I'm trying to build my own skin, but when i add a row it doesn't show op when i try to select it. Only the 'date' row is selectable. All images are stored in the right map. I'm not a pro in XML. Maybe i forgot something. I'm using the last beta version of HomeScreen PlusPlus UI.

Here is an simple example of two rows. Any help will be appreciated.

I've installed Home Screen UI 1.06 and mort script. Than the Skin .

when I tap the speaker icon, proram memory and storage memory icons I receive an error: impossible to open the file process
[Windows Mobile Themes] GIANRY:
I'd like to change the clock look too. when I tsap the "888" icon I receive an error "impossible open clock file"
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
And you installed HomeScreen PlusPlus and Floyd and MortScript 4.11b7 to DEVICE?

Try to uninstall and reinstall again everything to DEVICE. Its would be working! ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] GIANRY:
should I solve the issue about the clock format too ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] _Alex:
Vagyunk azert meg paran. ;-)

Clear, very useable, totally professional! Congrats!

A.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
If you installed everything properly, clock style change button (888) working too. Just tap on button and wait 7-8sec.

But if you have error window after tap on button, then you have mortscript problem or directory path problem.

Check in your "\Program Files\HomeScreen PlusPlus" folder here is you need the "Floyd" dir and Floyd.xml file.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:

Thank you very much for your reply!

In HS++ Build 0334 Ikarus rearranged the animations and the floyd v1.4 animations not works with Build 0334.

v1.5 coming soon!
[Windows Mobile Themes] bdbell:
Hi Raulka,

First off - want to thank you for such a great theme - it is very well designed - my favorite by far! Thanks so much!

I have modified it slightly - but, somewhere along the line I screwed it up! I use Flexmail, also I made it a bit more finger friendly, and changed the carrier slot to show the monthly GPRS data usage, but I am having a problem with this - when I boot up with the Floyd theme selected - the data_month does not show up, but if I switch to another theme, then disconnect and re-connect the data - then switch back to the Floyd theme - it works. Also - if I boot up into the other theme, then connect data, and then switch to Floyd theme - it also works - so it works OK - but not if I have Floyd theme selected on boot?

I have attached my current Floyd.xml theme file, as I said, I am using Flexmail, and also Pocket Weather (have disabled it in uploaded theme file).

Not sure what I am doing wrong here - hope u can help!
[Windows Mobile Themes] _Alex:
I may found a little bug:

original line 299:

<image src="Smallicons\Backlight%d.png" width="24" left="192" />

but it doesn't change the backlight-pics for me.

I modified the big S to lowercase and it works now:

modified line 299:

<image src="smallicons\Backlight%d.png" width="24" left="192" />

(My Wizard's backlight values are 0-4 so I had to rename some Backlight_x.png too.)

I see lots of capitalized path in the xml but i think they are working... so I'm not sure maybe it's because of my rom?

Anyway it's working sweet! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Thanks man!

In v1.5 I'm organizing this with capital letter in xmls and in path names too in all versions.

In backlight settings almost every types of pdas different. But I think very easy to edit the settings, just a little modification in backlights pngs names and malval cycle.lnk and voila :-) I have 5 release at now and this is too much, I don't want new releases (e.g. with ASUS backlight setting)
[Windows Mobile Themes] _Alex:
My pleasure.

Actually i would suggest use lowercase everywhere but it's ur decision. :)

sure. I think your howto is good enough. There is no need more redundancy.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
I think that, the problem is not the capital "S" just the mixing of "smallicons" and "Smallicons" in one xml. Need to work with capital "S".

In my device this is not problem working with mixed too... Strange, but I want to organize to capital...

Could you try to me with "Smallicons" everywhere in xml?

Thx!
[Windows Mobile Themes] _Alex:
Sure.

replaced all lower s with upper S, and it's working. Quick fix, indeed! :-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Thank you very much!!! ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Sorry, after first look I don't see what's the problem with your xml...

But I'm very happy because you use and modify Floyd :-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Guys!

