Probably a stupid question but how can i get some of those skins to actually work as part of the XDA shutdown on my HD2?

I've saved to SD card but after i extract how can i get the actual skins to show on the XDA shutdown instead of the plain enough skin im using do i copy and paste the PNG somewhere or something?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamadorj:
According to my experience, you just need to copy all the files of the new skin to the same directory where xdaShutdown is installed (replacing the files of the previous skin).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
Surely you just need a skin in the correct resolution? if you say one that you want then in a few days ill do it but there are soooooooooooo many skins that its hard to just make one ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jonny68:
the original file is instaled on my SD card but when i click on the one ive downloaded it's just a black screen
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rodricaama:
Actually, the skin you use me as a bit ...

All I want is to restart my pda a bit faster (and more comfortable)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
You use CHTeditor? Then you have a shortcut for "restart the phone"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
Ok well ill just edit one and post if for you then.

And i dont think they can as it a hd mini, HVGA and therefore nothing works for it (or little) :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rodricaama:
Thank you very much, I'll be waiting!!

Hey guys, I was looking for a skin for this to put on my TP2 and couldn't find one I liked. So, I made one and thought I'd share......

I personally created all images in GIMP, I apologize if there are any similarities to others'. There are 2 sets of buttons, one with squared corners and one with rounded corners. Enjoy!

PS... The code for landscape is in there. However, I am unable to get it to work on my phone. If someone can look and see maybe what I did wrong, I'd be grateful. Not really a big deal though. BTW I'm using Timberwolfs Max 1.5.3 Beta ROM from over at PPCG (Think this may be part of the problem with landscape not working). Thanks, and enjoy the skin. If I make any more, I'll be glad to post

shutdown method Not working for O2 Atom pure!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cristi_ninca:
That's a good idea (the one with the MortScript to change the skins). Thanks. :)

To make the script run regardless of where you place the "xdaShutdownSkins" folder you can use in the script:

XCopy (SystemPath("ScriptPath")&"\..\SkinFolderName\*.*","\Program Files\xdaShutdown", TRUE )

instead of hard-coding the folder path.

This also allows people to change the name of the "xdaShutdownSkins" folder and the "30Scripts" folder as well (but not the name of the folder where the skin is placed).

Cheers

EDIT:

OK, I spent a couple more minutes and I have created a small script (based on Phonatic's scripts) that will allow to browse to the folder where the skin files are located, select the skin folder and it will apply it to xdaShutDown and start the program with the new skin. This way you can put all your favorite skins in a folder (each skin in it's own folder, of course :)) on the storage card (for example) and use this script to pick the one you want to use today :) and you don't need a separate script for each skin. It's very basic, but it does the job :)

You'll need MortScript installed to run it.

Have fun

Stand alone icons in the start menu

Hi,

I have an HTC HD2, and I've installed your application with a skin and it works greaaaaat!! (used the xdaShutdown 1.01 - WVGA.cab)

My question is,

Is it possible to have start menu icons for each function separately?

I mean a start menu icon for the followings:

-Backlight

-Sleep

-Soft reset

-Power off

Your work rocks,

I'll be waiting for your feedback.

Thank you.

I wanted to cook this app into my rom, and made the package fine. But I wanted to know if there's a way the long press power on by default instead of requiring to use the menu in the app?

Just update the Long Press Shortcut in your ROM to run this. I can't recall what it's called (I'm at work now)... it's in \Windows though.

Sorry, this app is abandoned.

I don't have the time, energy or resources for it anymore.

Loosing the 1.01 source was the nail in the coffin for it. Anyone wanting the 1.00 source can PM me, but it's not pretty (1.01 was :o).

My Version of voyd's Dice Skin.

Credit's to voyd for the original graphics!!

Here is my "take" on voyd's Dice skin. I have added a landscape and some hidden buttons. You touch the screen where required from screen shots and button shows. I use it on my TP2.

This version will open in portrait or in landscape.....It will NOT rotate between the two....sorry.

It's a shame that the "source" for this app was lost and updates stopped :(.

WVGA....Enjoy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Vladimirus:
Well, you probably already know this but the shutdown does not work on i920 Omnia 2. When pressing "shutdown" the message, "cannot find shut down method" appears on screen. The other two functions, sleep and reset, work just fine.

NICE!!! Downloading right now! Thank you, THANK YOU!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kyderr:
I did it by using Tarkim's keyboard controller and adding it to the arguments line. Other method would be to create a .lnk file with the command.

I would love to see a method to shut down without touching the touch screen. My HTC TP2 Likes to crash. and when it does the hardware buttons work, but no others... I have it set now to shutdown when I hold power, but it would be nice if you set something up so that once you do the command, (in my case, long end key) that if you do that again, (Long power) it would shut down ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mgog718:
Thank you! I love it! Sometimes my HD2 goes wonky and I have to soft reset it but can't get to any relevant screens. I used to use Touch-it black but then I hard reset it and just never reinstalled. I also have BSB but don't know any way to set the misc and other toggle buttons to the start menu for when the screen flips to landscape mode while I'm holding it portrait. Also the sleep and lights out buttons are great! Thanx again!

SHUTDOWN (turn off) not working on LG Fathom

Hello!

THANKS for a very useful and customize-able app and for all the hard work that went into it AND to all you "skinners" who have added to it!

Just wanted to add to the list of devices that don't shutdown when asked to!

