my mod isn't anything software related.
its a rapid prototype for something I needed


i will make a proper woody version soon, but this was quick and simple and is really sturdy for sitting alongside my laptop and testing whilst i code.
i get to poke the screen without it falling over

In order to do this, you will need to:

* Download and install rootsh from the Extras repository, which will give you root access in the X-Terminal
* Download and install Midnight Commander, the well known file manager which also contains a convenient text editor.


-open x-terminal app
-type 'sudo gainroot' [enter] then 'mc'
-edit the file "etc/mce/mce.ini"
-down the bottom of file is the area you need to be..
-just read the file and its self explaining...
-its as simple as changing setting to 'b' (to change notification to blue)
-save file, exit mc and reboot.

@bigzzy

If you just want the reboot button then edit the end of the file to look like this removing the <!-- at either end.

I didn't want the top command or soft reboot so I deleted them too

As was said earlier do keep a copy of the original file safe

Perhaps a simpler way to add a reboot button not requiring MC:

1) Open X terminal as root
2) cd /etc/systemui
3) Make a backup of the systemui file: cp systemui.xml systemui.xml.orig
3) Edit the file in any editor, e.g. vi systemui.xml

You need to make this section:
Code:
<!--
 <menuitem priority="20" name="Reboot">
  <return>6</return>
  <po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
 </menuitem>
 <menuitem priority="10" name="Soft poweroff">
  <return>7</return>
  <po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
 </menuitem>
 <menuitem priority="5" name="Top in XTerm">
  <callback service="com.nokia.xterm" path="/com/nokia/xterm" interface="com.nokia.xterm" method="run_command" bus="session" autostart="true">
   <argument type="string">/usr/bin/top</argument>
  </callback>
 </menuitem>
-->
look like:

Code:
 <menuitem priority="20" name="Reboot">
  <return>6</return>
  <po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
 </menuitem>
<!--
 <menuitem priority="10" name="Soft poweroff">
  <return>7</return>
  <po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
 </menuitem>
 <menuitem priority="5" name="Top in XTerm">
  <callback service="com.nokia.xterm" path="/com/nokia/xterm" interface="com.nokia.xterm" method="run_command" bus="session" autostart="true">
   <argument type="string">/usr/bin/top</argument>
  </callback>
 </menuitem>
-->

Thanks for the info. Does it matter if two settings has the same value, like "power on" has white, so can i set it also for "sms?

What kind of combinations do work? Does blue&green work?
