Just a quick question Rich, how are you finding the DrLaunch app? I remember it being quite buggy (no offence to any developers that may be reading this!) on release...

Either way great stuff!

Shame the dev stopped work on it? Or has he!! Anyone know

For the media screen I've just changed the colours and for all screens I've followed Q's lead and taken out the default clock. All new clocks are done in QueenB (thanks Dany-69!!), yes I've finally bit the bullet and started messing around with this awesome, awesome program and yes it is incredible, no 'no's about it! ;)

All apps on the vert desktop can be used in portrait natively without the need for ctrl-shift-r; Fapman, Filebox, Instinctiv, FastSMS, MicroB, General Settings (with the MohammadAG mod), ConnectNow widgets, photos (not quite but enough for me - at least they autorotate!) and of course phone.

Writing on the connectnow vert widgets had to be copied from the originals, rotated and then set as no-name shown.

I removed the operator name completely so it wouldn't show up on the vert desktop, and drew it directly on each wallpaper. I did edit the 'connecting' and 'offline' names so that (only on the landscape desktops) when it is connecting or offline it actually reads: 'N900 Connecting...' and 'N900 Offline'. Looks sh1te on the vert desktop... but working on a fix as we speak! Definitely a work in progress that one.

Also at the moment the desktop clock widget on the vert desktop is for show, but I did ask Nicolai about portrait in the next release and he said he would implement it if enough people were interested. Basically if you do want it let him know here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...7&goto=newpost

Looking forward to PR1.3 and quad-boot maemo/maemopower/meego/android business!! :D :D :D

Many thanks to James_Littler and shazosbourne from whom I've stolen the most... :p

Here is my theme:

Nice, I've released my theme to extras testing, it's called 'Pleego-remix' if you'd like to have a look.

I'd appreciate a vote if anyone is using the theme, that way it'll get pushed to extras :cool:

If my understanding is correct, your customisation will be safe because you've overwritten the images in hicolor i.e. where the default ones are. So, theoretically at least, your custom images will be at no more risk than the default icons would be. If you are worried though, you can use SSH to put a backup of the entire usr folder on your computer, so when you restore it it will contain all your modifications like nothing had happened

go to terminal

result is the number after inet addr

Glad to hear that buddy. Judging by all your recent mods, it was worth the hassle. :D

What are the top battery icons here? I thought they were the standard black plastic ones, but the last bar doesn't touch the border on those, as on the bottom screenshot.

and meanwhile, I got another battery iconset:

Yeah, I know I need to resize the angry birds icon, looks a bit dicky, but I'll get around to it.

I hope to get time to do more. I use them in conjunction with Black Plastic dark blue.

I was asked for them a few weeks ago so have finally got my act together and zipped them up. help yourself


The icons are in the folder hierarchy usr/share/icons/ etc etc
There is the backgrounds folder for the category icons, and images folder for the transparent taskbar and modded launcher and a pixmaps folder for a few other installed apps.

But may I suggest you to pack it up so that icons aren't going to "hicolor" folder? Instead copy the index.theme file from original "hicolor", edit your name in it (name of icon-theme must match to folder name for icons), then rename the iconset folder (hicolor) to something you like (must be same you edited into index.theme -file). Then users can drop this icon set to their phone and use Theme Customizer to select to use your icon theme instead hicolor one?
