Patch Messaging Landscape Orientation

Landscape Orientation in Messagin app: /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/

first file we should edit is /app/controllers/compose-assistant.js around line 390 u will see this:

  var ComposeAssistant = Class.create({
   }
 	this.setCharacterCounterMaxLength();
   },

add this code right under it

	orientationChanged: function(orientation) {
		if (orientation === "left" || orientation === "right") {
			this.controller.sceneElement.addClassName('landscape');
		} else {
			this.controller.sceneElement.removeClassName('landscape');
		}
	},

once you are done it should look like this:

var ComposeAssistant = Class.create({
     }
 	this.setCharacterCounterMaxLength();
   },
	
	orientationChanged: function(orientation) {
		if (orientation === "left" || orientation === "right") {
			this.controller.sceneElement.addClassName('landscape');
		} else {
			this.controller.sceneElement.removeClassName('landscape');
		}
	},
   
   cleanup: function() {
     var that = this;

now save and exit. next file we should edit is listview-assistant.js same directory. around line 212 under var ListviewAssistant = Class.create(App e in the line:

this.controller.setupWidget(Mojo.Menu.commandMenu, {}, this.cmdMenuModel);

edit it so that it looks like this then right under it add:

this.controller.setupWidget(Mojo.Menu.commandMenu, undefined, this.cmdMenuModel);
			
	// enable free orientation
	this.controller.window.PalmSystem.setWindowOrientation("free");

should look like:

var ListviewAssistant = Class.create(App
 		items:this.commandMenuModel 
     };  
 	
   this.controller.setupWidget(Mojo.Menu.commandMenu, undefined, this.cmdMenuModel);	
			
	// enable free orientation
	this.controller.window.PalmSystem.setWindowOrientation("free");
 	this.filterField = this.controller.get('filterField');
 	this.buddyListHeader = this.controller.get('buddyListHeader');
     this.controller.setupWidget('filterField',{filterFieldName:'filterFieldElement'},this.filterField);

then around line 409 above handleCommand: function(event) { add :

		
		orientationChanged: function(orientation) {
		if (orientation === "left" || orientation === "right") {
			this.controller.sceneElement.addClassName('landscape');
		} else {
			this.controller.sceneElement.removeClassName('landscape');
		}
	},

this is how it should look like:

 			}			
 		}
 	},
		orientationChanged: function(orientation) {
		if (orientation === "left" || orientation === "right") {
			this.controller.sceneElement.addClassName('landscape');
		} else {
			this.controller.sceneElement.removeClassName('landscape');
		}
	},
 
 	handleCommand: function(event) {
     	// handle menu button command events

now save and exit your all done

next would be to fix the chat balloons and the text box size so we get into /stylesheet/messaging.css once there look for .their-chat .message-container and .my-chat .message-container around line 645 and change the widths to 95%. should look like this:

.their-chat .message-container {
	width: 255px;
}
.my-chat .message-container {
	width: 280px;
}

after that go down to line 820 and look for #messageContainer { make it so that it looks like this:

#messageContainer {
	position: fixed;
	bottom:0px;
	left:0px;
	width: 100%;
}
