I'd wondered about that, and in Serenity want to reduce it to just a rectangle - personally I don't like the look of the extra layers. (granted I've still got a ways to go before I've finished the theme, and many remnants of the Illume theme still remain) Bit by bit I've broken out portions of the Illume edc and #include them (keyboard, config, shelf, etc) which has made a huge difference in my ability to figure things out. Once I'm fairly happy with Serenity I have an ever-growing blog article on the process that I'll post for anyone interested. (as with my other OM-related posts it will be released for cut'n'paste to wiki if someone wishes) My overall goal for the look of my FR is lightweight and dark (similar to ASU theme) with digital clock, Illume battery, keyboard and config, etc, plus 128x128 Oxygen icons. (I plan to opkg the icons soon, probably this weekend - given the scale I prefer I'd like to use the 256x256 but they're just too damn much to display and scroll well) >> >> Also, a bug: I usually have icon size set to 'very large' for the >> launcher, (which makes this problem far more apparent) and have noticed >> that if I try to finger-scroll too close to the bottom and hit an icon >> whose icon image is not fully on-screen, it will ALWAYS select and > launch >> instead of scroll.

Also, while I've got you 'on the line' as it were, where is the power control themed? (IE when I press power button, the menu that appears with suspend, lock, etc) So far I've been unable to locate it... :( And finally, what would it take to display each icon in the launcher as an icon with text to the right, one per line? not sure if I'd be happy with it or not, but wanted to try and haven't figured it out yet. Many thanks.
