reboot your device
uninstall theme customizer
install theme customizer
reboot your phone
launch the customizer and see if your icons will now resize :)

That did the trick

Those are not application shortcuts, they are widgets. Connectnow has it's own ability to resize them (go in desktop editing mode and click the tool icon @ connectnow widget). About bluezwitch, contact the author and ask if he can make it rezizable.

Didn't mean to be rude or anything in my post. But think it this way:
widgets are like separate applications just running on the desktop instead of being fullscreen. You can easily see what are widgets and what are shortcuts just by how they are added to desktop when you're in desktop editing mode; shortcuts have their own menu and widgets have their own :)

Btw, what is this trend about cutting words? With my english I hardly understood what you tried to say :D

@D-livil

LOL! what you are witnessing is the new age of english thanks to the text message format and limit of words per text message.

Apparently it is a big problem in Japan as well where the younger generation are also 'bastardising' the language due to text message size limits.

and if you struggle with that english then you shouldnt visit this site at all! http://icanhascheezburger.com/ :D

Have you installed Matan's modified hildon-desktop in the past? I did and had the same issue. Even reinstalling the original hildon-home didn't fix it, had to reflash.

Moin.

Another Idea.

Make a Option to set personal Lockslider-Background.

What you think ?

i had that problem, i think its caused by changing the font, anyways it was all good after deleting this app (don't worry i did reinstall it), it sometimes does that with the plastic them 2.

i had the same problem.tried to uninstall and install this application but still the same.ended with uninstallation. i will just wait for this bug to fix, for the meantime, i install again the font changer and i don't have any issues with it.

hey, D-Iivil.... i didnt mean to say that u were rude. I was just clarifying my doubts. And the english comes from sending sms a lot :). Its faster this way.But i wrote my previous post from my n900 with WLAN....so no limitations.I am basically a windows & symbian user.So, know nothing about linux or maemo. Looking forward for your & other expert's help in the future. Nice job u have done.....enjoying the app very much.

Still figuring out how to do it in action since user might have his own custom transitions file placed under theme directory or he might have just replaced the default transitions.ini and I have to think through what should I replace and backup etc..

Anyways, next version is almost finished. It will have these changes:
- multilanguage support
- ability for user to type in the color code he wants instead just using the buggy color picker dialog

CepiPerez, if you're reading this; do you have any ideas on how to fix the wallpaper issue with the modded hildon-home? I suppose you used Matan's hildon-home as base where you did the resize modifications? Could it be possible to add the resize function to PR1.2 hildon-home?

Don't bother, it's the hildon-home that comes with this package that's causing the issue.

If you or someone else wants to test out the ability to directly input color code and also test multilanguage support (currently only finnish and spanish included), download the attachment to the root of MyDocs and type these into xterm:

sudo gainroot

mv /opt/theme-customizer/theme-customizer_old

cd /home/user/MyDocs

tar -C / -xvf Theme-customizer.tar.tar



If someone wants to make a new translation you can take the finnish translation (or spanish), edit that and send it to me. Language files (.ts) are stored under:

/opt/theme/customizer/lang/

Yeah, it shows the current font your theme has and that's just how the Qt Font dialog seems to be working.

Nice, here's the finnish .ts -file. You can open it in any text editor and replace finnish strings with swedish ones :)

And uploaded version 0.8-1 rightaway, it only has small error handling improvements, not really functional differences to 0.8.

Here's a screenshot of the latest version :)

Weird. Just did an update myself from the repos and 0.8-1 is working fine on my end. I didn't change anything regarding that anyways :-/

Can you try upgrading again?

About keeping settings;
it does keep the settings for;
- font size
- icon theme
- shortcut size
- bookmarks size
- snap to grid

Color values are read when program launches from currently active theme and when you upgrade the app, the old version gets uninstalled -> backups are restored with original colors and fonts that theme had -> new version is installed.

So when you launch the program after upgrade it reads the color values from theme and those are ofcourse the ones that were restored during uninstallation.

I'm afraid I can't change that behaviour.

I wil have to remake the translation.. some of the word got to long and it makes the gui look strange. Like a "webpage" when you zoomed in.

AlMehdi 2010-10-01 14:15

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 
Ok.. have uploaded one with shorter word that should look better.

Yeah, thought so when I looked the translations :P

Just send me a new .ts when you're done and I'll include it in next update :)

edit: that was fast!

It was just a couple of words.. like Teckensnittsfärger > Teckenfärger.. ;)

Edit: It might be good if you test it first.. i am not able to do that as i can only edit *.ts files.

@D-livil

Hello there, I have not downloaded the updates yet, so if i am requesting something that is already in the update, feel free to slap me.

Is it possible, for when we are customising the font colour, to have a 'demo'/preview of how the font colour will be in relation to the rest of the theme?

This will save a lot of back and forth on the colour selection.

I shall partly slap you :P

You can see the new font color "in action" on the left side of input boxes when you change the color :)
