Yes, this is not for a newbie. I am not doing a through explanation so some of it you need to know or google it.

Well, I am still a newbie, but I am getting better with my phone and Xterminal. The way this topic evolved + all the included tips thanks to the input of e.g. AlMehdi, Matan, biggzy, zoner makes it understandable for me to try it out.
And it is only a few weeks that I have my N900, it will be a long summer

That you are correct of and i admire your adventurism. Make sure to do backups frequently in the beginning. In case you have to reflash. OpenSSH are a great tool for that and is something you should learn if you haven't.

Xterm is a magnificent tool if you learn how to use it. Can save you a lot of time. It also gives you power to configure most of the things. Thank god we have guys like Matan that can help us with the other stuff

I am quite sure you will get the hang of this.

Edit: Ohh.. and if you want the xterminal to be even better make sure to install bash. Wget and leafpad are other great tools.

1. First you need to download the customized hildon-home by Matan.
http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n90...+0m5_armel.deb

2.1 Then in terminal to install: sudo dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Download/hildon-home_0.3.66-2+0m5_armel.deb
2.2 Set it to the size you want: sudo gconftool -s /apps/osso/hildon-home/task-shortcuts-size -t int 62 (Where "62" will need to be the size you choose of the AppletShortcut images.)

3. Then install ImageMagick: sudo apt-get install imagemagick

4.1 Install Openssh-client to download the complete icon and theme folders:
4.2 sudo apt-get install openssh-client
4.3 scp -r /usr/share/icons user@ip-number:/home/n900
4.4 scp -r /usr/share/themes/<your theme> user@ip-number:/home/n900

Look in the different folders on your desktop computer what to change. Then go back to the n900 and use:

(examples)
5.1 cd /usr/share/icons/64x64/hildon/
5.2 sudo mogrify -resize 48x48! *.png (this will change all the png in the /hildon folder)

(i have the humanity theme so i will edit the shortcut background in the humanity folder)
5.3 cd /usr/share/themes/humanity/images/ApplicationShortcutApplet.png And sudo mogrify -resize 62x62! ApplicationShortcutApplet.png

5.4 cd /usr/share/themes/humanity/images/ApplicationShortcutAppletPressed.png And sudo mogrify -resize 62x62! ApplicationShortcutAppletPressed.png

(change the location and file that complies to you in #5)

6. Restart Hildon-home to see the change: sudo pkill hildon-home

If something got wrong and you don't know how to get it back. First change to another theme. Then reinstall your theme: apt-get remove --purge humanity-theme and apt-get install humanity-theme

When it is done:



can we use this to make the icons bigger ????

Change the "62" to something bigger in "sudo gconftool -s /apps/osso/hildon-home/task-shortcuts-size -t int 62"

I think the stock size is 96 pixels so 192 would make them double the size you have now.
