The new style doesn't seem to go along that well with one of the standard themes (Nseries).

On a very light background the text would probably not be visible at all?

i use the Milky Way image set, so i have an nice dark background
But now i do get the default shown in #252 background (and then the buttons are not really readable anymore). Can there be image set support? or should i just copy something over my self?

what about saving repository list separately within fapman, loading the correct ones in startup and reverting to old ones when application is closed?

this is pretty major conflict with system package and needs to be fixed if you want to get this to extras.

This is a valid "bugtracker" according to the wiki... I'll switch to a real one if the app ever goes to extras.

Repository lists of fapman and HAM are already kept separate, HAM restores (or should restore) it's own settings when it does an update. It might be the shared apt cache that causes the "conflicts"... I guess the only sensible way to prevent that is to do a full backup copy of the cache dir.

I had a version that faded the background so that the buttons were more readable even with light backgrounds... but I somehow thought that someone's going to complain about that too

Maybe I'll restore that behavior so that a default wallpaper gets faded but a custom one won't.

At the moment you should copy a custom wallpaper if you're unhappy with how the default one looks. That's what the feature is for

Edit: Argh, maybe I should revert back to simple plain standard background with normal, smaller buttons...

I think you should change it to look for:
/user/home/.backgrounds/background-1.png

That way if user changes he's wallpaper for desktop1 it's automaticly applied to fapman. Filename is also always the same, so no more issues if theme is bundled with jpg -backgrounds instead of pngs.

what i would do: default simple plain standard background
But if you see a wallpaper in your install dir of fapman then use that one..
(or even make it selectable in the settings menu)

Currently the only way is to use the web browser button - it should open the package's maemo.org website with the changelogs in the web browser.

They do not share the repository settings, fapman uses it's own list of repos. They are read from HAM only the first time the app is run.

Thanks, Got it now.

I know this isn't the Qt way, but all the apps I have themes for have a subfolder under my app called themes, and each folder is a theme. It should contain buttq.png, butt2.png, back.png and maybe a text file that has x, y, dx and dy for each button. And maybe a line for theme author/description. Easy to implement, easy to modify.

If I remember right, I've mentioned this before. Every time when I launch the network-connection to my N900 I get the original Application's Manager to check for updates to repositories that it doesn't even use. I've removed Extras-Devel and -Testing-lists from the Application's Manager and moved them to the fapman instead. This happened again today, when I booted the device up (which was odd and first time that it'd happened). Tha same thing happened again during the writing of this post.

Also I think the fapman is missing something from it's lists, since I can't seem to find that update for rootsh anymore. I know it's there since I haven't updated it (unless the original author pulled it off?) but it isn't showing up for some reason.

And yes, I've updated the catalogs.

Qt can already load your graphics files from a path relative to your stylesheet file. I won't implement a custom theme engine if that's what you're asking, IMO that would be a huge waste of time.

Can you find the package if you choose the "all" status filter? If yes, what information is displayed for the package?

Yes I can. I'll get a list of all applications (installable, removable and upgradeable) and for example, rootsh is installable (which I already have installed) while as Plastic Theme Pack is removable but not upgradeable. So most likely fapman can't find all installed applications and thus ignores those updates?
