I am developing a theme for Windows Mobile 6 (Smartphone) based off of LCARS, the computer system featured in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager.

LCARSCom.Net is an excellent example of this interface.

Eventually this theme will encompass however much of the Windows Mobile platform is customisable, including Windows Media Player, icons, and sounds.

Here is a preliminary mock-up of what I'd like the theme to look like:

Attached File  Sample_Theme.gif ( 3.4K ) Number of downloads: 18


The background comprises just the shapes. The buttons each have their own backgrounds for selected and non-selected states.

I would like the user to be able to select the missed calls button but not the clock. When selecting it, this is what they would see:

Attached File  Sample_OFF.gif ( 1.19K ) Number of downloads: 16


Attached File  Sample_ON.gif ( 1.25K ) Number of downloads: 6


This forum has been incredibly helpful to me but I've reached a snag.

I am using the Orange plugin to display the "Missed Calls" plugin and the "Clock" plugin side-by-side using the following code:

CODE

<plugin height="60" width="176" clsid="{A2536C57-6AC2-4c31-9542-B144B0E9D077}" name="missed-date">
<background bgcolor="transparent" />
<shortcut width="35">
<plugin clsid="{0BA8ABB8-1F1D-417f-88C6-DA8530E2E7A6}" name="missedcalls" padding-top="30" padding-left="0" autoheight="false" >
<allowselection />
<background bgimage="\Application Data\Home\Missed_OFF.gif" valign="bottom">
<format state="selected" bgimage="\Application Data\Home\Missed_ON.gif" />
</background>
<format state="nocall" visible="true" />
<label font-size="12" fgcolor="#FFFFFF" y="22" textwidth="32">
<text halign="right"><calls /> MISS</text>
</label>
</plugin>
</shortcut>
<shortcut width="141">
<plugin clsid="{E09043DF-510E-4841-B652-388316977A7A}" name="carrier" padding-right="10">
<clock>
<time y="10" halign="right" font-size="14" fgcolor="COLOR_HOMETEXT"/>
<date y="20" halign="right" font-size="14" fgcolor="COLOR_HOMETEXT" />
</clock>
</plugin>
</shortcut>
</plugin>


I have compared this with other Home themes using the Orange plugin and cannot understand why it does not work. When I remove the plugins from the Orange plugin and place them by themselves in the XML file, they work.

Currently the plugin is taking up the correct amount of space on my homescreen but is not displaying either of the clock or missed calls plugins.

I'd very much appreciate any help.