I'm glad to announce the v1.5 release! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] _Alex:
Wow! Fast development! :)

(what can u update in this perfect piece of data?! :)

Is it possible to download it in plain zip instead of cab?
[Windows Mobile Themes] _Alex:
I found a bug there:

In line 149 you closed the comment at wrong place, and u lost a "</Row>"

I suggest put the "-->" before the "</Row>"

(Personally i prefer the comment's start and end parts in a new line, but it's just my style.)

i hope it helps a bit.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Sorry, I know, copy from zip is faster.. But, I think that, the *.cab file is more popular for most people than *.zip.

I read a lot of threads and if somebody releasing in zip, than comes the replies "where/how can I install", "I installed but not working" etc.. But with cab files not installation problems. :o
[Windows Mobile Themes] iksiksiks:
great app! many compliments & thanks for sharing!:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] _Alex:
It's ok. I have solved this already. :)

Thanks your hard work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] d4g:
Thanx

Hi floyd i dont want to open a new email client the same one but different acn email not outlook.

i have an acn of 3mail and when i click the icon it open outlook email.... then i have to click menu then go to 3 mail..

i would like it to when i click the icon to open 3 mial acn.. not outlook just wondering if this is possible..

hope i made sense

Denis
[Windows Mobile Themes] d4g:
quick one floyd you have the same pda as me...

x800 running 1.80 panot release...

r u running igo8 ok...

i try but with all the tweaks just seems i cant get it kicking....
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
xxx! Thanks for your opinion!

Hi Denis! Sorry, but I not understand what would you wish...

Yeah I use iGO8. Before I use iGO8, I switch off today plugin and soft reset PDA. After restart I have 28-29MB free RAM. Thats enough in QVGA mode to iGO8.
[Windows Mobile Themes] d4g:
ok ill try to explain..

when i click the mail icon it takes me to outlook e-mail inbox

the prob is i dont use out look email for email.... so the inbox is empty....

i then have to click menu while in inbox of outlook and click my other acn which is 3 mail.....

i was wondering can it be done as to change which acn opens when you click the mail icon.... say 3 mail instead of out look mail..

Hope this helps
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Ohh Well, I understand you!

Here is the solution:

You need to edit the \Program Files\HomeScreen PlusPlus\Floyd.xml file with a texteditor:

find and change

ontap="InboxMail">

text to:

ontap="StartApp" path="\Windows\tmail.exe ::-service "[B]Your Email Account Name[/B]" -open"inbox"">

Attention! Copy and Paste this row and Type your email account name case sensitively!

and make this change on all of two ontap="InboxMail"> texts. After this save the changes, reload Floyd theme and Voila :-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tyguy:
Floyd - Your theme rocks!!!

Just played with it but I'm unable to get the power drain to work and to be displayed on top. Any hints?

Edit:

Perhaps to be more specific, I can live without the CPU load icon and would like to have the battery drain instead BUT me - being stupid in that regards (LOL) - not able to do it

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Hi tyguy!

First of all, my name is not Floyd, just my theme name. (Because when I thought what would be the theme name I heard Pink Floyd :) )

Sorry, Powerdrain isn't in the theme, because on Eten devices this is not working. Furthermore I think that this is not an important option...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Oh thank you for your attached picture! I didn't see the QVGA version in real QVGA device yet.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tyguy:
Sorry Raulka for the name mess up and welcome for the posted QVGA picture, I'm having a Tilt/Kaiser and your theme rocks. I played a little bit with the script comparing ChiTai default with yours. The function works but looks ... BAD with crucked overwritten font etc.. If I find a working solution since the Tilt supports this function I'll post here.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Super! Waiting for accomplishment, and thank you for your opinion about Floyd theme!
[Windows Mobile Themes] ong9:
Great theme for me

Hi Raulka,

Even my phone can't overclock by batterystatus but I choose it because of your theme.

However I don't like to use window messege live. so I try to modify the xml file to change the order to run some screen lock program. Do you have other icon for other program which I can change it to match with that program

Regards
[Windows Mobile Themes] tyguy:
ong9

Application launch on that icon is fairly easy.

