[Windows Mobile Themes] nimrodity:
wow your theme really is by far the best i have tested till now,but i have a question ans one thing i would like to have changed in the qvga version.

The Qhestion:What exactly is the difference between the Livven Sense Toolbar and the Livven Sense Toolbar Rounded.I cant see it on your screenshots.

The Request:First of all the idea making a smaller menu list is excellent,so i tried the Livven Smaller Menu Items 96dpi.cab ,but unfortunately now it is too small.Is it maybe possible to make the gap between the menu list lines a bit smaller in the original menu list,so that 1 ore maybe better 2 lines more would be visible,if so ,scrolling in the menu list would be totally unnecessary most the time.That would be great.

and before i forget thank you very much for the effort you are putting in this amazing theme.Also its really great you answer every single post in this thread,thats remarkable.

Do you have planned a update?
[Windows Mobile Themes] keff:
Hi Livven, thanks for wonderful themes, I would just like to report a small bug: On my Samsung Epix (320x320x128dpi), I don't see a shadow underneath menus - I don't know whether it is intentional, but if possible, I'd like them back, they help separate the menu from background...

Screenshot:

BTW, I really like how you minimalized the dead space, I can see at least one more item in menus. If I could wish, would you tell me how to give smaller padding to items in lists (like in sms list)? Or I can look into it myself, only tell me what you use to edit the .tsk files (I tried ThemeGenCE, but it won't open your .tsk...). Thanks!

EDIT: Got it, .tsk files are just renamed cabs :))

EDIT2: Cool, it has already been done :) http://www.mobilitydigest.com/forums/showthread.php?p=16416, but the metrics from thereonly make my menus huge - probably need to be reduced for different dpi

EDIT3: Well, that was quick - i fixed my favourite Black and Republic theme, sorry to steal your thunder here :)

Hi,

sorry to be OOT, but on your 1st page, there is a picture of virtual keyboard that big enough for me to use.

Can u tell/show me where can I get that keyboard?or the name of the application?

It would be very convenient to do such as the screenshot on the second.

Hi,

you do not need to press, you can slide the menu with your finger, this is why the button small!!

i keep getting a crc error when i try to unzip the main theme cab file and also the default selectors cab is broken...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
First of all, sorry for my recent absence (I've been busy setting up and tweaking my new site). But now, I released a small update. Check the first post for the changes.

Okay, as I now understand the kinetic scrolling is not available in some apps, I made them a bit bigger, hope that suits you?

Okay, will try to do both for the next version.

The latter should have rounded edges, but it's not that obvious, I know. Going to tweak it, stay tuned!

I see you're using an older version. It should've been fixed already, so just download the newest version!

It's the new default keyboard in 6.5.3, but it's not really finger-friendly. FingerKeyboard for example is way better.

不用谢 (no need to thank me) ;)!

For which resolution? I checked them and it's all right for me. Try and download it again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Irishpride:
Thanks for the updates Liven! Love the themes, my only complaint was the width of the scrollbars and you fixed that, installing now. Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lobo4806:
Livven...can you post pics of how this looks on 6.5?

oh and i figured out the crc error...i was using ALZip. i got 7zip and it works fine now...i was using 192dpi
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_scotsman:
Is it possible to cook this into a ROM in a kitchen? I tried converting the cab to a package, but it doesn't seem to work.

EDIT: never mind, figured it out :)

hey i saw ur webpage..its wonderful...very nice to eyes..

[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
Hi Livven!

Just wanted to let you know I released my ROM with your theme :D.

Can be found here

Keep up the good work with all of your stuff!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Glad you like the design, I was thinking to include a toolbar style like the one on my site, but that's for the next version. Unfortunately, it's not possible to tweak much more through a TSK theme.

It seems you cooked an older version, which has an ugly fat scrollbar :p.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
Haha you noticed :rolleyes:.

Dont tell anyone!

Will use the latest version in the next update :D. Its just that this one had been running very stable for a month so I wanted to quickly release it.

BTW. I am still using your 16feb release (I still had the glass selectors) didnt see any scrollbarenhancement in the changelog? Will add the latest version soon anyways so..
[Windows Mobile Themes] codf4ther:
I'm using the QVGA version on Nagrom 23529 on a Vogue. The new MS Keyboard isn't skinned as it is on your screenshot (the buttons are all white), does it only work with certain sub-styles? I've applied the Hero addons for toolbar, taskbar and softkeys.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Win_XP:
Hi, thanks for this great themes, I searched a lot for some simple WM6.5.3 themes for my 64MB Universal, now I'm happy :p :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
Hi Livven.

I have cooked your latest version (20 feb) but I still get the big scroll bars! Not like those on your new screenshots.

Also I am trying to properly resize the popup menus. I have reduced the font size to 1000 which works fine. Only problem is that the livven_selector_blue.png gets cut off on the top (because the menu item is now smaller).

Which of these entries should I adjust to make it fit inside the smaller menu?

