http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=52239 Keyboard mod is there, I'm sure dscobsct would appreciate it if his thread doesn't get hijacked

Back on topic, it should be possible to actually change the blur into reduced brightness (which is how the MeeGo widgets gallery behaves), instead of blurring the background, dim it!
That should reduce load on the CPU and the PowerVR SGX (if it's actually being used in this case).
I had a look at the source but again it's C, and that's a brick wall for me.

I'm using dscobsct's mod and it is great. However, I would like to know how to change the background brightness in the menu as it is hard to read white font on bright background.

Thank you.

Thank you.
The mod disabled the blur, so if you adjust it the blur will go back (which reduces the frame rate)

The transitions.ini is just a settings file, read the comments in it (lines prefixed with a #) and change the numbers. IIRC, changing the snap/grid thingy would cause a boot loop, so don't touch those two.

Hildon Desktop otoh is programmed in C, transitions are handled by Hildon Desktop.
Sources for h-d are available here http://repository.maemo.org/pool/fre...ildon-desktop/
Use the one corresponding to your FW version (one of them is for 1.2, use dpkg -l hildon-desktop on your device to see which version you have).
thank you ill look into it, im familiare enough with the .ini but that just by playing around with it, but i want to understand whyt what does what so i can possibly expand on it with some extra code.
its all a learning curve. cheers dude

I think the lines are the full code, at least with the stock hildon-desktop.
Adding extra lines might not help (don't you just miss KMLs )

if anything this mod put slightly less strain on the CPU meaning it should result in a fractional increase in battery life
