not working well with task facade

when i use task facade, the waitcursor keeps on flicking continuously to the default windows and the marshall one. maybe a bug that has to be fixed? aside from this, it works perfectly with all the other programs. at least, for now.

does anybody know how to fix this? i appreciate the help. thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uniqueboy:
Ok check these out, but need some photoshop skill to remove watermarks, not so hard I think!:)

Yeh, hammertime wtf.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jhw549:
Awesome! I wouldn't even know where to start though to extract the flame from the shockwave file... I found what I was looking for though "Flame Element 3" is almost exactly what I had pictured... Help? lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joshzzz2001:
hi! what time delay did you use to solve the problem with taskface?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr_deimos:
Note that you won't get a realistic _and_ transparent flame effect with normal alpha blending. You'd need additive blending for that, and it's not supported by MWC. Anything you'll throw on the screen will look dark and/or with washed out colors. The only way to get a nice looking flame now is to put it on a non-transparent background.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jhw549:
That would be fine with me, I just can't seem to find anything that will work for this purpose...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr_deimos:
Ok, here you go. If it's running too fast, just increase the frameDuration parameter in conf.mwc3 file (it should be the same for every frame). There might be some artifacts on the picture, because it was mostly automatic work - i didn't feel like retouching every single frame by hand.

You could always start from scratch. There's a nice fire generating script for GIMP:

http://fence-post.deviantart.com/art/GIMP-Animated-Fire-Script-84921148

usage:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94308QQU-Q8

In the attachment you can see what this script is capable of. It took me about 15 seconds to create this. After some tweaking you will surely be able to get a even better flame effect. Now that i think of it, a cool cursor could be made to look like a open furnace door or a fireplace with fire burning inside - might be some starting point for you ;)

thanks alot it looks great

Using the Kaos wait cursor as a base, I made a QVGA and a VGA set using the HTC logo.

jmckeejr's Energy ROM skinning of the default wait cursor provided me with the initial idea.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] evorgevol:
I too have the same issue. Also with LockMeLite, it always shows the standard WM wait logo constantly while it is locked. And as these are two of my most used apps, it's quite important to me! :)

Thanks for a great app otherwise tho!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marshall07:
@mr_deimos: thanks for your work. About the bug for the 63 frames: conf.mwc3 must be

less than 2000 chars

. The program will read only the first 2000 chars of the file. It is a performance limit since MWC1.0.

@joshzzz2001: please set the

cursor timeout

(for example to 4 seconds)

@ghintx: Thanks for the cursor :)

@evorgevol: What is you

boot delay

? Try increasing it.

NOTE: my hosting server is

under mantainance

. Please be patient.

EDIT: now it seems to be

up

again. Thanks for the patience :D

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] evorgevol:
I set it to 40 seconds which has fixed the issue with LmL, and sort of fixed the issue with TaskFacade.

Ok, changed the delay time to 1 second too, and now Task Facade works normally too :)

I'm now a happy camper!!

Thanks a lot,

evorgevol

mr deimos

I've used the diamond white icon to create a cursor with conf file. I've done up a blue and red one. Do you mind if I post it here to share with all?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr_deimos:
As i said - fell free to modify and redistribute :)

@Marshall - does the 2000 char limit include comments? Can the max number of frames be extended by removing the comments?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sian:
Diamond Blue and Red

Here goes.. Hope you guys like it.

By the way, the colour changes a bit as it rotates.. It's not uniform colour throughout.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marshall07:
Yes, the limit include the comments.

I can increase the limit to 4000 chars in the next version since it seems to be a reasonable value.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr_deimos:
Looks good, and the glossy effect is a really nice touch :)

I guess it won't hurt to do that, at least as long as nobody tries to do a fullscreen cursor with 120 frames for WVGA resolution ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uniqueboy:
Can anyone do anything with this gif?... I liked it any way.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jays99:
This looks like a cool app. Can't wait to give it a try. 1 question! I have an idea for a cursor, unfortunately, I have no clue how to make it. I was wondering if someone could whip up a Metallica Ninja Star cursor. I've seen gifs where it spins. That would make a great cursor.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nik3r:
That's pretty cool stuff you got there, can't wait to try the update :)

I will make some more cursors when I have more time ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:

i used to have that as a screensaver when i was in middle school i think hahah

This App is awesome.... Also on a side note, this is working on the Mystic 6.5 series ROM for the Raphael.

Here is a MobileMatt wait cursor in QVGA or VGA depending on your device.

Enjoy....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marshall07:
Is it WM6.5 in the OS in Mystic 6.5 series ROM? Because I thought that MWC3 couldn't work on WM6.5! If so, this would be a wonderful news!