<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImage" datatype="string" value="\\Windows\\livven_selector_blue.png" translation="filesystem"/>
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageTopMargin" datatype="integer" value="40"/>
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageBottomMargin" datatype="integer" value="16"/>
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageLeftMargin" datatype="integer" value="15"/>
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageRightMargin" datatype="integer" value="15"/>
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageTiled" datatype="integer" value="0"/>
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageTopPadding" datatype="integer" value="24"/>
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageBottomPadding" datatype="integer" value="24"/>
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageLeftPadding" datatype="integer" value="6"/>
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageRightPadding" datatype="integer" value="6"/>
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Even with a soft-reset? In the key HKLM\System\GWE, you should check cxVScr and cyHScr. Their value should be 18 (12 hexadecimal).

The margins do nothing, only the paddings. So you need to make MenuSelectorThemeImageTopPadding and MenuSelectorThemeImageBottomPadding smaller. But, at least on QVGA the effects are a bit unpredictable, as the bottom padding is actually bigger than the top padding. In my Smaller Menu Items CAB for 96dpi I just changed the bottom padding to 3, though it's still not perfect.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nickschot:
Their value is 18?! But my scrollbars arent noticably smaller as on the screenshot.

Certainly not the thin bar you have on the first post.

Also the scrollbars do get very small when the list is very long (though the space of the bar stays the same so its a white bar with a small scrollbar on it) this can be seen on my sixth screenshot (with the dialer) in my ROM topic.

[Windows Mobile Themes] :
Another fantastic update, Livven. Thanks again.

The MS Keyboard is not skinned by a TSK. If you don't have the keyboard Livven has, it means your ROM does not include the keyboard.
[Windows Mobile Themes] wfore:
thanks a lot
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Strange, seems to work for other people :confused:.

You may have noticed there was a 404 error at my site for the last hours, because the .htaccess file on the server was broken. I don't know how it happened though, but anyway, I fixed it.

Additionally, a customizer app made by cris_rowlands is coming soon: it will replace all those customizations CABs and thus make customizing much easier. Stay tuned!
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
New build uploaded later in thread :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] af974:
Hi there,

i just wanna let you know that all yours Theme are absolutly great and im still using theme in my Custom Roms....thanks for your hard work :)

A little question:

Im trying to cook your theme with a different Background image,trying to mod it with ThemeGen but always got an error.Do you mind how can i do this?

Thanks:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
The new 6.5 themes have a different structure, so ThemeGenCE can't handle them correctly. But, as TSKs are really just CABs, use WinCE CAB Manager to add your custom images, in the case of a QVGA screen they'd be "stwater_240_320.jpg" for portrait and "stwater_320_240.jpg" for landscape. They don't need to be JPG, PNG works as well.

BTW if you now have any suggestions for new selector, toolbar, softkey or taskbar styles, tell me and I'll try to do them! With the new customizer app available, it's also a lot easier for me to add these customizations :).
[Windows Mobile Themes] af974:
Ok man thats great...i didnt know that............thank you very much:)

I dont have any suggestion yet, since your themes are simply wonderfull:)............anyway, i was checking some rom thread in Leo section and i saw that there are some trasparent toolbars there,do you think it is possible to have?

Cheers.

EDIT: Nevermind,i found that toolbar is alrtrasparent in Start Menu....i was speaking about manila.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Staxxthedan:
Tried te customiser, having sstem freezes. imported it into my documents and run it from there....could you guys explain how this app is refreshing the bars after overwriting...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Staxxthedan:
Okey, tried again. Program crashed. exception report says error due to unauthorised access system access...Hope that helps..The interface is alright. can't you guys link it up with mortscripts to do the actual registry modifications, and deletions in windir? coz I have use morts to do that all the time. Thanks for your efforts hope my input helps :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] yogeesharma:
Request

Require... Livven Smaller Menu Items.cab

I have lost that FIX you have released some time back for smaller menu items so as more menu items be visible in popup menu

Will you please do post it again..

thnx
[Windows Mobile Themes] Demons-77:
Thank you very much! Now everything is just fine!
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
It probably doesnt want to let me delete/modify the images within \Windows ¬_¬ It doesn't touch the registry at all.

Sadly theres not much I can do about that

Are you using a custom ROM or the one that came with your device?

also what device is it?

Thanks for your feedback :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] rouzb3h:
Im using the theme, and its so cool :) i was just wondering ... where can i get the keyboard? ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] yogeesharma:
Please do the needful ... Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
The refreshing is done manually, by choosing another TSK. We're working on a better way for the next update.

Perhaps try again with another ROM, or move the app to storage card? It works fine for me, Cris, and most other people, I think (or at least hope). After all, a dedicated app is always better than a MortScript, and maybe the next version will work for you... :)

It's in the 96dpi ZIP.

It's the default one from newer 6.5.3 builds, added a note in first post :).
[Windows Mobile Themes] kakoo06:
hello levven first thanks for your great work ,i can't use my phone without your theme ,and i realy want to ask you if there is any way to make the two barres too glossy and more transparent (not 100% but heuuu 50% ) like they appear in the today screen .i'm on win 6.5 .

