sorry mate, not a patch on blades futurama skin. everyone should take a note of that!

[shadieb]

Thats a bit harsh Mike... Give the guy some credit for trying
Blades Futurama skin is the best I have seen and I am currently using it on my E200, but Scottts skin is still good and he should be congratulated for the effort.

Thanks for the skin Scottt I will look forward to more from you.

Best wishes.

[mike-oh]

my appologies, it is a good effort (certainly better than owt i could do)! i didn't say it wasn't

however i still stick by my previous statement which i believe to be true!

keep trying buddy, you'll be up there with the cream in no time!

"sorry mate, not a patch on blades futurama skin. everyone should take a note of that!"

I'v got to start somewhere and as they say "pratice makes perfect"
The futurama skin is one of the best I have seen and is the kind of Quality I would like to achieve but not everybody likes futurama !

[mike-oh]

Take the futurama style, replace futurama with simpsons and you're on to THE best skin ever

[kjk]

nice work scott i like it

[midnight]

my opinion is that this is just colour clash city, maybe thats the effect you where going for hehe, but man do those two colours NOT go together (hot pink and flourescent green), but then, i also disagree with the other comments, *personally* i dont think the futurama skin is 'all that', one thing i personally hate is the overuse of bevels (or any standard photoshop filter such as lens flare, lighting effects (although can be good if used well etc)) and thatys something the futurama skin does waaaay too much.
like i said my opinion, dont take it too seriously, and dont take others comments too seriously either, its all a matter of taste, some people like one style, other peo[ple like other styles

apart from the futurama bashin' joke

Having failed to get the plug-ins working I have uninstalled everything but can't get rid of the extra screens  :?
Any ideas ?

[scottt]

What plugins cant you get to work ?
remove smartweak from remove programs list this should reset home screens to default

should this fail midnight to the rescue http://smartphone.mo...pic.php?t=93963

[Disco Stu]

Aha !
I hadn't identified Smartweak as being part of the installation  :oops:

I couldn't get Callface to work but I'm going to give it another go tonight.
I've never used it before so might have to re-read the instructions.

[scottt]

Call face is hidden on the homescreen to access it just press the action button as its the first plugin on the screen, the homescreen expects callface to be on the storagecard

[Disco Stu]

Everything seems to install correctly.
Pressing action key in home screen takes you to Bluetooth settings.
Alarm plug-in works fine.
LCD plug-in doesn't show on homescreen at all, whether installed on phone or card.
May not be significant but neither LCD nor alarm CABs are deleted.
Three goes, same results !
Hope this helps mate
Posted from my SmartPhone!

PS : have got LCD plug-in (1.5) working with Thierry Muellers's skins

[scottt]

Only thing I can think of is that this skin maynot work on e200 I have tested it on spv and mxp.
This might be because e200 has storage instead of ispm ?

[Disco Stu]

That would be my guess.
It might also explain why Callface doesn't show up.

Although I think you could sort out the colours a bit so that the menus are readable (the lime green is bad if I remember correctly) I was very impressed with your clear installation instructions and the fact that you packaged a preview and all the plug-ins in the download folder.
Good work mate

I really loved the first version, with alarm and appointment details on, very handy. But sadly i had 2 remove it after several days. the main reason being: IT DRAINS BATTERY!!--VERY BADLY

not sure whether it's just me though. I'm using E100, the battery life's improved greatly after latest patch update. only 2%-5% of battery life is used during 8 or 9 hours overnight standby. Since i installed The Simpsons homescreen, a horrible 30-45% of the battery life just gone like that.

[scottt]

Only thing I can think of is that it might be the scrolling text thats sucking  the juice out of the batt
In settings /power management try setting screen saver mode  to turn off and see if that helps.
I plug my phone on to charge overnight so cant comment on batt drain myself.
