[edit] gconf settings

The cssu stable branch comes with default settings that are considered stable, you can enable various features by tweaking the following settings:

[edit] hildon-desktop

  • Enable rotation of Task Switcher, Launcher and desktop (remember to rearrange your widgets and shortcuts in portrait, hildon-desktop saves that layout seperately) 
gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/ui_can_rotate -t bool true
  • Enable vertical scrolling when in portrait 
gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/scroll_vertical -t bool true
  • Enable portrait wallpapers 
gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/portrait_wallpaper -t bool true
  • Disable the application menu editor 
gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/menu_edit_disabled -t bool true
  • Disable the desktop editing 
gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/disable_edit -t bool true

[edit] others

  • Make the FMTX applet always visible 
gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/maemo-statusmenu-fmtx/always_visible -t bool true
  • Change the number of rows in the status menu 
gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-status-menu/view/number_of_rows -t int 6
gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-status-menu/view/number_of_rows_portrait -t int 8

[edit] transitions.ini

transistions.ini is a human readable configurationfile, that is usually located at: 

/usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini

unless you have a custom theme that overwrites it, then you have to look for it in /opt/usr/share/themes/[some themename]/transitions.ini

[edit] Applying the changes to transitions.ini

Some of these changes apply as soon as you save the file, while others require you to restart hildon-desktop. You can do so by turning the phone off and on again. Running killall hildon-desktop is not recommended, since hildon-desktop does not come back in a 100% clean state.

[edit] [thp_tweaks]

This sections is at the very end of the file and contains most of the settings

  • Activate blurrless desaturation, blurrless activates it and blurless_saturation keeps the colour 
blurless = 1
blurless_saturation 1
  • Change task switcher (0 = default. 1 = single column, 2 = two columns) 
taskswitcher = 1
  • Activate z-axis rotation 
zaxisrotation = 1
  • Activate forced rotation (all apps except the ones in blacklist get rotated 
forcerotation = 1
blacklist = mediaplayer osso-xterm worldclock image-viewer camera-ui

[edit] others

  • Set paralax

Parallax is when you scroll across desktops and the icons scroll faster than the background, making the icons appear closer. A larger number in the transition.ini file for parallax and the faster the icons will move. 

[home]
parallax = 2
  • Activate zoom effect when pressing the screen 
[home]
zoom_on_press = 0
