Re: How do I get 9 homescreens without using terminal
 
Thanks for all help so far

but even though I have selected a pic for the new home screens (5,6,7,8,9)

They are all shown as black

and if i try to change the back ground from the phone they change the first four and 5-9 stay black



How can I change the background for these

I recommend reading through and following the thread I linked to just above yours.. and asking your questions in there instead.

I actually don't use the 9 desktops; so I don't know, but a lot of people that do may be subscribed to that other thread and be able to help. (If the answer isn't already in there.)

Now.. instead of just saying "don't do that".. it would have been appreciated had you provided a more updated link, how to, something, that is "preferable" to point users too.

I would, if I could. The most up to date information is probably here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=702404 , but I would not like that thread to be used for discussing the "9 desktops" feature.

What really needs to happen is for someone to create a package that depends on modified hildon desktop, replaces hildon-home with the version that supports 9 views, and includes other small things that are necessary. I am really surprised that of the few thousands of users for this feature, not one bothered to do this job, which does not require any programming.

So is anyone updated to newer pr 1.2 version or not? 13 weeks ago a person named Matan wrote

Do not install modified-hildon-desktop from extras-devel, it is an old version, and it does not include a lot of features (including more than 4 desktops feature). Since the autobuilder can't build this package, it can't be updated. I already asked for its removal.

You gave me this link
http://maemobriefs.blogspot.com/2010...e-screens.html

People who have commented on this site have experienced the same issue
But haven't discussed a fix

Does anyone know how to put backgrounds on home screens 5-9
As even though I have chosen an image in x terminal they won't change from black and I am unable to change it from the phone

I was referring to this one. Not the blog post.

See this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=702404 , or toward the end of this one: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=47371 . In short, you need to install two packages for 9 desktops support. modified-hildon-desktop and a modified package called hildon-home.

The old package was already removed from extras-devel.
