That makes it sound a lot less complicated then I am betting it is. One other app I am working on is gFTP and I will adapt what you have shown me here to that app and see if I can do it myself. I REALLY appreciate your patch/diff and I wanna learn how to do it myself eventually. Thing is your patch gives me a good map to work from for hildonizing in other apps. Did you have some way of generating that diff file after making changes to the files or did you create it manually? I have found a few pdf's and a few websites (including maemo.org's porting apps walkthrough) that touch on hildonizing, but there isnt that one site that really walks you through a gtk application hildon conversion. (though maemo's is real good) Thanks again, -John
