Did you install the patched hildon-status-menu?

Skip the desktop steps; i.e:

Code:

wget http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/maemo/debfiles/portrait/hildon-status-menu/hildon-status-menu_0.3.39+0m5_armel.deb
dpkg -i hildon-status-menu_0.3.39+0m5_armel.deb
killall hildon-status-menu

Control panel is not related to the desktop.

Nope, just the one in this thread. I'm installing it now. I'll edit this post once I've done it.

Alright, done it, seems to work fine. I've got the 6-line long portrait-status now, thanks.

MohammadAG/thp a very nice mod. It's very unintelligent to force the n900 to work at blurring the background making it virtually impossible to make out details on anything but the selected window. I wonder would it be possible to have the selected window have a lesser opacity 0.7? Providing the possibility to see possibly vital information below the in focus window?

You can edit /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini, the part that has radius and radius_more is what you want.
Change those 2 to 1, and play with brightness and saturation.

Hey Mohammed!

Im a bit stumped to get this working with your previous hildon patch, the one with Kinetic scrolling + Matans desktop!

The deb you stuck on here doesnt wanna overwrite schemas and dpkg isnt liking it! Just errors encountered message! Whats am i doing wrong?

P.s. is there any way i can get portrait status bar working aswell without losing kinetic scrolling and Matans desktop?

Thanks!

OH AND A BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG THANKS TO THP

This seems AWESOME!!!!!

Yes, because there is no need to blur iteratively multiple times (which is how the blur is implemented AFAICT).

i will use it as its faster, thanks!
just wasnt sure if it had any uses other than looks..

also, all this needs is to be combined with single column thumbnail multitasking ! ultimate MOD then!

THANKS thp and MAG

I assume you have rootsh installed. If so, type root in X-Terminal. If not, install it from the Extras. Now type gainroot in X-Terminal. After that:

Code:

dpkg -i /location/of/file

That should do it.

I had the same, in my case it was because I already had a version of Modified Hildon-desktop with the same version number installed. After uninstalling that it worked.
