I reinstalled hildon-desktop, purged modified-hildon-desktop, done autoremove, reboot, install modified- and now I cannot even create more destops. As I have to study now (university exams), I decided to return to the original hildon desktop ... Ill try to configure it later ... Thanks a lot anyway! :)

Notes:

With this version you can select which views to enable from the GUI. The dialog which shows 4 screens is horizontally scrollable.

Running the commands (as user)
Code:
cd /home/user/.backgrounds/
rm cache.info
cp background-1.png background-5.png
cp background-1.png background-6.png
cp background-1.png background-7.png
cp background-1.png background-8.png
cp background-1.png background-9.png
should allow for selecting background from the GUI, without the black screen problems.
hi, for some reason, after downloaded the DEB file from that link, i cant install it. the installation failed.

has this happened to anyone? do i download it by viewing that link with a n900? or do i download it onto the pc, then transfer it into n900?

thanks

You need to download the file http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n90...+0m5_armel.deb to your device, and install it by running, as root:
Code:
dpkg -i hildon-home_0.3.66-2+0m5_armel.deb
killall hildon-home
If you only have four desktops in "manage views" dialog box, then you did not do this properly.

Am I right to suspect the cp commands is just duplicating background 1 to background 5 and so on?

OK, me again ... :)

I was using wrong file too ... but now, I have up to 9 available desktops in the manage views screen, but when I enable some more than 4, I can still cycle only through those original four ... even after restart ...

This sounds like not having modified-hildon-desktop installed.

hildon-home is responsible for drawing the different views (background, widgets, etc.) and hildon-desktop is responsible for switching between them. Therefore, you need both of them changed for 9 views.

It does, but only for the purpose of having something to show there. You can later select another background image. When you select a background image, hildon overwrites those files.

Working, finally!!! Thank you very much, Im a mess ... I believed the file available for download contains both of them and didnt even looked at the filename. After that, I was unable to set the backgrounds, but eventually, I managed to make it run fine.

Thank you again!!!!!
