Contents

additional Packages

The cssu stable branch currently contains one additional package that is not installed by default. The package can be installed with HAM or with apt-get.

package application section description
status-area-orientationlock-applet Desktop Hildon statusmenu plugin to control orientation lock (lock to landscape)

gconf settings

hildon-desktop

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

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

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

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.

[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

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
