Do you have TouchFlo2D v22 (Iolite) installed or a previous version? Only the newest Iolite build of M2D (TF2D) will give you 2 appointments on the home screen.

would be greatly appreciated!

and if its a bell rom would be perfect!

Pocket CM Problem

Hi htctoucher

I'm in a hurry now so can't do a screenshot but when I open a contact in Pocket CM I get "%firstname %lastname" at the top. I'm sure that this is meant to be the contact's name. Is this the program or your skin? I'll post a screen shot later but I thought I'd give you the heads up about it.

Cheers

htctoucher I was having the same problem what it looks like is the lines are there for the voicemail notification but there is no text or icon stating it is a voice mail. So it leaves a blank line and shifts the calendar down. Would love to see a fix for this that showed number of missed voicemails.

By the way this is the first theme I could actualy read outside thanks so much.:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
thats actually one of the main reasons i designed this theme!

cool that someone else caught that.. very high contrast allows much easier reading :D

as for voicemail, ill look into fixing that and just post a fix you can put in your xml

thanks for the feedback!

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
thats so weird.. youre the second person to say they are having this problem

what version are you using?

i am almost positive its not the theme.. as this never happens on my device

maybe look into gettin the language file?

i think i remember someone saying that fixed the problem in older versions of pcmc

let me know

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
that would be really cool :D

Pocket CM Problem - After investigation...

Hi htctoucher

OK, I did some investigations and this is what I found. If I enable other themes they do not have this problem. If I re-enable your theme then the problem is resolved, even after closing and restarting the applicaiton! How wierd.

We'll have to put this down as a temporary solution. I suspect it's a mixture of a bug in the software and something you could do different in your theme.

Cheers

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
its frustrating because i cannot recreate this issue on my device.. and i didnt change anything from my previous themes in terms of firstname/lastname etc

i hope someone with a device with the problem knows how to fix it and will let me know/post it here

really sorry guys who have this issue!

i wish i could help you further :o

I had to do a hard reset and after installing the M2D theme the second appointment doesn't show up anymore. Even after checking my homesettings.xml. Everything seems to be in order, but no second appointment on my home screen. I'm using Hyperdragon HDIV Iolite ROM on my Kaiser.

Any tips?

/edit: The second appointment showed up briefly and then... it was gone. Strange. It appeared when the 1st appointment was almost past due.

/edit2: Forget this message. I'm going to take it further in the M2D thread where i started this discussion in the first place. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tatnai:
htctoucher,

a couple questions/suggestions about the dialer.

1. I currently use PdG's Touchflo 2d dialer. Is your dialer from the same base, designed for GSM phones? Sounds like it. I have his working on my CDMA phone with 911, ##codes, redial etc, and before I switch I'm trying to figure out how much tweaking I'll have do to yours if any. If it's the same base, then the fixes in his OP will apply (and if they are the same fixes you posted - may not be - the smartdial file contains BOTH smart dial and redial fixes).

2. If you redo your dialer, I would suggest a larger footprint for the dialer buttons and less empty grid space. Maybe larger numbers. You are the artist, though ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
yup same dialer

i thought about that.. but then i realized it was too late and id already made the dialer :D

i figure that increasing the size of the buttons/text would really only be a graphical thing, i mean the size of the actual soft button remains the same regardless of the skin, so you know where the keys are, etc

i might, some day, increase their size, but i dont have the time now

we will see :D

hope that helps!

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
this may be because you dont have the right kind of appointment to show two?

i think it has to be one all day, and one normal, but i am not sure

let me know ;)

Hey guys

I made an alternative for the htctoucher's s2u2 based on sid159's layout with the big changing weather graphic.

I just combined the things together so credits to them. All I did was some old fashion "cut 'n paste" in photoshop

you can find it in this post:

===================

okay.. update:

...dialer

AND

i tried, i think this is the first time ive encountered something i just cant figure out.. even after lots of trial and error etc.. its the voicemail in M2D!!

anyway, attached is my attempt at fixing it, please anyone let me know if you fix it completely

what i did was make the voicemail visible, however the THIRD LINE which is the calendar, seems to be rendering really off from where it should be, and i cannot seem to move it no matter what i try

anyway, its a good temporary fix at least

attached is the zip, it also includes an icon for voicemail, just put it in your windows to overwrite the original

what i changed in the xml in case you want to know:

<Property name="IDHMWG_CALENDARBTN2_RECT" id="50" value="0,178,240,260" />

<Property name="IDHMWG_CALENDARBTN2_IMG" id="51" value="46" />

<Property name="IDHMWG_CALENDARBTN2_IMGPOS" id="52" value="27,182" />

<Property name="IDHMWG_CALENDARBTN2_TEXT_RECT" id="53" value="54,164,213,193" />

<Property name="IDHMWG_CALENDARBTN2_TEXT_TIME_RECT" id="54" value="30,164,213,209" />

Hey htctoucher!

