After the recent update the program just reads the contacts database and startup and crashes. I have deinstalled, and reinstalled the application, and also restarted my device, but the problem persists. I can't use the program properly because it crahses immediatly after reading the contacts database

I can't think of anything that has changed that could cause this. I have two suggestions:

1. rename the /home/user/.mycontacts folder to something else. It will reset the application but you won't have access to anything you created before (settings/groups/style sheets) but will give us a good clue to find the bug.

2. after trying #1 if the problem persists send (PM) me the /home/user/.mycontacts/log.txt file and I will look for some clues.

Fcrochik, do you think you can modify the program to look like sony123's. He posted the code on last page. It would be nice if you can make it reflect the way he did it so everybody can enjoy. Thanks for the great product.

I have changed for the next version the "default font size" to smaller size but don't want to get rid of the "second phone button" because right now it is the only way to start a skype and/or google voice call.

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...

Right now your only option is to leave the application running (not the appet) but will show on your task list. Later on I will allow you to install a daemon ...

Another idea for now is just adding more desktops. I saw a thread about that but haven't tested my self:

I will add to the least ... It may actually be pretty easy to accomplish and I can sneak it in on a next release.

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?)

Yes... Just make sure that if you customize the css files that you have a copy of your version somewhere else too because when you update the application it will likely "reset" them automatically as part of the setup.
