Wonder what that Theme Catcher program does.. Shouldnt themes just work, if you download them to N800..

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

LOL - people might get more hits if you search for hildon theme cacher (not caTcher)

tee hee

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

it caches some of the images so that applications etc. start up faster because the theme images are already loaded
something like that I believe :)

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

thx Adam. How did you resize the Canola applet?

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

You click on "home" in the top toolbar and then select "Edit Layout" from the drop down menu. Then you should see the green border around the widgets and then a little triangular window resizer which you just move around to resize then once you accept tthe new layout it should save.

Note: If the border turns red, this means that one widget is overlapping another and so you need to resize them in a way that they all fit. I would prefer the widgets to slide out from the side of the window instead of covering the whole page all the time, but I guess Nokia wanted to go for something different and unique from all the other PDA type devices.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

which version of Canola do you have? In mine, I don't get the resize corner :(

Thought I make a wallpaper of my own. I had my gf pose on top of the clock and canola applet here. :)

Quite simple, but where I live/lived in 1883! Taken from an OSGB 1883 6" to 1 Mile map MapCrunched and cut up into tiles for use on MaemoMapper.

Note the accuracy with a new gps track!

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

I saw there ws a new version of LCARS PADD which had been updated for the N800. so I had to try it :)

This is LCARS Bridge 12pt

I really like it. Love the custom icons in the status bar

but can not use it full time due to some apps using a hard coded black text colour which is impossible to read against a black background. (Why do programmers use hard coded colours rather than system colours?!?!?) The main bad app is the RSS Feed reader :(

I got it from here: http://synthesize.us/LCARS_PADD?title=LCARS_PADD
Read the Release notes first :)

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

I was just going to ask if someone has tryed Star Trek theme with N800.. :)

Looks great.. :)

Does it also show Wi-fi strength at top bar? Or nly what type connection you have?

What is that application bar at down ?

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

I liked the LCARS theme. it looked cool and was fun to use on the home page. It is unfortunate that some apps are unusable due to the black background as they have hard coded balck text :(

There is no wi-fi strength. The red/dark red/white bars at the top are the battery charging. A nice animation.

The application bar at the bottom is Simple Launcher. Also looks cool in the LCARS theme :)

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Hey man, beautiful~ work on those dark themes, i love em! Not so great for sunlight use of course, but sunlight is bad for you anyway.

Looking at the package contents, that's a lot of work you did! goog job. I prefer less saturated colors. Will try to find a script that can recursively change saturation on those pngs... or do you have something to do that? Imagemagick?

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

what is the name of that application for weather?

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Other Maemo Weather

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

thank you.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Terve Mika,

I use the weather program all the time and it seems to work as advertised. It updates as well. I am here in Helsinki (Hermanni) and I get the daily updates. It is a pretty good piece of work. Kudos to the author.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

:cool: For some reason I just keep on picking up my N800 to do something new.
It's probably because it is the best toy I have ever owned.
Pretty easy on the eyes too.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Cool. What theme is that? Where can I get it (the theme, not the background)?

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Nice photo. :)

Make sure you get some good repositories loaded up so you can download some really nice apps. Makes the N800 experience a bit more enjoyable.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

the theme is Danjon - it comes with the N800

Theme question
 

Where can I get the default theme for 770 hacker version? I want to use it with the official 770 -49 firmware.

Bill

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Yes, the n800 can ALMOST make lab reports fun! :)

I took a picture with the camera, loaded it as the background in Xournal, and proceeded to record my data in easy to read color. This totally beat using a single pen color on old fashioned graph paper.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Oh. Wonder if it will work on my 770 and where I can get it...

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Thanks ArnimS, glad you like the themes. I used the GIMP to fool around with the colors a bit. Haven't done much theme work lately, working on some Flash experiments for the tablets at the moment. :)

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Pretty basic setup, but I prefer it that way :)

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Sure pretty basic but it would have been nice to explain how you got this result.

It seems you are using "idea" as appication launcher but how did you get rid off the left side bar ?

Answer welcome.

Regards

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Sorry, left the details out :) I am running latest OS2006 on my 770. Theme is sgc.white (by =DC=) and background is from deviantart.com. The launcher is Idea, with one icon per row, x-small labels and 32px icons. Statusbar applet is panelclock from maemo.org (I also have the CPU load / screenshot applet). I removed everything else from the home page.

However, I have no idea what side bar you're talking about..! Maybe the theme removed it..?

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Simple and clean. Good work making your layout look so elegant. :)

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Hi All,
I just created a wiki page about using the n800 themes on the 770.
Please excuse the mess, I'm new to the wiki.

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

hey tabster, very neat desktop! what app are you using to create those large icons on your desktop? and what resolution are you using for those background bmp's?

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

Very nice. As you seem to have cracked the IDEA! nut that has thus far eluded me, can you tell me where to find the program icons for IDEA!. I'm having a hell of a time trying to configure the app. I've watched the instruction video, but I still have a lot of questions. For example, how do you delete an app. icon. The video shows how to add another icon but it doesn't show how to delete an icon and its associated app.
I do not want Xterm icon on my desktop. Do I have to change the Xterm icon and then change the app. associated with it? How? The video shows an icon folder on the MMC, but, I don't know where to get that folder.

thanks for any guidance you might offer,
Neil

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

gee! and I thought I did such a good job explaining what applets and status bar apps I was using...

The icons on the desktop are made with the IDEA home plugin

see https://garage.maemo.org/projects/idea/

I believe the dev is rewriting it to make it much easier to configure. right now it is not so easy...

Re: Show off your screenshots
 

the developer is rewriting the configuration I believe. But for now, this is what I did:

• First I used pencil and paper to write down what apps I wanted on a home page launcher
• In the IDEA configuration I set it to the Total Icons to how many I wanted.
• Also on the Icon Setting tab, I wrote the name of each app I wanted in the order I wanted them. Ignoring the icons shown and overwriting the existing labels
• Then pressed Apply button
• Then I went to the App Setting tab and pressed Refresh (this then showed my labels from the icon tab)
• For each row, I double-tapped it and selected the application to match my label.
• ALSO, this is where you check the "Use default icon" checkbox so that it uses the default icon for the app.

use labels, table settings and icon sizes to taste http://maxthon.cafedeux.com/smilies/smile.gif

Hopefully this helps.

There is no way currently to rearrange the icons or to delete one from the beginning or middle. If you want to make a change then you might have to go through all these steps again.

good luck.
