Pretty basic setup, but I prefer it that way

Sure pretty basic but it would have been nice to explain how you got this result.

It seems you are using "idea" as appication launcher but how did you get rid off the left side bar ?

Answer welcome.

Regards

Sorry, left the details out

I am running latest OS2006 on my 770. Theme is sgc.white (by =DC=) and background is from deviantart.com. The launcher is Idea, with one icon per row, x-small labels and 32px icons. Statusbar applet is panelclock from maemo.org (I also have the CPU load / screenshot applet). I removed everything else from the home page.

However, I have no idea what side bar you're talking about..! Maybe the theme removed it..?

Hi All,
I just created a wiki page about using the n800 themes on the 770.
Please excuse the mess, I'm new to the wiki.

Very nice. As you seem to have cracked the IDEA! nut that has thus far eluded me, can you tell me where to find the program icons for IDEA!. I'm having a hell of a time trying to configure the app. I've watched the instruction video, but I still have a lot of questions. For example, how do you delete an app. icon. The video shows how to add another icon but it doesn't show how to delete an icon and its associated app.
I do not want Xterm icon on my desktop. Do I have to change the Xterm icon and then change the app. associated with it? How? The video shows an icon folder on the MMC, but, I don't know where to get that folder.

thanks for any guidance you might offer,
Neil

gee! and I thought I did such a good job explaining what applets and status bar apps I was using...

The icons on the desktop are made with the IDEA home plugin

see https://garage.maemo.org/projects/idea/

I believe the dev is rewriting it to make it much easier to configure. right now it is not so easy...

the developer is rewriting the configuration I believe. But for now, this is what I did:

First I used pencil and paper to write down what apps I wanted on a home page launcher
In the IDEA configuration I set it to the Total Icons to how many I wanted.
Also on the Icon Setting tab, I wrote the name of each app I wanted in the order I wanted them. Ignoring the icons shown and overwriting the existing labels
Then pressed Apply button
Then I went to the App Setting tab and pressed Refresh (this then showed my labels from the icon tab)
For each row, I double-tapped it and selected the application to match my label.
ALSO, this is where you check the "Use default icon" checkbox so that it uses the default icon for the app.

use labels, table settings and icon sizes to taste

Hopefully this helps.

There is no way currently to rearrange the icons or to delete one from the beginning or middle. If you want to make a change then you might have to go through all these steps again.

good luck.
