.

But, wow. Very cool.

Still waiting to see some performance numbers for MS Office under DosBox and Win 3.11 or Win 95 :D

Unfortunately, you may be waiting awhile. :p

Tried Bochs for even slower performance? :p

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Yes. I compiled it for Chinook around two or three weeks ago and am still waiting for it to boot Windows. :p (When I finally got to the Windows 95 desktop using Bochs, the slowness was unbearable.)

Windows 9x on DOSbox isn't that slow, it's just Windows has errors when I try to install anything. And like Windows 3.x on DOSbox, the mouse is "sticky" and way off from where the stylus touches the screen.

Meanwhile, Basilisk II is gratifyingly fast, stable, and almost bug-free. Xkbd and Xvkbd just weren't perfect on OS 2008, but using Automatic Screen Rotate and the Matchbox-keyboard on a N800 works great.

Heh, I should retry running Mac OS X on Maemo (using PearPC) again. Ah ... if I could wait 2 days without using my NIT. :D

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

people seems to be in love with nuvoclear by the looks of it.

while the desktop itself looks nice with it, i cant stand the menu colors and other elements. also, i spotted a onscreen keyboard that had black keys on a white background, anyone know what kind of skin has that?

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Actually, I'm not a fan of the other elements too much either. It's nice to look at at first, but then there's just so much grey, it gets annoying. I'm thinking about making a new theme all together, from the ground up.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

installed personal menu the other day. i must say that i absolutely love it. these are the applications i use the most.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

This is what Ichiro seems to be doing a lot of lately :( - watching homers go right over the fence :mad:

M'eh.

After putting PlayThing aside for a while (no time, never did figure out if ThemeMaker repackaging can be done after initial session, etc.), I came back to play again (and it's raining - blah).

Mostly to try to remember how the heck to replace the task navigator icons :rolleyes:

The radio applet's discretely buried in the yellow fence padding and the internet search applet at least mimics the yellow line (and it gives Ichiro something else to stare at besides high-flying balls).

Unfortunately, the 48x48 pixel size for the icons really limit how big the fonts can be. These are supposedly 10pt. Sure don't look 10pt to me on the screen :confused:

As you'll see from the weather applet, tomorrow should be sucky wet. Perhaps I'll putz around with trying to repackage a theme by working around ThemeMaker (suggestion and script kindly provided by a very smart forum member)... .

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

I am a big fan of the transparent themes... is there a way to remove the redundant "Home" label from the theme?

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

I'm not sure removing the home label is possible. I think that if it was removed, application titles would be removed as well from the way things are configured.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Dang, I was afraid of that...
It's a shame there isn't a display option coded into a configuration file somewhere.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

I'll take a look for you. The home is actually a program, as I found out when I experimented by making it minimise.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Yeah, if you look in the ~/.osso/hildon-dekstop/desktop.conf you'll see "Home" grouped with the statusbar panel and hildon navigator. (Messing around with this file is also what gave me a reflash today :P)

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

I wish there was a "sorry" button I could push over here. :)

Thanks for the effort, BTW.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Ohhhh, nononono. I was messing around with that anyways :D, trying to move the panels around. Definitely not your fault dude. I should've phrased that differently, didn't mean to make it sound like I was blaming you.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Yo!Dude! :p :)

I found a v.simple way of removing home label.

Just run vi /usr/share/themes/$DEFAULTMBTHEME/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

(Defaultmbtheme (mb = matchbox) is a variable pointing to your currently set theme)

Change:
style "osso-TitleFont" {
font_name = "Nokia Sans 16.75"
}

to:

style "osso-TitleFont" {
font_name = "Nokia Sans 0"
}

Change theme and change back :)

The menu icon could be removed by taking the right image out but it will remove it for all windows. I'll seeif I can recompile hildon-desktop.

Your apps will still show the title, just not the desktop.
The bit that displays the desktop is called hildon-desktop which is configured by the gtkrc file. Other windows are managed by matchbox, which uses the theme.xml.
Because the desktop is separate and uses a different file, it can be done independently of each other.

Here is my proof,with screenies :p. (look at times)

Edit; Benson has provided a sed line here:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...&postcount=506

Haven't tested it but it should work in theory.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Wow! ^this works on the echo theme (default) but when I go to /usr/share/themes/nuvoclear/gtk-2.0/gtkrc in Emelfm2 and hit edit, Emel crashes and Xterm reports "segment fault".???

