[maemo-developers] gconf / gconftool question

[Tom Wolf]

I have been trying to change some system level settings related to the look and feel of the GUI on the 770, such as font, font size, and transition images. Regarding the transition images (startup, shutdown, nokia logo, etc), I was expecting that I would be able to make these changes with gconftool-2 in this manner:

gconftool -t string -s /system/systemui/splash/greeting_image "<some image name>"

I have hacked images into the /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon directory to replace the current startup / greeting images (eg nokia_logo and hands), but i was looking for a more supported solution, and gconf seemed like the mechanism.

Anyway, i changed the system images though gconftool-2 (as shown above), and rebooted. The images were not updated and there was no obvious impact. I read the keys back out with gconftool-2, and they were still set to the values I set.

Any suggestions or explanations as to what I am doing wrong regarding the use of gconftool-2 to change the system UI?

thank you