I would like to adapt your PocketCM Skin to WQVGA for the Omnia. But it seems resizing the background images is not enough. Let me guess, i need to change something in the settings.ini?

EDIT: Seems like PocketCM doesnt like the zip files i create with winrar. Any special settings need to be done there?

EDIT2: Got it, seems to work now, dont exactly know why.*g* But looks nice! So if someones interested, just let me know.
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
not sure about the winrar question.. i use winrar to make .zips and it works fine!

also, if you need, i have resized my images, all of them, to be compatible with wqvga, vga, and wvga! (look below!)

hopefully they are useful for you

​

have a look!

hopefully someone with a VGA device will be able to edit the ini files to make the skin work especially with vga

enjoy!

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] -Vulture-:
Yeah, they are helpful, of course!

But still, cant get it to work right. I used the graphics for WQVGA you provided above and the ini-files from the standard QVGA version of your skin. They are all in one zip file and i can load it. But the detailbackground.png for example is still to short for my screen, or at least its rendered to short, cause the file itself is 400 pixels in height. So i got graphical errors on the bottom of my screen. Besides the new WQVGA graphics is there anything i need to change? Cause the standard QVGA layout works like a charm, except the background files.

Thanks!

any chance of you skinning pointui home2 and opal phone canvas? great work so far looks awesome
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
really? that shouldnt happen if you are using the x400 in height detailbackground.. maybe youll have to post on tene's thread with a screenshot and the ini file attached so he can take a look

sorry! ive tried to figuer out the detailbackground before and i just dont get it :D

thats a lot of work :p!

home2 is unlikely.. unless i start to use it which i really dont think i will, or if i get some donations

opal phone canvas.. how is it different from the one i skinned?

do you have a link?
[Windows Mobile Themes] -Vulture-:
Ok, no problem! Could you please give me the link to the thread you mentioned above? Cause "tene" and "PocketCM" returned a little bit too much results in the search :D ...

Big changing weather icons

Hi MFx

How do you get the big changing weather icons?

Thanks

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Themes] MFx:
Hi Andrew,

I think you better can ask sid159 he made the basis for it. All i did was changing the graphics. I know that the canvas size of the image used for the weather needs to be 240x240 pixels. And he makes use of the M2D weather icons copied to a weather folder in S2U2. But for the rest i didn't have the time to get in to it more.

Hcttoucher your a design god :D

but unfortunately the fixed/resized files you provided for PCM contact wqvga (omnia) are not working corretly!

But i managed to fix / resize them to get the theme working as intended :)

no i can enjoy it with my omnia ! pretty awesome :)

now i will try to fix the theme for galarm since the normal qvga version isn't working on my omnia :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
just curious, which files exactly weren't sized correctly?

thanks for making the skin work with wqvga!

I will probably link to this from first page

thanks again :D

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] endursa:
first i tried your theme, but there was almoste every header mashed up so i tried the original qvga version, and there everything worked except that the background image wasn't "long" enough! so i just had to edit all the Background images! pretty straight forward besides the detailbackground.png file ! in this file only the bottom background has to be resized!

so i just altered the files bg.png, bgl.png bgsms.png detailbackground.png and detailbackgroundL.png ah and the buttonsbackground.png!

all the settings can be left as they are!

i haven't found any bugs yet :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] -Vulture-:
Hm nice one, but doesnt work as it should in landscape, everything QVGA there. And in the contact details i have a mysterios kind of overlay-effect. Im in the details screen with the "edit" and "note" buttons, but the background picture is overlayed with a picture from the main contact list where you can scroll through your contacts. But its only barely visible, maybe 5% at all.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jonbus:
Great as usual Htctoucher!!

Have you ever think skinning the Phonecanvas app? just like PaulDG did http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=477670&highlight=phonecanvas

A Gloss phonecanvas skin will complete the package!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] endursa:
ah ok i see i didn't check the landscape mode cause i usually don't need it, but i seems only to be a problem with the headers and bottom graphics to be not "long" enough

but i can't reproduce the strange overlay effect your talking about ?!?!
[Windows Mobile Themes] endursa:
second attempt for the wqvga fix :D

this time i resized all the top an bottom files for the landscape mode to! and tested it, it seems to work now !

to the strange transparency, i can only say i removed the alpha layer of the edit backgroundfile with gimp maybe this helps! could you pls give feedback?

edit: updated cab name and removed first fix cab in the post above!