Example:

Replace in the MSN section

<!-- MSN -->

with what you want (I launch fring). Careful all is case and space sensitive.

<Item absolute="3" class="registry_tracker" ontap="StartApp" path="\Storage Card\Program Files\fring\fring.exe">
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Thanks ong9!

I hide in Notification dir 4 extra button pictures: WEAT, SYS, PIE, NET.png but these are not the best for screenlock progs...
[Windows Mobile Themes] tyguy:
@Raulka

Screen one is with a CPU load indicator which "works" but freezes my phone (2nd item)

Screen two is mine with terrible display )1st item)

I replaced the "phone_signal" with "powerdrain" but....

If you need the scripts, let me know
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Yess! This is working, but little buggy, because you left the MSN registry_tracker. If you like to make a simple program launcher button than you not use "registry_tracker" just "space" as same as in <!-- PROGRAMS --> section.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tyguy:
Cool, so far no hangs, though...will update tomorrow.

Time to catch some sleep (you saw the local time on the screenshots and now it's 30 min. later :eek:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] iksiksiks:
i tryed to integrate Spd Weather today plugin into HomeScreen++ Base (with Integrate Today-Plugins function under Options->Advanced) but unfortunately this seems to block the application and the pda itself :(

just to let u know...like a bug-tracker ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
I tried PocketMusic today plugin to integrate in Floyd and its worked in 1. and 3. rows too. I didn't try spb weather, but if that not work this is not theme problem I think.

You can use spb weather plugin below or above the Floyd Base version without integration.
[Windows Mobile Themes] iksiksiks:
yes, it's exactly what i have done..thanks anyway ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ong9:
Thanks for reply Raulka,

Yes, I just copy the <program> section and change the link of the program ,

only picture problem that I can't solve since I'm not familier with photoshop or any photo editor . currently your "sys.png" file 's my choice. but If you have more picture I think I may use it to add ( notification 1d and 2d section) .I really love this flip idea since I don't want too much button in the screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Send me pictures what would you like in buttons and I'll make those.
[Windows Mobile Themes] senthilsss:
Great Work! Need a small help...

Excellent job! I really love this theme. :) :) :)

However, I am facing one strange problem. When I enable "Today Agenda", I get a vertical scroll bar on the extreme right. Not sure why? Can you please help me to get rid of this? This is not the scroll bar of "Today Agenda". This is a full screen scroll bar in the right hand side of the entire screen.

Please note the vertical scroll bar vanishes as soon as I switch to pAlarm. Not sure what is the setting I should do to get rid of this :)

Let me know if you need the screenshot.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Ok, this is not a big problem, just a little TodayAgenda setting:

In TodayAgenda settings have to set the plugin height to 190 (in case of VGA device) or 95 (QVGA).

After above softreset your PDA and voila :-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tyguy:
Small issue. If the unread email count goes > 10 it's displayed incorrectly, just a single digit (at least in QVGA).
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Yes, thanks!

In the next version I'll improve this small issue, meanwhile you can decrease the fontsize in the Notifications section of Floyd.xml.
[Windows Mobile Themes] senthilsss:
Great! Thanks. This helped me to get rid of the Vertical Scroll Bar.
[Windows Mobile Themes] JrCsG:
Hi!

Vagyunk még egy páran, akiknek tetszik, amit alkottál! :)

GO on! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Köszi szépen!

Thanks! Next version (maybe in this weekend) with hide bottom (softkey bar) and top bar option.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tyguy:
Cool would be to have all notifications in one bar (mail, sms/mms, missed calls, contacts) and others as enable/disable WiFi, BT etc. in the second one OR the choice to say Bar 1 items "Mail, BT, SMS, Missed Calls" Bar 2 "Wifi, Clock display, Contacts" as example. To keep things simpler always for options not 2 not 3 not 5.

That's just a suggestion, not a demand.

