| - | ==== Editing transitions.ini ====
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | To enable the CSSU features you have to edit a file (I use leafpad, but any editor works). '''After any CSSU update you have to do redo the edit or restore the backed up file (read below)'''.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | The file to edit is <code>transitions.ini</code> 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 <code>/opt/usr/share/themes/[name of the theme you're using]/transitions.ini</code>, 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.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | After an update to the CSSU, the old transitions are backed up in /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini.old, so you can restore them easily. However, if there have been two or more updates since you last did this, the .old one wont contain your changes. There is a bug logged to improve this behaviour.
| + | |
| - | You can restore this saved copy using
| + | |
| - | mv /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini.old /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | To apply the changes see the end of this page.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Most features go under the [thp_tweaks] section present in transitions.ini at the bottom of the file after a CSSU update. However, if you use your own transitions.ini files (for example from MaeModder), this section will not be present and you must add it.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | [thp_tweaks]
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Entries under other sections have this indicated. Add them at the end of that section instead.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ===== Applying the changes to transitions.ini =====
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Some of these changes (taskswitcher, zaxisrotation, forcerotation) apply as soon as you save the file, while others (blurless) 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).
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==== Blurless ====
| + | |
| - | If you want to enable a blurless effect for the background when switching apps, you have to edit it like this
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | blurless = 1
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==== Task switcher layout ====
| + | |
| - | and for the task switcher layout you can choose 1, 2 columns or the default
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | taskswitcher = 2
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | More details and some demo videos of these features are here : http://thpmaemo.blogspot.com/2011/02/community-ssu-features-to-look-forward.html
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==== Rotation effect ====
| + | |
| - | 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 [[Community SSU/Features/Portrait mode|work well for all applications]] - and never will. The [http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=953421&postcount=969 point of forced rotation] is to make it easier to identify the apps which are:
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | * Closed source but work well. A "white-list" will be developed and included in a future CSSU so that these rotate out-of-the-box.
| + | |
| - | * Open source but work well. These will have the appropriate flags added to their source in the git repos.
| + | |
| - | * Open source but nearly work. These will have the appropriate flags and changes added to their source in the git repos.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Therefore, unless an app falls into one of the above categories, please do not raise bugs in the CSSU.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==== Zoom effect ====
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Zoom press just does a quick little zoom out and back in again with you touch certain things, such as an icon on the home screen or the main top menu in applications.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | [home]
| + | |
| - | zoom_on_press = 0
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==== Home screen parallax amount ====
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | 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
| + | |
