Notes:
With this version you can select which views to enable from the GUI. The dialog which shows 4 screens is horizontally scrollable.
Running the commands (as user)
should allow for selecting background from the GUI, without the black screen problems.Code:cd /home/user/.backgrounds/ rm cache.info cp background-1.png background-5.png cp background-1.png background-6.png cp background-1.png background-7.png cp background-1.png background-8.png cp background-1.png background-9.png
has this happened to anyone? do i download it by viewing that link with a n900? or do i download it onto the pc, then transfer it into n900?
thanks

You need to download the file http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n90...+0m5_armel.deb to your device, and install it by running, as root:
If you only have four desktops in "manage views" dialog box, then you did not do this properly.
Code:
dpkg -i hildon-home_0.3.66-2+0m5_armel.deb killall hildon-home

Am I right to suspect the cp commands is just duplicating background 1 to background 5 and so on?

I was using wrong file too ... but now, I have up to 9 available desktops in the manage views screen, but when I enable some more than 4, I can still cycle only through those original four ... even after restart ...

This sounds like not having modified-hildon-desktop installed.
hildon-home is responsible for drawing the different views (background, widgets, etc.) and hildon-desktop is responsible for switching between them. Therefore, you need both of them changed for 9 views.
