Got the chance to try out google navigation today

Turn by turn instructions including voice instructions worked just fine

However nothing I could do meant that the map was on the screen, so I got a green bar at the top of the screen with instructions of what to do, under which was a blank white screen

anyone else?

That's not the point. The point is that is there a possibility to turn it on by option. Meaning that for example, when I leave it to recharge and the battery is full, the led blinks. I hate lightblinking when I try to sleep. But on the other hand, I must leave it for it to have battery for the next day. I know, I know.. It is a very small problem, but it's just me that wants these things. I'm the person who has taped "breathing light" over with duckt tape from a mac and a monitor because the blinking is irritating.

I love the stock grassroots colours.
Yeah. But the problem is, that for example I have not been able to create an ambience with dark picture (almost black) and having for example white text even that would be totally visible. So the easiest way would be to change the background image of an ambience once I have gotten whit(e/ish) text.

The bright coloured pictures work just fine, but for example every time I try to make an ambience from a black and white picture, I get this suck *** orange or baby poop coloured text. I have tried at least with 5-10 different pictures and the result is always the same. S**t coloured or orange. :P

Just out of curiosity, could you upload a screenshot of such an Ambience?

what is cooler than scrolling 9 multitask windows?

Scrolling 20 multitask windows, all with life content!

on 1:12 , the N900 and how a true multitask browsing device looks like.

While it's nice for its time, you do undertsand that the UX doesn't go with the gesture philosophy, right? :-) Maybe there should be an option to open a dedicated application with _all_ those minimised windows, for the hardcore user.

I turned off my N9 breathing charging light long time ago by editing mce.ini. So it might be possible on Jolla too.
Disable charging light is now added on N9QTweak.

Mmm... interesting.
If you want to experiment, try with a plain back image and let's see what happens then.

See /etc/mce/20hybris-led.ini and /etc/mce/10mce.ini

Hmm.. I'm a huge newb with sailfish / maemo. Coming from iOS world to this, and 1 day in at Jolla-world. So any pointers to a web page or any instructions how to be able to edit those?

I can work my way with unix/linux, but no clue where to start..
