the best way to put it! i agree!!!!!!!!!!!

-CSSU transitions tuner
-CSSU features enabler

yes... that is quite ridiculous....

i think that one app for ALL theme customisation is enough...

I haven't yet seen a screenshot of a small enhancement to the Display settings applet that I'd like to see included. See the posts above about what the actual scope of the core CSSU should be.

Well... I can only answer questions about TC and CSSU Transitions Tuner:
- TC won't do anything to the extra features brought by CSSU, that's why I wrote CSSU Transitions Tuner which is also integrated into TC's interface.

I know there's already CSSU features enabler, but I prefer to have my own version which is written in Qt/C++.

Btw, thanks to gionni88, I just uploaded a version 0.0.5 of CSSU Transitions Tuner to repos which now supports portait mode

Well put, I tried to say that earlier in the thread. However I also added - why don't we have the desktops scroll vertically when in portrait mode? This would maintain background integrity (ie no vertical lines) and would also possibly be easier to code. On rotate - move icons to their user defined portrait positions, move the menu bar to the top, done. Though obviously it's not that simple :P

No, the patch for this is not currently in the CSSU version of hildon-desktop.

i agree, once this is stable there would be no reason for them not to be enabled (except things like the zoom thing which i think is personal preference) would be nice to have a gui bundled with specific for cssu, easier for end users to customize (although i don't really mind if it is included, for end users i think it should be. why have shiny new extras which you can customize when end users are gonna have some trouble doing it)...i dunno.. just my opinion

I disagree with you, i preffer put the options to the end user too.

The end user who going to install the CSSU, probably have the knowledge (or curiosity to learn how) to use those things, and we are talking that all those things are going to be stables to use and to change without poblems.

I definitely agree with this. I made a similar suggestion back in 2009 (ignore some of the stuff about resizing, as I didn't realise Maemo 5 wouldn't support widget resizing when I wrote it). It might be worth reading that, and the rest of the thread, for some more useful portrait mode ideas.