Thanks BTW, this opens up a whole world of themes configured by hand. :)

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

YoDude --

Did you, by chance, have nuvoclear as your current theme at the time? If so, try the edit after (temporarily) switching to a different theme.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

I don't have nuvoclear installed (it's todo :)) but I think it seems more like a editor problem. If you can use vi (i know only the basics), try that or use my favourite, leafpad. I'll grab the nuvoclear to try it out.

Np :). i'm gonna try moving the close and minimise buttons to the left for fun :D. It's how I actually changed my font systemwide.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

You're probably using nuvoClear at the moment; try switching to a different theme, edit, and switch back?

If this is the problem, then YOU, not the shell, must expand $DEFAULTMBTHEME...

Wouldn't that be Not sufficiently general, of course; it ought to match anything interpretable by GTK+, and I'm not sure what GTK+ uses to parse this, and specifically what whitespace and doublequoting is mandatory, but it should work.

Edit: Ha, beaten. :(

BTW, I'm now rockin' this on mine with nuvoClear; it's sweet for portrait, but I'm missing the menu button, too... Not that having a ninja menu bothers me, it's just odd that I don't have it on home, and do on app windows. Now that that's gone, all we need is the ability to extend the statusbar... why, oh why, is this not configurable?

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Ok, briand may be right. You are editing a gtk file with a program using gtk :p

I did it with vi:

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

you are not the first person to think, utter, or type these words. ;)

seriously -- glad to have helped.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Yup, did that. The default theme was able to be edited using Emel however, the nuvoclear file seems much larger so it may in fact be a limitation of Emelfm...

I'll copy the file out, edit it with notepad or sutt'n', then copy over the existing one and see what happens. :)

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Just run this as root:
Saves all the headaches of file transfer and UNIX/DOS conversions.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Well, if you're using the latest nuvoclear, which is called "NuvoClear2", you might want to add the "2" at the end. :) Guess I should have kept the old name but nuvoclear2 just had alot of significant changes. Also, I just found out that it is CaSe SeNsItIvE. <-- That's almost certainly the problem, since it worked for me with the caps.

Edit - To Benson ~
This file here "~/.osso/hildon-dekstop/desktop.conf" seems to control the size of the statusbar, as well as the navigator, sidebar on the left. I was actually able to make the side bar smaller. I just dunno if I could edit the icons smaller, if that would mess it up? I also moved the statusbar to the left side next to the task manager, but their were some display issues. Eventually I messed the file up to much by changing the "type" value on the statusbar and I got a reboot loop and had to reflash. D: So if you DO decide to mess around, BE CAREFUL and backup :).

Edit-edit - to benson, qwerty ~ that little menu image is part of the theme images. You can go into the images foler of the particular theme and edit it out. Both are separate for home and titlebar views :)

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Yeah, I knew that. I just was lazy in my post...
With Emel I am looking right at the file and selecting for editing so case sensitivity or spelling are not the issue.

BTW, I am using the first version of NuvoClear because I like how the analog clock panel is transparent.

I'm pretty sure the method I outlined earlier will work when I get to it and I will keep this thread updated... besides I want to look at the whole file in a large screen editor in order to try some other things. :p

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Well, I had played around with that at one point, trying to kill the contacts icon in the navigator & expand the task area to 4 icons.
Failure, because it's hard-coded.
I expect the same here, but I haven't actually tried anything with the statusbar.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Darn D: It'd be nice to be configurable. The layout sort of bothers me. I'd rather have the task icons and status in the same place and make the matchbox titlebar smaller.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Well, here's something cool, anyway... Though I'd rather not waste that much space just to fit extra taskbar applets...

Edit: Anyone know what happens with more than 13 applets? I only have 13 installed ATM, including location (and my GPS is out in the car)... have to try it sometime.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

but... but... the tablet's vertical space is even more cramped than its horizontal space! Two bars across the top feels positively claustrophobic! I always move my menu bars, tool bars, etc. to the sides when I'm using a non-hildon WM on the tablet.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

If anyone is c whizzzes, in scratchbox run:
apt-get source hildon-desktop matchbox-window-manager and hard code the limit to a better one ;p

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Useless, currently:

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Of course. But it's interesting anyway, I thought. Oh well, if you don't like that:

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

There ya go... :)
BTW, I was able to edit the file outside the Emelfm's environment and just copy over the old one in a latter session.

I got rid of home in NuvoClear and also cleaned up the font size issues that crops up in the Nuvo themes by comparing (and editing to match) the default theme.

Also BTW: What, no "Red neck, white sox, and Blue Ribbon beer." in your playlist? :D
