Re: More than 4 desktops possible?
 
What happens if Nokia releases a new version of hildon-desktop ?

Is it not possible to add more destops with existing hildon-desktop somehow?

If you install an upgrade that includes a new hildon-desktop package (as PR1.2 will), it will overwrite the binary installed by my package, and you won't be able to use all enhancements, including more than 4 desktops.

Then you will be able to reinstall modified-hildon-desktop which will restore all enhancements, but might miss new features and bug fixes in the new hildon-desktop. Or you can wait until I adapt the modified-hildon-desktop patch to the new version of hildon-desktop. Depending on how much time in advance I will know which version of hildon-desktop is in PR1.2, that wait might be as short as no wait at all.

You can't use more than 4 desktops in standard hildon-desktop, since there is hard limit of 4 desktops in the program. You can use less than 4 if you want.

Is it possible to make a small program that overrides the hard limit..in default and future updates of the hildon-desktop package?

That's a pretty cool upgrade.

Definitely a good idea. Wish someone would pick up the idea!

Search for Matan's "modified-hildon-desktop" in this forum.
You can have up to 9 desktops.
