Resizing GPE Calendar on OS 2007

OS 2007 - as introduced on the N800 - lets you resize home screen applets. The default size of the GPE Calendar, IMHO, is too large and although it can be recompiled to shrink the size, it can also be resized dynamically on OS 2007.

As root:

Nokia-N800-51:~# cat >>/usr/share/applications/hildon-home/gpe-calendar-home.desktop <<EOM
X-home-applet-resizable=XY
X-home-applet-minwidth=230
X-home-applet-minheight=40
EOM

Restart your device and edit your layout to suit.

  1. I have Nokia 770 with latest 2006OS.
    Would you show me how to change the desktop GPE Calendar applet window size to make it smaller and can also show scroll bar as needed? Thanks.

  4. If you get "Permission denied", you're almost certainly not switched to the root account.
