Re: How to Configure Status Bar

Hey MohammadAG, I have a question for you: ever since I tried your status menu fix (which is awesome as hell, Thanks!), so that all 6 rows show on the drop down and you don't have to scroll any more for the last one?, I have been noticing a battery drain, the statusmenu process is using more than usual? Is that supposed to happen for just that little fix? Thanks in advance dude...

Re: How to Configure Status Bar

Does anybody know how to completely remove the Battery icon from both the status area & status menu?

im getting very irritated looking at it because it's always wrong on my phone since i charge my phone externally, my QBW homemade battery "meter" gives me the REAL battery state.

NOTE: if you want to know what i mean about externally charging go to my battery test & battery mod thread.

i have tryed to edit status-menu.plugins in etc/hildon-desktop but than i get a half battery icon????

Re: How to Configure Status Bar

@dr_frost_dk: Any chance of getting a paste of your status-menu.plugins looks like?

Re: How to Configure Status Bar

hmm i found a way to do it, but still need to move the rest of the icons 1 step towards the signal indicator (2G/3G)

Here's my progress so far:
Edit 'etc/hildon-desktop/status-menu.plugins'
find

Code:

[status-area-applet-battery.desktop]

X-Desktop-File=/usr/share/applications/hildon-status-menu/status-area-applet-battery.desktop

X-Status-Area-Permanent-Item=Special-Item-1

X-Status-Menu-Position=1

and delete the text or put # infront of every line like this

Code:

#[status-area-applet-battery.desktop]

#X-Desktop-File=/usr/share/applications/hildon-status-menu/status-area-applet-battery.desktop

#X-Status-Area-Permanent-Item=Special-Item-1

#X-Status-Menu-Position=1

Now go to '/usr/share/applications/hildon-status-menu'
Delete 'Battery' file or just move it to '/usr/share/applications' then it can be moved back if you want to undo.

Now it's gone but there is now a gap where the battery should be in the Status-Area... anybody know how to edit this?

Re: How to Configure Status Bar

Install rootsh first

Code:

root

apt-get install wget # if you don't have wget

wget http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/maemo/debfiles/hildon-status-menu_extended/hildon-status-menu_0.3.39+0m5_armel.deb

dpkg -i hildon-status-menu_0.3.39+0m5_armel.deb

killall hildon-status-menu

You might want to pin it if you want to prevent apt from replacing it later

Code:

echo "Package: hildon-status-menu

Pin: release a=unstable 

Pin-Priority: 1001" >> /etc/apt/preferences

Your a legend, Ive lost count of how many of your post have help me

Thanks

Re: How to Configure Status Bar

anybody got an idea on how to move the icons to take the space of the now removed battery icon on the desktop??

Re: How to Configure Status Bar

Could someone do me a favour & upload the contents of etc/hildon-desktop/status-menu.plugins.

I was having a fiddle, though it would be nice to switch the battery and celluar signal position.

Its not so nice! status area is screwed, no clock random crap everywhere.

I only changed 2 numbers, next time i will rember to back my S&$T up first :o

Thanks for the quick response, unfortunatley that hasn't sorted my problem!!

I switched the Special-Item numbers on the above two lines, it must have altered something somwhere else aswell.

Guess I will be doing some digging, failing that it will be a reflash :@
