Matchbox tweeks -- from itt

all credit goes to qwerty12 from internet tablet talk

As root run:vi /etc/osso-af-init/matchbox.defs.You will be presented with (this is also the default if you mess up):

Code:#!/bin/sh
# matchbox.defs - Matchbox defines
TITLEBAR=yes
DESKTOPMODE=plain
LOWLIGHT=no
SHOWCURSOR=yes
DIALOGMODE=static
MBTHEME=$DEFAULTMBTHEME
SUPERMODAL=yes
if [ -f $HOME/.osso/mbtheme ]; then
MBTHEME=`cat $HOME/.osso/mbtheme`
fi

What do these options do?I will only go through the options that worked and the ones I have
tried.TITLEBAR:
Default is yes
Controls the bit with the title at the top
Change TITLEBAR=yes to TITLEBAR=no.DIALOGMODE:
Default is static
Controls the movement of dialog boxes
Accepted options are: free static const-horiz This mod lets you move around the dialog boxes! You see when you press on a window bar, it goes transparent? Now you can drag them. This can be fun for rotation

Constant/Consistent Horizontal:
Change DIALOGMODE=static to DIALOGMODE=free or DIALOGMODE=const-horiz.

SUPERMODAL:
Default is yes
Controls whether supermodal dialog boxes (ones that make you give an answer to them before letting you do anything else) can take priority.
Accepted options are: yes no
Change SUPERMODAL=yes to SUPERMODAL=noI also have a thread on changing your device name too.Some notes:Changing DESKTOPMODE=plain to decorated is pointless but does something.Changing LOWLIGHT=no to yes makes dialog boxes have a black 3d square thing. Not as cool as it sounds.No idea about this one SHOWCURSOR=yes. (Yabbas says it may be for blinking text cursor.He was right about supermodal)Leave MBTHEME=$DEFAULTMBTHEME as is. $DEFAULTMBTHEME is a variable pointing to your current theme set.
