Thanks, will keep those suggestions in mind :)

You can at least get few new icon themes by installing these packages: Plastic Theme Pack, Plastic Addon Pack 2, Humanity Theme.

would it be possible to make a setting to choose a backround image that you want to use in every screen. like in the backround for the clock and app managers and so on?

AlMehdi 2010-09-26 21:19

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 
transitions schemas should be good feature to have in it. But i guess you already thought of that ;)

Yeah great idea. And lock screen and each calendar month and media player.

This is awesome D-livil. I just installed it and works great.

Something I noticed, when I try changing font color using the color picker, the color picker does not show me shades of yellow or orange. It feels like the gradient box is being clipped and not fully displayed. Is this something you are aware of and intentional as of now (maybe to make the color picker fit in the popup)?

Kudos to your work!
Akash.

Akash.

I'm aware of that, but it's not intentional. It's bug in Qt which hopefully will be fixed in Qt 4.7.

I guess it would be pretty easy to implement function that would let user to choose one image and it would be used everywhere. But having different option for every image would fill the UI badly :D

I am not sure.. just something that came to my mind. I have not played with Transitions myself but think it is possible to have different kinds of transitions. So maybe have some options to use custom transitions? Like a fast, a fancy, a zoomy e.t.c... ;)

i was talking about just to set one picture to all backrounds, not to set different to everyone :)

Does it require custom hildon-home?

And the original is backed up during installation and restored during uninstall.

New version uploaded, it has the font importer tool (tap top menu) and couple new colors to tune.

Heh, well thank you for the nice hildon-home which allows to change the icon sizes etc :)

Next task is to make the program translateable...

d-iivil 2010-09-27 12:28

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 
And uploaded 0.6-1 rightaway since I forgot to include couple of updated files...

Could you add the option to change the transitions or just replace the theme transition by your transitions from the Black Plastic theme?

Sure, I could ship the same transitions.ini that I use with Plastic Themes and add option to choose to use it or not :)

Once again another F$£*&*G awesome package, love your work.

I have a slight problem though.

All functions work correctly except for the shortcut resize option?

Text colours will change and Web shortcut sizes will alter?

I have been using the command line version as per the original concept and can get the icons to resize via

Code:

Mount -o bind /usr/bin/hildon-home.launch1 /usr/bin/hildon-home.launch
gconftool - s /apps/osso/hildon-home/task-shortcuts-size -t int 55
dsmetool -k /usr/bin/hildon-home
dsmetool -k /usr/bin/hildon-home

Any ideas?

It was little like this i was thinking.. but with two three more options or an ability to import your own. But that is maybe in a later edition ;)

Could you have locked the original hildon-home? What does your /etc/apt/preferences file say?

I guess you had the mounting going on while installing this package? Do this:
reboot your device
uninstall theme customizer
install theme customizer
reboot your phone
launch the customizer and see if your icons will now resize :)

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 
i don't know if u can add this to the app, but i did this on my n900 : used queen beecon to get the name of every app under it, kind of like android .

AlMehdi 2010-09-27 14:49

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 
Another idea would be to add ability to import icon-themes.

1. Download an icon-theme-pack
2. Open Theme Customizer
3. Choose icon-theme-pack

Then Theme Customizer will untar it and place the folder in /usr/share/icons/.

The icon-theme-pack.tar.gz file must be packed correct to work.

Wouldn't it be easier for end user if icon theme creator's would pack them icons in deb and make the package depend on theme-customizer... that way icon themes could be easily installed via app manager.

Yes, it would.. but many potentially creators do not know how to make debs incl. me. :) But pack it as an tar.gz is not that hard. So i think it could potentially give more icon-theme-pack creators this way. The only problem would be to redistribute them.. there a deb would be a lot better.

There are a lot good looking icon-theme-packs on gnome-look.org and deviantart that are gpl'd. It would just need someone to download and rename them to fit Maemos folder structure. So pretty much any one could do it..

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 
not sure if this a problem with theme customizer, but installed yesterday, all working fine.
manually copied,edited and copied back to usr/share/applications/hildon, a couple of .desktop files today, now the icons wont show up in any app menu, also apmefo can no longer read what apps are on the device either.
i only thought it could be a bug caused by theme ed cause its the only thing i installed recently that has anything to do with hildon desktop, can you advise how to rebuild my apps list or something, do u think its corrupted?

@dscobsct,
you must have messed one or more .desktop files while editing them.
Theme Customizer doesn't touch those at any point, sorry :/

I promise to help you to pack it up as debian package when you have got the structure and icon sizes finished :)

I have problems with updating. Faster application Manager shows an update but while processing it there is an error. So I did apt-get install theme-customizer and it popped out that the package was not installed properly but it finished it. Of course after the update with FAppMan I've rebooted.

Next time copy and paste the app manager's (or fapman's) log here so I can see what the problem was.

Anyways, uploaded version 0.7 to devel two minutes ago with following changes:
- user can now make app shortcuts and web bookmarks larger than default values (30% larger)
- added about button to top menu

Next I will focus on translating the UI, big thanks to CepiPerez once again for helping me out with it :)

Just updated to 0.7 and it went ok this time:) Thanks:)
