… to give everyone a chance to become a member of the Holy Order (see https://together.jolla.com/question/11050/ambience-something-for-esoterics/) …

Although I still believe, that the concept of creating and configuring Ambiences needs an extensive rework, I want to share my knowledge about it in this How-to. Correct me, where I am wrong; add, where I have missed something. For better overview, I will subdivide this into several answers.

What Ambiences are

Ambiences are a means allowing you to switch quickly between different sets of settings. As of the moment these settings include:

• Background image/color
• Volume of notification sounds (e.g. ring tone, alarm clock’s alarm etc.)
• Tunes allocated to certain types of notifications

(Further settings to be included in Ambiences will come up with future Sailfish releases. For the future of Ambiences see https://together.jolla.com/question/397/screenborder-swipe#9299 by Jaakko Roppola, the Jolla chief designer.)
