[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oyegaurav83:
i think you misunderstood me.. i am doing the same settings.. my problem is that if i set my normal icon size to 32 and used a 48x48 size icon (made using icofx) then it is not recognized. If i set it to 48 (like in pushed icon size) it is recognized. The problem is i have to make two icons of size 32 and 48 for normal and pushed, so that when i click an icon it is shown as pushed.

But i have downloaded 72x72 size icon from a site and while using normal icon size as 32, that icon is displayed by UL and also in pushed icon. That's why i was asking if i am doing something wrong.

and for the full screen, i am using probably 3/4 of the screen.. does it matter??

hopefully my question is clear :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kcguy:
very strange

oyegaurav83,

You're right, I didn't understand your problem completely. That is very strange Ul won't recognize your icons, I haven't experienced any problems. I don't know if it makes any difference, but the reason I asked about your plugin height is because if the plugin can't display the larger icon, then maybe it's because it doesn't have enough room vertically. After reading your post I expanded my fixed plugin height to see what would happen. It still displayed my large icons, but put a scroll bar on the screen, so that doesn't seem to be the problem. I can only tell you my setup, if it helps. I Use DCInoBar.exe to get rid of the bottom bar in windows. I use 58x58 icons for the launcher and 48x48 for the program icons. I set my plugin heigt to 191, which pushes the launcher icons completely to the bottom of the screen. I set "pushed and normal" both to 48 and header height to 58 and everything works fine. I don't know if this helps you at all, but if you play around with different settings, maybe you can find a solution. Post back if your're still having problems, if I can't help you, I'm sure somebody here can.

UltimateLauncher is really good.

Can anyone, please, share some icons? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MaxMotus:
Here are some icons,

Alien - 32x32 and 48x48 for animated use. File names with "s" on end are 32x32 (ie small)

iButton - both sizes too.

iPhone - Smaller untested.

Black & Blue Apple - Again Smaller untested.

Good Luck!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MaxMotus:
I assume you mean the cube rotate on the today screen, if so then this is "ultimate launch"

The HTC Home needs 160 pixels so you need to set the pixel size in "Ultimate Launch" to use 160px + tab size. In my case my tabs are 40px so my overall px size for settings on Ultimate Launch are 200px (Config, Display Tab, "Fixed Plugin Height")

To add HTC Home plugin, (Config, Display Tab, "Tabs") when you have created a "Tab" you can click on "change" and add from the list of today plugins!

Hope this helps!

Kindly pls advise. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] j.a:
Check the Ultimate Launcher Settings. There is a tab that lets you specify the size of the tab. Make sure that it is a large enough space for the icon. Start at 40, if you are using standard size icons.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iceaxe07:
Thanks, it's working fine now.

Hi, I just installed this yesterday and am thinking of purchasing it later on, but had a quick question. I managed to use the HTC home like you did, but unlike the top portion of your ultimatelaunch tab, mine has arrows to the sides. I am assuming that it's indicating the that I have more tabs to the left/right. Is there any way to get rid of it? How did you make it so that yours doesn't show any arrow? Is it because you only have 4 tabs?

Sorry for the questions, still playing with this and trying to figure things out. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MaxMotus:
Yup go into Config and the headers options.

Make sure "Visable Headers" is equal to or great than number of tabs you have setup.

MM :D

Defo worth the purchase! Spoil ya self lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KamaL:
There's an option for choosing how many tabs, if I'm not wrong in the "Headers" tabs. By default it's set to 5, try to increase it as you wish.

Edit: you posted a couple of seconds before me :)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
some icons are made which actually composed of multiple size icons embedded into 1 file. Ul cannot resize icons natively, but if the files actually contain multiple size files, it can use them. Not sure if ICoFX have that capacity but I do recall when you do a batch processing an option box comes up that let's you select which sizes to include in the conversion, try selecting multiple sizes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KamaL:
Anybody knows how to disable the automatic minimizing of all tabs when the program is in the background?? It's really irritating ..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:
If anyone needs to make icons of different sizes, ie; from 32 to 256 px, I can help out.

But please provide the .PNG files to this post. I will help convert and put it in zip file. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] caballero600:
I had the same problem. The fact is that there are some icons that have subicons inside (yes it sounds strange, but its real). So, that icons with multiple subicons inside (they are .ico extension) can be recognised without problem at any size in UL. If you create your own icons, they are only recognised at its that size you created. And something very important: the subicons let you having the same icon for normal and pushed at different sizes!!!!!!

I hope its clear, I'm spanish... and my english... sucks..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kcguy:
Multiple icons!

You guys are right, I didn't even think about the multiple icons possibly being the culprit. I know I have had some that ranged in size from 16-256, but I have always saved them in one size to use in the program. Good catch, and I hope it solves his problem.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ycats:
and is it possible to have the emailcount show unread messages from Outlook?

how do you change the font and size of the clock?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
search for freeware "icofx".

