Sorry I was busy.
I'll try to add the hildon-home modifications to PR1.2 one.

BTW: Can you add "Set mediaplayer icons"?
Humanity icons has their own mediaplayer icons in 164x164/hildon folder like the rest of the icons packs. But mediaplayer seems to read icons always from hicolor.

That would require overwriting the original icons since the mediaplayer app is coded shitty :P

Will think about that! And thanks for looking into hildon-home :)

Yes, but you can make a backup of the original icons and the user can revert when he wants.

Here's the modified hildon-home based on the latest gitorious package.
Remember to mount and test before replace!

Yep, but I want customizer only edit one theme at the time and if I replace those icons it would affect other themes aswell (scenario where users first edits one theme and chooses to use humanity icons and then switches to another theme which uses hicolor icons).

Edit: I mean I don't want user to be forced to run Customizer if he wants to completely revert to hicolor icons.

This seems to be working fine :) I can change my wallpapers again :)

Will play around with it and if no problems are found, will release update tomorrow.

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 
Version 0.9 uploaded to devel with following changes:
* new hildon-home.launch which fixes the wallpaper changing issue, thanks CepiPerez
* experimental new UI layout
* swedish translations tuned a bit

d-iivil 2010-10-02 18:01

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 
UI needed more tuning since I found it hard to scroll the page now when there was nothing on the side to "grab" to. So uploaded 0.9-2 few minutes ago (should be available in 30 mins or so) which has some bling bling in it :)

<yes, there is an echo in the house>

Customize theme + Plastic theme = ??

These two are exceptionally detailed and thorough apps. Have you considered amalgamating the two?

I am currently running your customize theme and it works beautifully with no issues at all. Thank you.

I have thought it but haven't come up with solution yet. One option would be to drop off the whole "plastic setup" utility and force users to use theme customizer instead. Then I could change Plastic packs so that each scheme could be accessible from normal "select theme" menu...

Would that make sense? Then I wouldn't have to develope two different projects which are pretty similiar.

Ofcourse customizer works already with Plastic Themes.

gryedouge 2010-10-02 19:24

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 
<whew> i thought i was about to get slapped again :D

No, I agree with your idea. I have previously installed the plastic theme and add ons. I subsequently uninstalled them (to my slight regret) and have installed your customizer. Using the customizer gave me the sense that the plastic themes/add ons would have been a natural extension of the customizer. it just felt ...easy? natural? your customizer is brilliant and incorporating the plastic theme/add ons as an advanced option or a regular option will seem like a natural step and combination for these apps.

So yes, maybe halting the plastic set up and incorporating the themes/packs into the customizer would be the right way to go. This is just my opinion, i am sure that many others might agree/disagree but i believe that it could work very sucessfully.

I only slapped you because you asked for it :P

Need to think throught the whole Plastic Theme thing. Fact is that customizer can do more than Plastic Setup and implementing the missing features into it would take long time and woulld feel like waste of time...

No problem :)
I rolled out two updates today and latest is 0.9-2.

Report if the wallpaper issue is fixed with new version. You need to run the customizer once to reload the fixed hildon-home and then you should be able to choose wallpapers again.

No, i disagree with you on this one. Stand by for a motivational/nagging sermon :D

It will take a bit more work and effort, but one thing that i have learnt from all my past projects is that one project is often the stepping stone for the next. i dont think that you have wasted any time or will waste any time. You have just realised something bigger and better and now..well...now you need to decide where to go to.

Yepyep, I didn't mean I already HAD wasted time, just thinking that implementing these color changing stuffs to Plastic Theme Setup WOULD be a waste of time :-P

Anyways, back to topic, bumped the version up to 0.9-4, nothing serious, just some error checking and handling.

Does the customizer show swissA as current font if you open the customizer after this occurs?

If so, then please tell me what font you are trying to use and if the problem occurs if you try to set some other font?

Re: [Announce / WIP] Theme Customizer - customize your N900
 
I agree with you D-livil, it'll be a good idea to develop on the customizer further and take the plastic theme back to being just a variant switcher. That way, all variants will remain in one (or three) packages, without clogging the repos....

Actually I ment to get rid of Plastic Theme Setup for good and modify Packs so that every scheme will be installed into separate folders under /usr/share/themes. Then you could use the normal theme selector to switch schemes and use Theme Customizer to customize them.

Okay. What theme are you using when you're trying to change the font? I want to try it myself and see if I can reproduce it.

After you have hit the "apply" or "save and reboot" you do see banners popping up telling what's happening?

Edit: even better, run these in terminal after you have non-successfully set the fonts and stuff:
Code:

cp /etc/hildon/theme/colors.config /home/user/MyDocs/
cp /etc/hildon/theme/css/colors.css /home/user/MyDocs/
cp /etc/hildon/theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc /home/user/MyDocs/

Then attatch your phone to PC and locate these three files on root of MyDocs and send them to me (or pack them as zip and post it here as attachment):
colors.config
colors.css
gtkrc

Love the new design! And i see you moved the titles a bit.. so in the Swedish translation you could if you like change "Teckenfärger" back to "Teckensnittsfärger" again. It sounds nicer. Also just have "Aktiv" and "Inaktiv" instead of "Aktivt teckensnitt" and "Inaktivt teckensnitt".

In the program menu i notised that "Vill du importera teckensnitt från MyDocs" was to long. Maybe change it to "Importera från MyDocs".

Hello!

Thanks for fantastic app! Paired with D-Theme Night, some custom fonts and tweaks that I know looks beautifull!!!

Have question/request about font colors - can anyone provide description which fonts are "secondary, active, disabled" etc.

Probably much easyer than going with trial&error :)

Regards,
b.

Sure, I will write these into opening post later, but here's the colors in a nutshell:

Primary font: the "common font, used everywhere as regular text color"

Secondary: used together with primary font on lists etc, like in file manager, phone log etc

Active font: this is hard to explain. This is used in calendar widget as date color and also in phone application as unanswered call title, in conversations as unreaded message's title etc.

Disabled font: color which is used in forms or buttons which are in disabled state

Painted font: color of font when text is "painted" / selected

"Paint" color: title says it

Button font: color of fonts inside buttons when button is not pressed etc

Button Pressed: color of fonts inside buttons when button IS pressed

Will fix those today / tomorrow. Meantime don't choose to use default font size if not using english os language.
