Re: a very nicely pimped freerunner theme
Hi Marco, Looks nice! Here are some updates for the original/default theme in terms of application icons. Perhaps something for the next FDOM release. https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2086 Regards, Pander Marco Trevisan (Treviño) wrote: > Yorick Moko wrote: >> Does anybody know where I can find the necessary files to pimp my >> freerunner like this one: >> http://scap.linuxtogo.org/files/a021c845b2f5bc5f98e3b6a78ad925f7.png ? > > I uploaded that screenshot theme, it was done by CarloRatm, an Italian > user.

You need to decompile and alter the .edj file itself, which is what the download found in the link above contains - an altered .edj file. The .edj file is a collection or archive of possibly several files, including images and even fonts in some cases. Along with the visual definitions and elements, it includes programmatic statements controlling interaction between GUI elements and between GUI and application. For instance, the dialer may have three 'program' triggers written into the edje for each button - change GUI to 'pressed', change GUI to 'released', and add digit to number. Unlike traditional ideas about theming, this interaction is defined in the 'theme' instead of the application itself. This allows for unprecedented flexibility insofar as 'theming' - you can change button layouts, graphics, even add some features like 'delete last digit' all within the .edj instead of having to burrow into sourcecode. If you want to play around with edje themes there's two approaches AFAIK: 1 - edje-decc to decompile the theme back to config files and images and what-not, manually edit the aforementioned parts, and recompile with edje-cc. These two tools should be available in your friendly package feed for your Freerunner as 'edje-tools' IIRC, and possibly for your desktop linux. 2 - edje-editor. I've installed e17 from CVS on Ubuntu using easy-e17.sh, (http://omicron.homeip.net/projects/#easy_e17.sh) did so under my vmware development environment. Edje-editor comes with the works in that case, I don't know how available (or recent) it is in prepackaged binary form, however. It's important to keep in mind that the editor (and indeed E17 itself) is not finished at this time. It works, quite nicely in some regards, but has some flaws and some distinctly missing features. (like it can't remove a no-longer-used background image from the .edj file, that currently requires manual intervention) If you're interested in using the editor, check out http://wiki.enlightenment.org/index.php/Edje_Editor and the blog post I've been working on the past few days at http://jthinks.com/retheming-with-edje for an introduction to things. (my blog post is documenting my recent efforts retheming the dialer within SHR, though as I point out in the article the process applies equally to anything utilizing Edje, such as the launcher and top shelf) Also check the 'EFL Documentation' thread running the past few days. (EFL=Enlightenment Foundation Libraries, and includes Edje) j ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
