It's part of the edje setup for the main screen, in illume.edj. (well, that can differ - I've always installed illume-config and illume-config-illume) You can think of the .edj file as a theme package of sorts, although it abstracts more UI handling out of the program than traditional theming. In OO fashion it separates all the user interaction into the edje file, with the main application interacting via signals to change UI or respond to user actions and triggers generated by the UI itself. You can set up in the .edj file to support changing icons triggered by signals from 'outside', and emit signals when some UI interaction (IE, click the icon) takes place. I'm interested in doing something similar with USB, showing whether it's in host or device mode, networking vs mass storage if device mode, sending or expecting power, forcing 500mA or 1000mA charging, and ability to change all the above. The program edje_editor is great for taking a look at such features. It's part of the E17 desktop setup, I've been playing with it in the developer VM I'm working on. It takes the intact .edj file and extracts all the configs, images, etc from it and gives you a nice WYSYWIG GUI editor. BTW - I printed out the actual text config from illume.edj, it's about 100 pages long... A simpler starting point to learn your way around .edj and edje_editor is illume_init.edj, the startup theme. (second view of the boots, with the green scanning back and forth instead of indicating percent progress) It's quite easy to drop in a different background image, redefine the animation, etc this way. (Now what we really need is a tool running ON the FR that decompiles the main .edj file and lets us replace wallpaper, etc - basic customization, not full-on UI redesign work) j _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
