-
 
+
-
===Desktop Shortcuts===
+
-
Use the same shortcut twice on the desktops. Manually modify their .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/hildon-home by adding the "X-Multiple=true" entry.

+
-

+
-
 
+

===Using the same widget on multiple desktops===
+
-
The folder /usr/share/applications/hildon contains files that contain info about installed programs. Duplicating these files will result in duplicating them in the shortcut list. However, this will result in a side effect causing the program to show multiple times the programs in the "More.." folder.

===Camera Sound===

-
 
+
-
In /usr/share/sounds the files camera_snd_title_1, 2 and 3 (1 is the camera shutter sound, 2 is the video recording sound and 3 is the focus sound) just replace them with any working wav sound file OR for a SILENT CAMERA just rename or delete these files! <ref name="camsnd">[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=462484 Silent Camera Hack ]</ref>
