looking forward to trying this :D

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

That did the trick

Cheers

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

Gr8 app, thanx a lot.
However, i m not able to change some 3rd party icon size like bluezwitch & connectnow.
any suggestions......

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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.

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

hmmm, thanx. I did mean to mention it to u as widget and not a shortcut. Its this trouble with us noobs. We cant get the tech part right. But does my Q make any difference whether its a widget or a shortcut? I think so, otherwise u wont mention it, right? Neway,thanx again. I will try wht u suggested. U guys certainly make the n900 more fun.

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

@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

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

i find that wen i want to change background my entire image sets or theme wallpaper no longer found...

anyone having same prob?

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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.

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

Moin.

Another Idea.

Make a Option to set personal Lockslider-Background.

What you think ?

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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.

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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.

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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.

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

how about a transitions effect with this app there's at least 5 transitions u can get by googlling.

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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?

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

god job mate, this app is evolving very fast, wich is a great thing, i love it, i just want to ask u something, how good are you with creating widgets ??

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

Difficult to say since I've never wrote one :P

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

ok mate, i'm just looking for someone that can come up with a great flip clock widget for the n900.

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

nope... when i got back my phone i have not used that.... so what else sld i look at??

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

yes!!! color code been waiting for this....

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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/

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

lovin this app....!

one request. Its very minor. It doesnt remember which font you select..

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

Version 0.8 just uploaded to extras-devel, should be available in next 30 mins or so.

Changes are:
* user can now directly write the color code he wants into text input box
* added two new colors to play around with, button and button pressed
* multilanguage support, included languages are Finnish and Spanish

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

Cool! Will try to scoop up swedish for it ;)

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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 :)

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

testing version 0.8 NOW Ricky
edit - noice!!

now testing 0.8.1.....
edit2: got stuck updating.....

any way you could keep your old settings when you update the app??

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

version 0.8.1 seems to get stuck updating the theme......... tried twice, with reboot in bewteen.

edit: confirmed. reverted to 0.8 and it worked perfectly 1st time

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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.

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

I have made the Swedish.ts now

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

Thanks! Uploaded version 0.8-2 few seconds ago with Swedish language support :)

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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.

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

Ok.. have uploaded one with shorter word that should look better.

Swedish.ts

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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!

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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.

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

Yeah, will test it this time.

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

@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.

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 

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 :)
