One of the neat features in hildon-desktop is that it can use PVR screenshots that can be loaded before an app starts, just to make it look like it started faster, unfortunately, most apps on Maemo 5 don't support this, a few stock ones (Clock/Settings/Modest), and very few community ones (fMMS, DrNokSNES, PSFreedom etc...) do.

This is a quick app that allows you to create PVR images, they will be saved in /home/user/.cache/launch/org.maemo.pvrcreator.pvr.
After an image is created, rename it to match the service name of the application you want to use it for from /usr/share/dbus-1/services/
Use this command:
Code:
cat /usr/share/dbus-1/services/* | grep Name
to get a list of service names, rename the pvr file to the name you got from the command above, adding .pvr at the end.
Example:
Take a screenshot of the media player.
Trim the top title bar (including status menu etc...).
Place the edited screenshot somewhere on the device.
Use the application to create a pvr file.
Rename the file to com.nokia.mediaplayer.pvr



Thanks to thp, Jaffa, and frals, their source codes really helped in this app

Package name is pvrcreator, should be in devel in less than half an hour.
