For beginners
For power users
Led notifications
Detailed description for modifying LED -notifications can be found in LED patterns -article.
Themes
Available themes can be installed straight from Application Manager. If you want to make your own theme, see below.
There is an application for making themes to Maemo OS2008. This will be updated as soon as possible to cover also N900 and Maemo5. See article Maemo Theme Maker HOWTO
Wallpapers
There is already n900wallpapers.com for wallpapers. Unfortunately, you need a .desktop-file if you want to configure panoramic wallpapers.
Example of a .desktop -file:
[Desktop Entry] Type=Background Image Name=Deers Hidden=true X-File1=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/deer1.png X-File2=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/deer2.png X-File3=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/deer3.png X-File4=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/deer4.png X-Order=01
There will be an application for wallpaper handling to be released (hopefully) soon. See Prismic wallpaper manager
Shortcut to multiple desktops
DISCLAIMER: This is for Power users, and operations are potentially dangerous. Please see General precautions for further information.
Use the same shortcut twice on the desktops can be useful. In order to do it, you have to manually modify appropiate .desktop file by adding the "X-Multiple=true" entry into the file. See Desktop file format for further information.
Welcome screen
It is possible to edit hildon-welcome. A howto is available here. Examples: "Open source. Open heart. Open future.", "The Power of Open."
Advanced customization
Here will be a section of advanced customization for power users. Those operations are always potentionally dangerous!
