Fremantle Community SSU – Preview (screenshots)

The work on the Maemo 5 Community SSU continues apace and should be ready for primetime very soon. I thought it would be informative to showcase some of the upcoming features in the form of screenshots

Improved tactile feedback with the Community SSU

The latest version of hildon-desktop features experimental support for improved tactile feedback. What this means for you is that if you enable this feature, you will “feel” app menus and dialogs appearing and disappearing, just like on some Symbian^3 devices. It’s disabled by default, but you could give it a try and see if it improves your experience

Community SSU features to look forward to

I’ve been writing some patches for hildon-desktop (the window manager on Maemo 5). For some of the more useful ones, I’ve reworked them to be configurable via transitions.ini (and disabled by default), so they can be merged into the Community SSU .