Thank you for your cursor mchapman007!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chronster:
Ok I thought I did this right but everytime I go to select my cursor MWC crashes. Can someone take a look at my files and see what I'm doing wrong?

I went through each frame and made this transparent (so its just the black)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nik3r:
I have the same problems with Lumos, it doesn't work on most modified WM 6.5 ROMs because they are probably using older versions of Da_G's Kitchen but if you use one of the latest Da_G's builds it resolves all issues. I think the same holds true for MWC3.

Shocked by the earthquake in L'Aquila

On 6th April a terrible earthquake shoked my town. I was there. Luckly I'm fine. My family, my girlfriend and her family, too! All my friends are fine... Our houses are built with anti-earthquake technology so they didn't collapse! We were able to take some clothes and food and we moved to Perugia (300 km from L'Aquila). My girlfriend's sister is hosting us in her house here in Perugia.

It's been an horrible experience. I was sleeping and I jumped under my bed during the earthquake. We have been very lucky if you think that other people lost their relatives, friends, houses...

I will not be able to follow this thread and MWC3 in the newxt days, but in the meantime, please continue contribuiting with your works!

Hi Marshall

Good to know that you and your family are ok.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TorbenKB:
double post - sorry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TorbenKB:
Similar thing happens for me on my Kaiser. Sometimes, without rotating the screen, I see the default wait cursor instead of the MWC3 one. Have tried changing delay, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Hope you can look into this, once you get back home. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GadgetFreak:
Glad to hear that you and your family are alright. This has made worldwide news and we are all following what is going on. Be safe!

As Marshall's website is currently down (I would imagine due to the recent earthquake; glad you and yours are ok), would it be possible for somebody that has previously downloaded MWC3 and the cursors to post a mirror?

so what exactly did you do?

did you create the 3d hand?

spend about 50 hours on it?

then render its animation?

or did you simply use some program to rip it into frames, delete the bevel and add your name to the theme

I really understood you pasted the gif here to be converted into a cursor for mwc3. Which I did.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Roupette:
By the way, Marshall, is there a way to refresh automatically the background of these transparent cursors, because each time we display another window while the cursor is still running, the background around the cursor stays the same of the first window. I don't know if I'm clear :s
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marshall07:
At the moment it's not possible. It's a limitation of MW. I've some ideas for a possible solution but I it's still an idea. I've to investigate on it and then test it... Maybe in the future!

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Roupette:
Yeah I was sort of aware of that WM limitation wich explains why MS did a white square around the circled wait cursor... :s

My devices are Motorola Q9's. One is a Q9m flashed to the Verizon Q9c ROM. The other is the A4500/Q9n/Napoleon. MWC3 works well on both "non TouchScreen" devices. The first creations are for older versions of MWC. The images can be used by making a config.mwc3 for them.

hi can someone tell me if this works on WM 6.5? Because it's not working for me. I'm using Energy's Mercury ROM build version August 1st for HTC Touch Pro (GSM). I have setup everything and chose the khaos Vista animation, but when i go into the Windows folder or load a program, it doesn't show any animation at all. Also, it seems to freeze my phone after 3 or 4 seconds.

On the front page, it says it's working on WM 6.5, but i read some replies on page 3 - 5 and some people said it's not working on their WM 6.5, so i'm kinda confused as to whether it does work or not.

Lastly, can someone plz share the purple infinity blob animation used in Energy's ROM build version July 21st? His page is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=536751

The wait cursor animation is similar to Microsoft's Silverlight, i think it's part of Microsoft's symbol or logo for one of their products but i can't remember exactly what. It's purple and the symbol/logo looks like the infinity symbol (oo).

The wait cursor animation is made by cmylxgo, i've sent him a PM message weeks ago but he's probably too busy to reply or doesn't want to.

Unfortunately, the build is not available anymore on his homepage or in his topic as he only updates new build links, but if you search on Google you can find the download links. Here is a page i found:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marshall07:
Hi chaoscreater,

I don't have WM6.5 installed so I can't test it. Some users are reporting that it works in their WM6.5 while some other users tell that it's not working.

I guess it depends on the kitchen used, or the build... Could you test it on another WM6.5? Which settings do you have in MWC Config?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chaoscreater:
Well, i'm using Energy's Mercury Rom build 1st August. The build version or number is 23016.

In his topic, his current build as of now is codenamed Warhawk, but he updates the name every 2 or 3 builds but it's the same topic.

I'll try and test it on another WM 6.5 when i do update.

The settings i currently have are the exact same as shown in your screenshot on page one.
