HOW TO: Change the time color on your home screen

chris5h · 09:45 AM

First off, you need to have a rooted pre.

1) SSH into your pre and use these two commands:

Code:

sudo -i
mount -o remount,rw /

2) Back up the file your going to edit

Code:

cd /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/
cp systemui.css systemui.css.bak

3) Edit the file "systemui.css" with Vi

Code:

vi systemui.css

4) Look for the line that starts with "#date-and-time {"
Under that, add the line "color: #00ff00;" with whatever hex color you want. See below for an example.

Code:

#date-and-time {
		color: #00ff00;
		position: fixed;
		margin: 1px 0 0 0;
		top: 0;
		left: 0;
		height: 28px;
		width: 100%;
		padding: 0;
		text-align: center;

5) Remount the filesystem as read-only then restart Luna

Code:

mount -o remount ro /
stop LunaSysMgr && start LunaSysMgr

Enjoy.

How do you change the EVDO/wifi colors?

chris5h · 08/11/2009, 03:42 PM

You have to change the image files.

What line is this on? Went through about 1200 lines, don't feel like sifting through 3400+.

DNic · 08/11/2009, 04:30 PM

Well I know why I couldn't find it. You have the wrong file listed

/usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css

Is the correct one. Thanks for the info though!

Is that where you found it? I am going to look now. Like specifically at line #43?? But that doesn't have color?!<--- sorry about that, read the post a little closer! haha, got it!

chris5h · 08/11/2009, 04:59 PM

Your right. Fixed my first post.
You can search in the file though with Vi:

Chris5h needs to change the OP (within the code part) to have the systemui.css file NOT THE bar-assistant.js file. One has to modify the systemui.css file. At line 43 you will find the #date and time

hit the esc button then type :wq then enter.

BTW it is not necessary to remount as you need to reboot for the changes to take effect. Upon reboot the file system reverts back to RO automatically.

Instructions for changing the 'Sprint' text in the upper left to any text string can be found here or at webos-internals.org. Search for 'Change Carrier String.' Sorry i can't post links yet.

OneDeep · 09/01/2009, 06:08 PM

...how do I add the file that I back up?

imtravis · 09/03/2009, 12:20 AM

I was able to make changes w/o rooting.. (I haven't rooted mine yet), using WebOS Quick Installer, and Crimson Text editor. I recieve the files to change, edit them in Crimson editor, then send them back.. I then use novacom -t open tty:// command to connect to my pre, and do the stop LunaSysMgr and start LunaSysMgr...

thierthierel · 09/06/2009, 06:54 PM
