Then the background-image for LauncherStyle and LauncherStyle.Landscape should point to the same image file, lets say "meegotouch-desktop-bg-launcher"

Hi.

I've built package libmeegoextension with the patch for fixing problem with black background in weather event widget.
You can find it here .
You can install it using inception.

It passably to use this without inception?

Re: Change your desktop background!
 
i'd recommend to go through the version numbers before installing. if yours is libmeegotouchextensions0_0.24.21-1+0m7 dont install the above file. you'll be left all icons being in red exclamation marks and no 3rd party apps working.

thedead1440 2012-04-06 20:42

Re: Change your desktop background!
 
Ok so i did a reflash using flasher. My apps disappeared but my measages etc remained. After a few minutes the same red exclamation marks have reappeared.

Hi
I've found source of the problem.

N9 and N950 have various packages in PR 1.2 .
The first package I've built for N950 and I just built package for N9. Try it.

Vlad.

Re: Change your desktop background!
 
What's the path for background after I set it with Home Screen setting ?

At pr 1.1 was /usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/images/backgrounds , now it misses from there .

Are you using PR1.2? If yes, and if you changes the home screen backgrounds by following the guide which changes the meegotouchhome css files from my blog, then you can restore the meegotouchhome css files by installing the deb package which you can download from here. Please remove the package after you've successfully installed the deb package.

Re: Change your desktop background!
 
Thanks a lot for helping on that issue, according to you i just have to install & uninstall the .deb package without any rebooting or using the terminal ?? Ryt ?? Just to clarify , i didn't install the app which you had released just followed the steps mentioned in your blog with the 2 image files to be placed in the dowloads folder..... Sorry for bothering coz i just am scared that i myt end up spoiling my device without any expert advice ...And yeah , i had used your tweak only after updating to the latest firmware and still running the same PR 1.2.... Thanks again !

If you have modified the meegotouchhome.css located at /usr/share/themes/base/meegotouch/libmeegotouchhome/style/ or /usr/share/themes/base/meegotouch/meegotouchhome/style, the deb file will help you to restore the css file and what you have to do is download the debian file on your phone and open it using a file manager, it's easier than install it through terminal. If you still have doubt, can you please PM me and I walk you through the recovery process? Thanks

Instructions:
1. Create your background image size of 480x854 in PNG format
2. Rename it to meegotouch-desktop-bg.png
3. Copy the resulting file to your smartphone in the Downloads folder
4. In the same folder Downloads unzip libmeegotouchviews-modified-default.css from the archive (http://www.mediafire.com/?b05rri3b3x20ris).
5. Open a terminal and type:
Code:

devel-su
rootme (the default password)
cp -f /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/meegotouch-desktop-bg.png /usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/images/backgrounds/
cp -f /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/libmeegotouchviews-modified-default.css /usr/share/themes/base/meegotouch/libmeegotouchhome/style/

6. Reboot

PS. For the subsequent change of the background, you need only change meegotouch-desktop-bg.png
But to return to the standard change libmeegotouchviews-modified-default.css to the original (http://www.mediafire.com/?yexu8a70ld534iu).

hi kuzmichov :)

i tried to change the background of my N9 base on your method but failed :( can i ask you a few question?

1) may i know the version of ur N9? is it PR1.3? Can your method work on PR1.3, the latest update?

2) you mention 'open a terminal'. do u mean open the css file?

3) inside the css file, there's already whole chuck of code. Do i remove all the code inside and paste the code that you have given us? or i just paste below the existing code without removing it?

Hope you can help me :o

Or do it the easiest way with an app called home screen settings. You can find it in store.

Home screen settings app allows you to choose whatever image you want to use...

The N9QT method is only if you are not using Home screen settings app...Never use the N9QT method interchangeably with home screen settings...
