If nothing else, FB apps generally look very nice and are easy to view outdoors. Sociality is very good, but besides the main menu it's pretty cluttered and looks almost like MS DOS in presentation. That's a general appearance thing beyond the background colour, but certainly, it contributes.

I got to agree. The app is amazing, only thing that I like less is the appearance. The best is getting one good color pallet and be using that for the whole application. Stick to it and lighter colors, black text over white is easier to read then vice versa.

I agree love the app so much but hate the colours and stuff. Hopefully that gets fixed as its the best fb app we have and will ever have.

Knock ups with photoshop or such would be appreciated, I'm not the greatest designer around :P

Awesome work on the app.

Any chance you could make Messages come up like the bubble themes from conversations?

It would look alot better :)

Also is there any plans to change the way walls are displayed because the black background and current view is kinda confusing :P

You mean mock ups?
Why not just stick to default blue-ish/white Facebook theme/UI layout?
I bet someone put quite some effort in designing it, so it canīt be that bad, right :p?
Apps on other platforms as well as Kasvopus also follow this design and we see how popular it is by the repeated requests here in this thread..
I think it would be great for Maemo if there where a Facebook App that actually looks like a Facebook App ;-)

Just post if you need help on some specific graphics work and we will see if the community can help making the app look decent and Facebook-like:cool:

Or what would you prefer? A completely own design/layout/color scheme?

Switch_ is a photoshop wizard, so MAG if you're wanting some design assistance it'd be worth PMing him

Is there any reason why apt-get and fapman can't find sociality for me? I'd love to try it....

Do you have extras-devel repository enabled? Here is the package page for v0.1.5.
