This is a really slick looking app. It's come a long way. Really appreciate all the hard work.
Sorry if my queries have been answered before, I didn't find them asked before.
Currently in HAM when a package is selected to Update, if you go into Details then Description, you'll see the change log notes for that update (if any). Is that available in fapman, I can't seem to find it?
As well I've got a situation right now that according to HAM the extras-devel repo is enabled & there's a bunch of apps to update, but according to fapman it's disabled & there's only one. Are they not supposed to be using the same database's?

I mean fapman doesn't find updates from ovi store apps!?
Is that correct? if yes why? if no, what did I wrong?

Maybe just by renaming/linking /usr/bin/hildon-application-manager to fapman?
Later: Just tried to link ham to fapman, fapman is started, but then I always get a warning that I'm not running the app as root;(
How can I do this?
I'll see what can be done about it in the future.

What I do know is that it was from Extras-Devel/-Testing, since fapman uses only those two on my N900. So yeah, any help?

About the "Theming"... I was surprised to find out fapman is written in QT, given the custom look. Why didn't you use classic buttons in the main screen? Especially that background texture really looks out of place.

EDIT: Oh, and to refresh the icons in the menu after installation, I put this to the postinst file of my packages:
It seems to work... maybe you could run it after each installation? Or is this what you already tried?Code:gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor

Bugfix release 0.5.2
* Don't abort package date fetch on non-fatal network errors
* Fixed: some packages are looked up from wrong directories while fetching dates
* Assume yes on dpkg configuration file overwrite prompts instead of failing
* Re-read package lists only when necessary (I'll try to further improve this in the future)
* Prompt user about package date fetching on the first run
* Fixed: repository enabled checkbox can get cleared while editing the name or url
* Applied patch by qwerty12: Possible to launch the program using dbus
* Use system theme wallpaper on the main screen
* Improved usability of custom stylesheets, loads /root/.fapman/style.css if it exists
* Fixed: package list view gradient colors are wrong with some themes
* Some minor package sorting/UI tweaks
* Show total download size in the operations confirmation dialog
* Added option: default sort order
For those who wish to customize the looks:
By default the main screen background image is the wallpaper 1 from the system theme. If you wish to change it to something else, copy a wallpaper to /root/.fapman/wallpaper.png and it will get loaded instead.
If a custom stylesheet is specified (either on the command line or copied to /root/.fapman/style.css), it will be used instead of the default internal styles. That should make it possible to change the looks of nearly everything.
Some custom-drawn widgets (like progress bars and package list items) won't get affected by stylesheets, but they should now be using colors properly from the system theme.
Documentation: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/stylesheet.html
And like I said, the main buttons have a custom look because the default look breaks when you make the buttons taller than default (I wanted to have bigger icons...)

I think the "Enable date fetching?" dialog would be nicer if it had yes and no buttons instead of just ok.

I really like fapman, and I'm using it all the day
Please, could you add a small "bing" or led blinking or something after the installing of apps is finished? Because if you install many apps, you don't have to check yourself everytime to see when its finshed!
Here it seems to be impossible to install apps from ovi store!?
I mean fapman doesn't find updates from ovi store apps!?
Is that correct? if yes why? if no, what did I wrong?
Also could it be possible to replace the orig HAM, so fapman is started when I click on some "install" buttons on websites?
