Code:

apt-cache policy libhildondesktop0 hildon-desktop libhildonwm0

It also seems that if you have installed patch for locking home applets from qwerty12, you must remove it and install regular version before.
2. Install this with “dpkg -i”: libhildondesktop0_2.0.18-1fix1-12applets_armel.deb. This package has 12 applets limit instead of 7.
3. You must also alter matchbox theme.xml to make space for more applets in statusbar. Below are my modifications of Echo theme, you can modify your one in the same manner. Statusbar should be increased to hold 5 more applets which equals to 5×40px = 200px.

/usr/share/themes/echo/matchbox/theme.xml:

Old:

Code:

<layer x="35" y="9" w="283" h="30"·
   type="label" color="osso-TitleTextColor" justify="left" font="osso-TitleFont" />

New:

Code:

<layer x="35" y="9" w="104" h="30"·
   type="label" color="osso-TitleTextColor" justify="left" font="osso-TitleFont" />

Old:

Code:

<button x="3" y="0" w="315" h="60" action="custom" options="inputonly,pressonly" />

New:

Code:

<button x="3" y="0" w="115" h="60" action="custom" options="inputonly,pressonly" />

Old:

Code:

<panel x="-372" y="0" w="280" h="50" />

New:

Code:

<panel x="-572" y="0" w="480" h="50" />

I have also changed background image in /usr/share/themes/echo/images/qgn_plat_application_status_bar_background.png to make window title “tab” narrower.

4. Reboot
