I just removed the 'home screen reset' from 'remove programs' menu on the phone, re-booted.
Then installed the LonghornSPVProExtras.cab to overwrite the default ones. I'm happy with these at the moment, I just can't be bothered trying to apply the 'reset to default' cab again...as I ain't to hopeful of it working! I've attached the LonghornSPVProExtras.cab in case you want it, without searching

thank god, midnight made this so when it was uninstalled it reverted all the settings back. I don't like the screens that AWS used on the MPx200. I have another thread going asking for the original images so I could change them back. So I tried this and it totally screwed up all the info and alert screens. Like I said, thank god (or midnight) that this was reversible.

sorry i havent looked at this yet (bloody game development hehe) but i will have a look this weekend sometime, i've no idea why it goes transparent, but i'll solve it one way or another, even if it means having new default images for the error screens

I saw the transparent screens on the Motorola phone, but I figured it was a MPx200 thingy, but I think it was the same thing you've been seeing:
It's caused but the registry tweak that changes the image: the background colour (BKUnselected) gets set to a blank value but if it's set to COLOR_alertWINDOW, the warning popups stay opaque. Also, I'm pretty sure that as Colour Themes change, the background of the error message will change as well, seeing as the COLOR_alertWINDOW value is a theme-able property. I put together a a version for the MPx200 because I figured that the original tweak worked OK on the SPV. It also doesn't change the image for the start menu wallpaper and contacts wall paper, but that was by design. |

my cab already sets it to COLOR_alertWINDOW, always has, but the problem looks like its as simple as a missing comma, it worked on the first version of this cab, but something went wrong for the second version, anyways, just cabbed another version if someone wishes to try it

QUOTE my cab already sets it to COLOR_alertWINDOW, always has, but the problem looks like its as simple as a missing comma, it worked on the first version of this cab, but something went wrong for the second version, anyways, just cabbed another version if someone wishes to try it Actually, if this is the same CAB that I got like a night or two ago, it didn't have that setting. What I did was extract the _setup.xml file from the CAB file on a PC and looked to see what was changing. The BKUnselected value that I saw in there told the registry to set it to "". The way I built my CAB was by using a /postxml switch with the same basic XML that I found in that _setup.xml file - I didn't set the registry settings in the .INF file because I found that to be more cumbersome. Of course, the other problem might have nothing to do with this or I might have gotten an older version - I'm just letting you know what made it into the CAB file that I originally downloaded... if it helps, I can send ya the CAB or _setup.xml that I got... Cheers! |

its cos when it built the cab from the inf there was a missing comma like i said, so cabwiz removed that setting (and set it as blank in the compiled cab cos thats all it could do), makes no difference either way, its fixed now i hope

Help please !
I've installed this CAB and rebooted my SPV (ROM Orange FR 1.3.6.5) twice. Extra screens (Info, Exclamation...) are now as normal, but the Programs menu background is still white without any gradient ! |

Remove the BKBitmapFile from HLMSoftwareMicrosoftShellRai:MSStart midnight - can you make the 'reset' remove the BKBitmapFile (as for MSStart and MSCONTACTS) instead of assigning "" as the value? many thanks. |

You cant actually remove reg keys using a cab as far as i'm aware, only change them so they are blank
however, i do have an idea, which i'll work on, which should hopefully fix the problem -------------------- Alien Invention - home of Eclipse: First Wave and Kumite

and the answer is, no, cant be done as far as i can tell
dont forget, you should always use 'Remove Programs' on any homescreen that uses extra screens before installing another that does the same, it solves this problem before it even occurs and so no need to run this homescreen reset cab. -------------------- Alien Invention - home of Eclipse: First Wave and Kumite

I just installed this on my phone(e200) and got the pink square around the icon image, looking at the original settings on my old spv i found that the 'BKBitmapTransparent' value needs to be set to '16711935' and the pink bits disappear and so your left with a background set to the COLOR_alertWINDOW and the icon without the pink bit!!!