Appreciate the work of Raulka very much, Homescreen is on the edge replacing my mobile shell ....
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
I worked hard on new version! :)

v1.6 released!
[Windows Mobile Themes] tyguy:
Raulka

Great work mate - thanks! I made my changes to call iContact and fring and just play with the Today Plug-in to find out if I like it or not. Backlight switch, though nice doesn't work for me too much screen property taken wont load next to the today plug-in and I don't like scroll bars on the Today Screen.

I looked in windows and everywhere but couldn't find how I can assign the mail account chooser. An other option would be to get SPB's mail behind (see screenshots) since not all emails go to the default email account.

SPB shows the amount of emails in the corresponding account but ...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
in Floyd.xml find and overwrite

ontap="InboxMail">

to:

ontap="StartApp" path="\Windows\tmail.exe">
[Windows Mobile Themes] tyguy:
I tried that but wasn't able to figure out what app SPB is starting to come to that screen which I posted. Furthermore what's the app for the mailchooser?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
I don't know, but I think this is a builtin SPB app and not standalone file...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Qazer:
How I make delete date and add seconds? I had install (base version) HomeScreen PlusPlus UI and Mortscript and theme Floyd. After this install and choose neon clock, today screen look like thus:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Hi!

Just a simple click on the clock!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
I plan in next version (v1.7) working GSM signal bars and working battery level icons! :) 2-3 days about
[Windows Mobile Themes] alisilove:
I will wait !
[Windows Mobile Themes] Qazer:
Hi! Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
I released v1.7. GSM signal strength indicator and battery level icons are working good! :p This version is perfect for me yet. ;) Maybe this will be the final!

Please a quick reply if you use and like it or you have a problem, write your version (QVGA/VGA/Full/Base) too! Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] tyguy:
Raulka

Cool new icons, like the battery charge prong - LOL

Quick question:

You call under <!-- Clock1 --> and <!-- Clock2 -->

the control panel (asking especially regarding the alarm (not PAlarm).

Would it work to start my SPBTime changing "onhold" to "StartAPP" or even keep "onhold" and adding the path to SPBTime?

Thanks

I found a little issue in v1.7: under 30% battery level, the battery icon not works properly.

At now works only Battery level NORMAL and NORMAL+CHARGING states.

But not work LOW, LOW+CHARGING, CRITICAL, CRITICAL+CHARGING

I fix this issue in next version.

Please write me if you found any other bugs and I will fix it in next version.

Thx
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
My plans to new release v1.8:

- bugfixed battery level icons under 30%

- PSShutXP

- big graphic update

It will be big work, 1-2weeks about. This will be marvellous, with much beautiful variation. Maybe with new theme name. Please give me tips for new name.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tyguy:
Hi Raulka.

Didn't work either (see screenshot) replaced all under clock 1 but ...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Then you need to make a link file (spbtime.lnk) in Floyd\Smarttools which is point to \Storage Card\Program Files\Spb Time\SpbTime.exe file. And in xml you starting the lnk not the exe!

Direct exe links usually works from \theme or \windows folders only.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tyguy:
Cool I'll try that - so I consider myself lucky that fring worked.

Thanks mate, will let you know.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Raulka:
Coming soon:

v1.8 - bugfixed battery level icons under 30%, big update: 4 notification rows, 4 beautiful button types, 2 beautiful lamp icon types (in full versions), PSShutXP, ShantzTodayChanger integration. With Button, Icon and Clock changer buttons you can set 4x4x5 = 80! different variations in one theme!
[Windows Mobile Themes] tyguy:
@Raulka

Hi there, still love your theme and was tinkering a little bit with it.

Row 1: Cellsignal/CPU load/FreeRAM/Battery

Row 2: CPU, Battery temp./Powerdrain/FreeMEMDevice/FreeMEMSD

Used the temperature and SD icons from chi-tai's original and copied them in your "smallicons" folder that I didn't have to change the default path.

Only issue, in the original BatteryStatus it switches temp C to temp F on tap (I'm metric so C doesn't bother me) but I couldn't find out HOW you can get that switch to work.

Cheers

Ty