LG Fathom (VS750) running latest WinMo 6.5.3.x

There IS a "ShutDown.exe" file in the /Windows directory and it does turn off the power, completely shutting down the phone, like a long-press of the power button, but xdaShutdown does not seem to find it.

Of course "reset" and screen blanking work fine; "create long press power" shortcut does nothing that I can see.

Can you help?

Would just like to get the "shutdown" option working...

THANKS!

Yeah, Sadly, Dave abandoned this project some time ago. Here's a simple one with my trademark picture. (HitMan for the record) you just need the xdaShutdown app installed. take the files in zip and swap em with the program folder ones. ScreenShot attatched. I miss seeing everyone's breathtaking screens.....sigh. ne way enjoy. The Jackal
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thejackalsmark:
Here's Two more.

Here are two more variations. 1 black buttons, the other one, hidden buttons. same directions as B4. The hidden buttons become visible as you slide your finger across the screen, up n down. just lift finger off screen to activate desired option. both are qvga. Also, you can replace MY background.png with your OWN. Just make sure it's 240x320 png. EASY. have posted screenshot of black buttons. hidden has Different style long buttons.

Nothing Spectacular. Just simple elegance and functional.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] coolpixs4:
---------------------

Thanks Dave for excellent soft !!!

@jebep and others

you can manually do it by yourself

Open xdaShutdown.exe in HexEditor => look for Unicode string ' PowerOffWarning.exe' => edit it by replacing ShutDown.exe the remain by just use "Space" key or change to 00 00 00

=> edit it by replacing ShutDown.exe the remain by just use "Space" key or change to 00 00 00

=> SAVE it and then copy back to your phone

Now when you press shutdown button on xdashutdown program it will call Shutdown.exe then turn the Power Off your mobile

this trick can use for any device, which use private program

Such as:

Omina2 i8000, SCH-M715, Omina i920,...ect ONLY instead of PowerOffWarning.exe, it is PowerOffMsgBox.exe or what ever apps of PowerOff

Find your own shutdown program in \Windows folder

This is mine xdashutdown WVGA version (both portrait and landscape mode) (SCH-M715 model): DOWNLOAD

I said I would do a Windows Mobile 6.5 Theme, based upon the honeycomb start menu, so I have.

Here you go kids, enjoy :rolleyes:

As with the rest of my skins, its QVGA, but Im so proud of it, Im planning on making other resolutions available.

Probably do them tomorrow.

EDIT:

btw, the exit button is the whole top bar, but only the x on the right changes when pressed :)

I was tempted to replace the word "Lock" bottom left with "Sleep" but I didnt in the end.

EDIT AGAIN:

Fail, I now realise the bottom bar with "Lock" written on it is hidden by the Real bottom bar :/

One of these days a "full" fullscreen would be good, perhaps with another button for the settings?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Roart:
Please, somebody help me!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DaveShaw:
That was genious, I love it :D.

Do you want me to add this to the first few posts, or are you still tinkering? Also, I couldn't figure out how to hide the bottom bar, that's why it's still there ;).

Do you want a shortcut, to call lights out, or do you want a button for lights out?

The shortcut, is easy, just use Total Commander (or Resco Explorer) to create a shutut to the xdaShutdown exe and then edit the shortcut and add the -lightsout parameter to the end of it.

Let me know what you're after and if you're still struggling I'll make you one :).

For any programming that I do, I use Visual Studio.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DaveShaw:
I use VS2008 with the WM 6 Prof SDK to develop. C++ is hard to get to grips with, especially just what you can find on the internet. I spent more time worrying about how I should do this (MFC, Win32, ATL, what Image Libs, how to make the buttons react, etc) that actually doing it.

The theme doesn't seem to work for QVGA, also the restart button file should be called restart.png, not reset.png, ;).

Oh go on then... I'll look into it for you... ;)

On my List.

Added to the list of devices to try and support.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cris_rowlands:
When you open the project in vs2008, does it have a bar across the bottom which says "MainMenu1" ? (or something else if you renamed it)

Like this:

(This is a screenshot of me opening a new Visual Basic Project, I dont know if its different for C++)

If yes, just delete it and make a new button for "settings" and then a popup for the settings to appear in?

Any chance I could see the source code?

Im no expert at programming, but Im still curious xD

How can I make the images totally transparent? I used the fuxia color, but the semi transparent areas become fuxia too. Is there something to do in PS or I must use another program, and which?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cris_rowlands:
You cannot make anything "Semi Transparent" There is either the image, or transparency. Using any colour other than fuschia will show as that colour, not as another shade of transparency.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dancer_69:
I don't want to make semi transparent images. I just want to prevent the buttons to appear like in the picture with these fuxia areas, around.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cris_rowlands:
You would have to go around and find any colours which you want to be transparent, and just colour them fuschia! those areas are obviously in another colour, so they dont go transparent.

this also doesnt have an onscreen close button, so you need to use the softkeys to close it (fullscreen is off/false)

the theme is based on the default blue M2D skin

hope you like it too..

Any questions about my skin changer, just PM me, dont clutter up this thread.

I made this quickly, and Im not great at programming, so remember, this will probably crash lots or not work sometimes.

It requires you to have xdaShutdown installed & the .net compact framework 3.5.

Just to make it clear:

On your COMPUTER =

Make a new folder for EVERY skin you want to use.

Put your skin files into each folder.

Copy the folders across.

If you want to find out where to put the files, check on the "About" tab.
