Changing the style sheets is very easy. Maybe the best idea is to have these two files with their original names attached to the thread so you can just download and save them to the right place (/home/user/.mycontacts).

If the idea of different skins starts to be used I will just create a setting allowing you to select a folder with the "set of style files" - this way you can have multiple "skins" and just try each without problems.

p.s. On very interesting and simple change is to use the "Droid Sans" font...
I also think eliminating the phone button highly depends on individual's taste and it's best not be the default setting. For me I just want to have a way to look at the contact info in portrait mode so I want as much space for numbers and don't mind losing the call button.

Yeah I post the code instead of files because I don't know where to put the files... fcrochik I think having the option to change style is not important because as you said, changing style is not that hard now.


1. On PC, copy the codes I pasted into two separate files with filesname "contact_landscape.css" and "contact_portrait.css".

2. Transfer them to your N900, let's say put in MyDocs.

3. Launch Xterm, type 'sudo gainroot'

4. Type 'cd .mycontacts'

5. Type 'cp /home/usr/MyDocs/contact_portrait.css .' and 'cp /home/usr/MyDoc/contact_landscape.css .' And you are done!

(I'm skipping the backup step because I think the 'Reset skin' button in setting will reset the css, is it correct?)
