Description how to edit transitions.ini
To enable the CSSU features you have to edit afile (I use leafpad, but any editor works)
The file to edit is transitions.ini and is in
/usr/share/hildon-desktop/
So the command is :
leafpad /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini
If you use a theme that has a custom transitions.ini file, it will override the one above, so check in /opt/usr/share/themes/[name of the theme you're using]/transitions.ini, if changing the transitions.ini file in the above path doesn't work.
The CSSU tweaks have to be turned on at the end of the file one by one, where there is also a bit more documentation about them.
If you don't see an option there, you need to update the CSSU install (via the application manager). You can check which version you have using System, Settings, About Community SSU.
To apply the changes see the end of this page.
Available as of 20.2010.36-2maemo10 (PR 1.3.3.7-4)
If you want to enable a blurless effect for the background when switching apps, you have to edit it like this
blurless = 1
and for the task switcher layout you can choose 1, 2 columns or the default
taskswitcher = 2
Available as of 20.2010.36-2maemo12 (PR 1.3.3.7-6)
For the alternative rotation effect (spin in place rather than flip), set
zaxisrotation = 1
You can force all apps to (try to) autorotate with
forcerotation = 1
But this isn't likely to work well for all applications (yet).
Applying the changes to transitions.ini
Some of these changes apply as soon as you save the file (which ? - TC), while other require you to restart hildon-desktop. You can do so by turning the phone off and on again, or running as root:
killall hildon-desktop
This will kill the hildon-desktop process, and it will be automatically restarted with the changed settings loaded and applied. Be sure not to "killall hildon-desktop" too often in a row (like several times in one minute), or the system will restart (nothing dangerous, though - just an annoyance).
