N900 - Howto remove shadows from desktop icons
If you tried a nice theme on N900 and dislike the shadows under the desktop icons,
you probably will like that little tweak:
You can remove the shadows from the icons by changing the name of the following files on N900.
1. access X-Terminal
2. type in following:
$ sudo gainroot
$ cd /usr/share/themes/Actual_Theme/images/
$ mv ApplicationShortcutAppletPressed.png
ApplicationShortcutAppletPressed.png.old
$ mv ApplicationShortcutApplet.png
ApplicationShortcutApplet.png.old
3. reboot your device
You can easily restore the your settings by renaming the files back
to the extension .png.
to restore
1. type in following:
$ sudo gainroot
$ cd /usr/share/themes/Actual_Theme/images/
$ mv ApplicationShortcutAppletPressed.png.old
ApplicationShortcutAppletPressed.png
$ mv ApplicationShortcutApplet.png.old
ApplicationShortcutApplet.png
2. reboot your device