1. import any picture, best is .png (transparent) into the program. icofx asks you in what size, take the original size of your picture. now it is a ico file and you can cut it or paint on it or what else.

2. on the top there is a tab to make subicons of your icon file, dont know how its called in english. make subicons in format xp icons 32bit and choose the size the subicons should be.

3. save your new icon including subicons under "save as" as a icons file .thats it

Hello

Can you help me

tell me How to add the HTC Home

in the UltimateLauncher Tab

like you have

Thxs
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
once advice for those putting today plugins in UL or any program that is capable of inserting Today plugins: get the plugin that you want to insert the way you want it by itself on the today screen before you insert it into UL. Once it is in UL (or any other similar programs), it is best not to make and change and refresh, could cause freezing, soft resets, etc. If you need to make any additional change to that plugin, disable UL and enable that plugin by itself to see your results and then disable that plugin and re-enable UL.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kwickone:
1st. HTC Home Plugin needs to be "unlocked". By default is is "locked" to the top of the today screen. You can do this with the HHC (HTC Home Customizer). There is an alternative method to unlock it via registry key, but I don't know which one. A search should show you the way.

2. Once unlocked, you will need to make sure that you have UL set up to be large enough to accommodate it. HTC Home takes 160 pixels. Also keep in mind your Header tab size as well. Once you have those sizes set, go ahead and add HTC Home to the tab.

It took me a little bit of playing around, but once you get it, it is very cool!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ilordvader:
thxs for Trying :)

but i need step by step instrutions :(

If anyone knows do Post Please
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] supersobbie:
Well I didnt have to unlock anything.... Just uncheck HTC Home from the Today settings. then add a tab and choose plugin. in the list pick HTC Home and then click OK 2 times.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
you can use UI Tweaker for flat dark black bars or RC Mod for glossy black bars or search for glossyblackbars

At least on my unit when you go with glossy black, it is not really as black as I would want, because of the bleeding of light from the glossy part, it makes it more dark gray.

Manilla for UL

Hi guys,

This is the manilla skin I'm making for rlToday and Ultimate Launcher. The rl skin is finished and the launcher icons for Ul, as you can see in the screen. It's still a work in progress, with a lot of program icons to make, but I like the clean look so far.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frenchglen:
Does anyone know, how to get rid of the bottom taskbar so as to fit more icons on? It's a waste of space for only two program shortcuts.

There was a method I found here (using an alpha of a Vijay tool that wasn't continued by him) but it didn't actually allow me to use the space right down to the bottom, it forced the scrollbar to appear when quite clearly the bottom row of icons didn't go past the bottom of the screen. In other words, it hid the bottom bar but didn't free up the space for actual use.

I've seen screenshots with it successfully done but cannot find how to do it.

Thanks, I ended up using PMC Today Shrink. It was a little better than last time, but in order to stop the today screen from showing scroll bar, I had to set ultimatelaunch with a fixed plugin height. I chose 290px, no idea if that's a bad measurement but it works! (after soft-reset)

I "THINK" I found the culprit to why my UL wouldn't start after a soft reset.

I had both TodayAgenda & Weather Panel with "activate plugin on startup" unchecked, I have had no problem with UL showing up after soft reset. Been testing it all day yesterday and it seems to work just fine now.

Btw, does anyone know if I can move the icons to my storage card and still have UL work correctly or having icons on storage card not recommended?

Thanks

Storage card

I have my icons on my storage card and have had no problems.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orchids:
Funny enough for me, the icons won't show up after a soft reset if I have them in my storage card. I'd actually have to run UL Settings before it shows up. Oh well, at least UL pops up when I soft reset now so I'm happy. The icons don't take up THAT much memory... for now.

Finally finished the rlToday/UltimateLaunch manila themes. I don't know about you guys, but I think with Dpad control and the option to change themes easily, this program would be perfect. I use this manila theme and the focaldesign theme, but it's a pain to switch back and forth in UltimateLaunch. RlToday is no problem, because it has a lot of options, including theme selection. Maybe one of you MortScript experts could write a script to accomplish both. I've checked back to the UL site regularly, hoping an update would be forthcoming, but not yet.

BTW, ceelo2007, SPB programs are not very customizable, however, I was able to change the font in SPB mobile shell, by opening the config or ini, I can't remember the structure, but as I remember I couldn't enter any color values, only fonts. Maybe SPB weather is different, I don't know

I have heard a couple of times about this happening on the SD card. The only real solution appears to be formatting the SD card and starting from scratch. A good reason to do frequent backups, eh?

As far as a good ROM for the Tilt, there are LOTS. In terms of 6.1 ROMS, I like Sleuth's v3.0 best and Dutty's 6.1 is a close 2nd. If you want to stick with 6.0, Alex has a new 5.2 version out just today that looks real nice too.

You will typically find the most popular ROM threads near the top of the Kaiser Upgrading forum.

Good luck.
