Rotated tabs not supported by Hildon
I previously reported (in June) that rotated tabs on notebooks do not look right. I learned recently that they are not supported in Hildon even though they are supported in GTK and Nokia does not plan to support them. I was told that it should be possible to work around the problem by modifying gtkrc (in /usr/share/themes/default/gtk-2.0/). I have found in gtkrc where the theme is specified for tabs on top of the notebook. I have found the images (in /usr/share/themes/default/images/) used to create the tabs. I suppose that I can rotate the relevant images using a suitable bitmap editor and I can guess at some of the changes I need to make in gtkrc. But I'm wondering: - Has anyone already solved the problem of rotated notebook tabs? - Has anyone solved a similar problem that I can use as a model? - Is there documentation for the theme engine? I found http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/gtk-Resource-Files.html, but it only mentions the engine keyword without explaining the engine-specific settings. - What do I do with the modified gtkrc to make my changes appear? - Am I on the right track? -- Jeffrey Barish ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
N800 Internet Tablet and Unlicensed Mobile Access
All, I would be interested to know if anyone is working on a client to run on the Nokia N800 that would enable the N800 to connect to a mobile network via 802.11, or so-called Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA). As some on this list are aware, T-Mobile offers a service called T-Mobile [EMAIL PROTECTED] and, in fact, Nokia, is one of two suppliers of dual radio handsets (the other is Samsung) that work with this service. I suspect that in order to get a software client to work with such a service whether it is that of T-Mobile or, some other service, it would be necessary for the client to be able to read the contents of the service providers SIM card for the user wishing to authenticate to the mobile network. Here, for your information, is the url to the www page at the T-Mobile (US) www site for the service offering: http://www.t-mobile.com/promotions/hotspotathomelearnmore.aspx?WT.mc_n=HotSpotatHm_index&WT.mc_t=OnSite and for the supported handsets: http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/default.aspx?compatable=false&features=09AA7BB4-2A36-4CE3-B01A-3BF12F93DC78 -- Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Feature request tabbed desktop.
With the limited amount of screen space available on the N800 and friends I'm finding I want more home applets running than I have space for. Would it be possible to have a tabbed desktop so one could have "Home" and "User" desktops and be able to switch them in the top "Home" menu. That would be totally awesome. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

ALSA recording works better, but still doesn't quite work in latest ITOS2007
Hi, Though I know that GStreamer is the preferred way to do audio capture and playback on Maemo, I couldn't resist trying out the ALSA support that is built into PocketSphinx. On the previous release of ITOS2007 it didn't work at all - at a certain point during initialization, reading from the device failed and the program exited. This time, to my great surprise, I actually managed to calibrate the voice activity detector and capture some audio. Unfortunately this audio sounds pretty strange. You can hear a sample at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dhuggins/Projects/maemo/n800_alsa_sample.wav I'm wondering, is the ALSA driver supposed to work correctly now, and am I just doing something wrong, or is recording still known to be flaky? My ALSA recording code is at https://cmusphinx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cmusphinx/trunk/sphinxbase/src/libsphinxad/ad_alsa.c ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: Does the 770/N800 xserver accept tcp-connections?
Thanks for your answer, Well I thought more or less that would be the case, I just thought double-checking with the list would not be a bad idea. > However, what is your use case for this? In most cases, if you are > accessing a remote X client, you are doing so by SSH (at least I should > hope so!) and in that case SSH's X forwarding will work without opening > up the TCP server side. The idea is to not have to link against xlib which means bridge-code, whereas the runtime I intended to use of-course has support for tcp on linux. lg Clemens ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