....new sms landscape graphics from htctoucher's zip, so the "characters used" text isn't teared ;) and landscape sms progress bar added

[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
did you use any of the graphics i resized :D

you shuold, because some i didnt just resize, i actually redid for the wqvga dimensions.. i cant remember which now

but, if you dont experience any tearing in your graphics, then i guess it doesnt really matter! :D

nice work!

linked to first post ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] fracmo2000:

[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
the files i uploaded on that post are for people that want to make the settings.ini for PocketCM Contact so that the files will work on the designated resolution

just like endursa did for wqvga!

hopefully someone will edit the vga/wvga settings.ini's (someone who can test it/use it on a vga/wvga device) so that the theme will work with wvga/vga!
[Windows Mobile Themes] endursa:
yep i used the button background and for the detail edit background i used the lower part, so it's not that teared!

still the sms landscape graphics (character box and progress bars) are from you! cause character box text wouldn't look that nice when i just streched them!

thx for linking it, but credit still goes to you :D

sure he did *ggg* that's why i remebered it in the second place ;)

icontact 9.1

just wondering if you have plans on making a gloss theme for iContact 9.1 not the burt edition . :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
well， to be honest, i use pocketcmc, its great and i love it

i have no plans to switch to icontact, so its not a priority to skin it, of course, joining my golden list and using a special request will move this to a higher priority

i dont mean to demand money, because i dont believe in that as this is a great community and i like contributing for free, since all of the apps i use are free

but, like all other developers/skinners i have limited time and am forced to prioritize what i work on, which is why i set up the gold list for users to encourage me to get what they want done first. doesnt have to be much as i say on the post, just enough to let me know you care and so that i can have a more organized way of deciding upon what to spend my time on

hope that makes sense

:D

Hi htctoucher

Do you have any idea why this is happening? (Screen shot attached) This is the default position of the word "Calendar" when there are no upcoming appointments to display. Better still, any ideas on how to fix it? I've looked through your .xml file and can't see any obvious errors.

Is there anyone who actually got the GAlarm skin to work?
[Windows Mobile Themes] endursa:
I also have tried the g-alarm skin, an it doesn't seem to work , the bottom buttons seem to be transparent, and the wallpaper isn't loaded!

taskfacade works pretty well on my omnia without any resizing! but there could maybe a problem with not beeing full screen, but that doesn't bother me really!

But i'm shure the throttle lock skin doesn't work for wqvga out of the box with the qvga skin!

So i made a new wallpaper for wqvga!

But to work correctly in landscape we would need a 400x400 pic for wqvga or an option to change the wallpaper for each mode!

edit: ok i found out that in the g-alarm skin is no wallpaper but the strange thing is, i added a wallpaper to the folder and it still isn't loaded oO ?!?
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
ahh.. i keep forgetting to update galarm to actually have the wallpaper!!

well, workaround, simply place the wallpaper.jpg from s2u2gfx folder in your gloss folder in galarm!

or go into settings with galarm, and find s2u2gfx folder on your device and select wallpaper.jpg

that works too

sorry guys.. i will try and fix that galarm skin, but this workaround is all that is really necessary as it is the only thing i forgot!

load only:...................................................logo only:

.......

these two animations are made to go together, so i suggest you use the full animated gif, but if youre concerned about saving space, i broke the full animation into the above two steps

@ghostsurfer.. for some reason i cannot reply to your PM, as it seems you have disabled receiving PMs or something..

you can edit the name on your desktop

or.. if you cannot get to a computer, i believe you can go into "properties" with total commander or resco and change it from readonly, if it is readonly

instead of changing its name, it would probably be easier to change the registry name

i am not sure why you arent able to edit the file name, you should be able to

use total commander or resco explorer, not the default file explorer!

hope that helps!

you could always resize it, but it will lose a lot of quality

sorry!

if i had a vga device i would definitely be making vga stuff
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
yeah i really tried to fix that, but it is so weird whenever i change to show the voicemail, then without voicemail the calendar moves.. i tried to fix them to both look right but it seems one or the other for some reason..

too bad, but i think its easy to just use the version of the xml without voicemail, i mean if you get a voicemail, you go and listen to it and then there is no more problem on the homescreen.. plus this then encourages you to listen to your voicemails more promptly :D

thanks man!

if you send me a mortbuttons skin i can whip one up, as i remember those are pretty easy to do (4 images i think)

glad you are all enjoying the theme!
