Well, if you're using the latest nuvoclear, which is called "NuvoClear2", you might want to add the "2" at the end. Guess I should have kept the old name but nuvoclear2 just had alot of significant changes. Also, I just found out that it is CaSe SeNsItIvE. <-- That's almost certainly the problem, since it worked for me with the caps.

Edit - To Benson ~
This file here "~/.osso/hildon-dekstop/desktop.conf" seems to control the size of the statusbar, as well as the navigator, sidebar on the left. I was actually able to make the side bar smaller. I just dunno if I could edit the icons smaller, if that would mess it up? I also moved the statusbar to the left side next to the task manager, but their were some display issues. Eventually I messed the file up to much by changing the "type" value on the statusbar and I got a reboot loop and had to reflash. D: So if you DO decide to mess around, BE CAREFUL and backup .

Edit-edit - to benson, qwerty ~ that little menu image is part of the theme images. You can go into the images foler of the particular theme and edit it out. Both are separate for home and titlebar views

Yeah, I knew that. I just was lazy in my post...
With Emel I am looking right at the file and selecting for editing so case sensitivity or spelling are not the issue.

BTW, I am using the first version of NuvoClear because I like how the analog clock panel is transparent.

I'm pretty sure the method I outlined earlier will work when I get to it and I will keep this thread updated... besides I want to look at the whole file in a large screen editor in order to try some other things.

Well, I had played around with that at one point, trying to kill the contacts icon in the navigator & expand the task area to 4 icons.
Failure, because it's hard-coded.
I expect the same here, but I haven't actually tried anything with the statusbar.

Darn D: It'd be nice to be configurable. The layout sort of bothers me. I'd rather have the task icons and status in the same place and make the matchbox titlebar smaller.

Well, here's something cool, anyway... Though I'd rather not waste that much space just to fit extra taskbar applets...

Edit: Anyone know what happens with more than 13 applets? I only have 13 installed ATM, including location (and my GPS is out in the car)... have to try it sometime.

but... but... the tablet's vertical space is even more cramped than its horizontal space! Two bars across the top feels positively claustrophobic! I always move my menu bars, tool bars, etc. to the sides when I'm using a non-hildon WM on the tablet.

If anyone is c whizzzes, in scratchbox run:
apt-get source hildon-desktop matchbox-window-manager and hard code the limit to a better one ;p

Useless, currently:

Of course. But it's interesting anyway, I thought. Oh well, if you don't like that:

There ya go...
BTW, I was able to edit the file outside the Emelfm's environment and just copy over the old one in a latter session.

I got rid of home in NuvoClear and also cleaned up the font size issues that crops up in the Nuvo themes by comparing (and editing to match) the default theme.

Also BTW: What, no "Red neck, white sox, and Blue Ribbon beer." in your playlist?
