Add this to your application's conf file to squash complaints about no view for SeasideListItem: [SeasideListItem] default = MWidgetView The following are styles I tested with for using SeasideList, making it match other People app stuff. You can find card-bg.png in the meego-handset-people project. #SeasideListItem { background-image: card-bg 0 0 0 2; padding-top: 0.5mm; padding-right: 0.5mm; padding-bottom: 0.5mm; padding-left: 0.5mm; } #SeasideListItemThumbnail { margin-top: 8; margin-right: 8; margin-bottom: 8; margin-left: 8; border-color: gray; border-top: 2; border-right: 2; border-bottom: 2; border-left: 2; } #SeasideListItemName { color: #667786; pressed-color: black; font: "Droid Sans" 24; font-weight: "bold"; text-align: "left"; vertical-align: "center"; padding-top: 0.5mm; padding-right: 0.5mm; padding-bottom: 0.5mm; padding-left: 0.5mm; }