Feedback is much appreciated

[Windows Mobile Themes] af974:
Cris,

is this one for QVGA too?
[Windows Mobile Themes] cslawren:
So I just want to say I'm a huge fan of these softkey mods. But I want to know if those are compatible with 6.5.5? I install said CABs, but it doesn't change a thing. If they aren't compatible, is anyone aware of any softkey mods that do more or less the same thing on 6.5.5 (I really hate the round default softkeys)?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
For smaller menu items font?

No, (W)VGA only. But Cris is going to do the other ones soon, for now you can use the second beta.

Of course, 6.5.1/6.5.3/6.5.5 are all more or less the same. Which exact version did you install? You have to install the main CAB (which is in the regular ZIP, also detailed at my site) first, then select the Livven SimpleGloss themes. After that you can use the customization CABs or editor app for further customization.
[Windows Mobile Themes] af974:
Thank you for fast reply, im going to wait next release then.

An app like yours but for manila 2D themes would be great.:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] teorouge:
Thanks Cris, much appreciated and very convenient! ;)

Gonna try that and maybe I'll even try and get an EXT package to offer the chance to customize my SimpleGloss addiction! XD
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
QVGA Version up soon :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
QVGA version now available :D

There is a slight bug that if you choose a colour, then go to the softkeys tab and then change the colour, the softkeys tab stops working properly

but Ive gone through my code and there is no reason for this what so ever :(

Its the exact same code as the WVGA version which works fine :s

Ill keep looking though to see if I can make a fix for this :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] eighty1:
Whenever I download the cab file from the site its not a cab. Its a blank file.
[Windows Mobile Themes] af974:
rename it with .rar extension,it worked for me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
Okay people, beta 3 of the SimpleGloss Editor app is out, now for (W)QVGA and (W)VGA. I just tweaked the CABs Cris posted and uploaded them on my site for easier access. Again, big thanks to Cris for developing this app :)!
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
Hi,

i just installed beta 3, i love the taskbar with no buttons and just the text, but for some reason i cannot select anything in the editor!

the selector does not move to what i select, also the menu's in total commander are totally unskinned.

please can you advise?

Thanks for the app!

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
:S

Are you using the QVGA or the WVGA version?

Actually I got that problem where the menus in total commander

became unskinned, but I think thats an issue with the TSKs,

so Livven will have to look into that.

And when you say you cant touch anything, do you mean when it shows you the lists of images, you cant click on them?

(well, beside them anyway.. you cant click on the images themselves, you have to press to the right of them)
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
im using the wvga version, sorry forgot to mention. and your correct its the tsk's.

thats it!! i was pressing the image!!

DOH!!

thanks

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] Livven:
I updated the 192dpi Editor CAB, the TSKs should be fine now. 96dpi was unaffected of this issue. Thanks for reporting, MysticGenius, and I hope you won't get banned again (what was the reason last time?) :D.

I just realized that as well, hope you can change it for the final, along with some other things you'll see when I send you a PM :).
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
Sadly its pretty much impossible for me to make it so it will use the real images from the folders AND make it so you can click them

Thats just one thing you will have to put up with :( sorry :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
il pm you the answer to that!!

lol, its a joke though!

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
I Just downloaded the cab again and reinstalled, and the menus are still unskinned

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] endursa:
unfortunately now there is a new bug in your tsk file

as you can see in my screenshots, when i use the tsk file from the previous cab from chris, the separation of the entrieys is big, but your updated version is to small

and i would like to request a version like in my third screenshot, not to big but also not to small :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] hskeik:
The same issue for me, and another problem, that the beta3 absolutely doesn't look like the one on video,

something else, the selectors in the menus are so big (high), and the arrows in the menu looks not so beautiful

see attachment
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
:s

what does it look like on your device? :/
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
Your lucky you have that!

NONE of my press and hold menus are skinned at all!!!

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] hskeik:
It's the old version without customization , the new one also as you says, the menus doesn't have skin
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
Sorry guys, I've just looked through my code and realised its not skinning them because of something I did ¬_¬

It will be fixed in the Beta 4.

Then after that, it will be the final release :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
Thats what its meant to look like and is almost exactly how it looks in the video :s

Also, remember that the video was made about halfway through making it, since then I finished the code and added a couple more pages and the lists of images don't fill the page, they are only as long as the number of items in the list.
[Windows Mobile Themes] doctorwqh:
Hi，Livven！So great your work!I really like it!but I cant download the files from "art.techparaiso.com".Would you give a mirror,thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dalek_Caan:
There is a mirror on medafire .. it is linked on the art.techparaiso.com page right under download links
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
Btw, what causes the error?
[Windows Mobile Themes] hskeik:
when i choose "Pivot" tab, but after quitting, I reopen the costumizer and it works well, just first run after the softreset
[Windows Mobile Themes] cris_rowlands:
o__o thats quite odd

lol

ill make sure it doesnt do that in the next one :P
