Lipstick UI
Hi
I am not new to programming but I am quite new to linux. I would like to try and build my own UI like the one that Nemo uses and found that it uses lipstick. Can some one tell me how to get lipstick and its dependancy on mer and start playing around with them. Thank you |

I think it would be easier to get a vm build of nemo https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Nemo/Installing and modify colorful home and themes.

There probadly alot of dependies. I think you better try do it inside a merSDK/SailfishSDK: But thats a bit tricky to learn and need patient and alot of tweeking mersdk is actually the build machine and runs best inside a Virtual machine: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Pla..._on_VirtualBox when that is setup you need to download and install an nemo rootimage inside mersdk/buildmachine and one for the actual target machine/device. https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Nemo/Installing When all is up the build is done inside mersdk: This can also be done in QTCreator if that is setup correctly. Actually I think its simpler to learn by installing http://sailfishos.org SDK and learn all stuff about mersdk build server and so on before start play with lipstick :) |
Re: Lipstick UI
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I have the exact same question. I've pulled down a Sailfish image for the Nexus 7 and installed it, pulled down the Mer SDK and (following the instructions) have built an image, and have generally exhausted all the documentation that I can find. Now, I want to play around with constructing a UI on top of Mer, and I've reached the same point: the lipstick and lipstick-home source code.
I'm just wondering, before I dive head-first into the code, is there any other documentation I am missing? :) It just seems to me that the existing Mer Wiki docs describe the SDK and the packaging process in quite a bit of detail, but never actually describe what Mer itself is in any detail... |
Re: Lipstick UI
You just installed SailfishOS on your nexus 7, just installed SDK, and first thing you want to do is compile new lipstick with new UI, right?

Anyway, yeah, I'm kinda just starting from scratch, and learning how everything works. :) |
