Something strange gone on ...
The homescreen wouldnt load so I opened it up in Notepad but wherever enter has been pressed (ie, new line) then ther is a symbol (a rectangle)
I understand your running on Mac? What did you use to compile the XML?

[MrIndependent]

Yeah, right, running on MAC
I used a editor for webpages... WebDesign it is called... strange

[w411y]

Does Mac come with a basic Notepad?

[MrIndependent]

Not really, but let me try something...

Here it is.... maybe this'll work

Afraid thats the same   :?:
Things is the problem may not be to do with symbols representing the Enter key being pressed. Ill search this forum and other places to find out how/if anyone has made a theme running on Mac. If I do not find the answer I will start a new thread in this forum.
In the mean time, I will delete all symbols and repress the enter key. Well see what happens from there.

[MrIndependent]

Thank you so much... I already surfed some sites but couldn't find a thing... Oh well.
Maybe I'll find the fault, I'll keep on looking

[w411y]

Havnt got time to look into it today (family duty calls) but I should have time tonight so fingers crossed. Ill get back to you asap

[Lemac]

MrIndependent I've had a look too and not sure of the problem on the xml
so I reworked it for you  

hope you dont mind

Thx! Well, did you try it out if it works on a Smartphone?

Ignore the Homer. If you lessen the height of the Time/Date/Carrier plugin then the Profile and Messages will come up and fit snug in their boxes Another thing Ill point out is your background image should be 240x293 (yours is 300) and the top 25 is usually taken up by an Iconbar plugin so may be worth making the light area up the top bigger. Colour scheme may look better in black and white also.
Other than that its a very nice screen.

@Lemac... What did you do to the XML? Manually delete the symbols and repress Enter? Thanks for doing the dirty work

Thank you, now I know what to edit! ;-)
Hopefully my phone will come soon, so I can test the homescreens myself. Still need some time to find my way thru all this new stuff *g*

[w411y]

Go back to page 2 of this thread I edited my last post as i buggered it up first time round   :oops:

[Lemac]

Well it was a mess so I re wrote it
;-)

[w411y]

Yeh when I opened it there was a square symbol for whenever Enter had been pressed. Is that diferences between Mac and Windows perhaps?

[nickcornaglia]

Nice tutorial. I never use Ruttensoft or the like. I prefer the old notepad method myself.

As for the squares in the XML....I get that when view other webbased files at times. If you open it up in DreamWeaver....it translates them correctly. After a save it is viewable in notepad again.

W411y great tutorial!

id thought id never make my own theme,  but this tutorial really helped!

one question, how do you display the Network Provider on the homescreen? cause im using your template, and changed bits around,  but i notice you dont have the Network Provider displayed, how do you get that to display back up?


in your picture (below) you have fade out lines in between the Start and Contacts and they seem to be bold too, how did you make them like that? mine are just really thin lines at the moment? and what is the code for the calender?

thanks!!

@ encece.... cheers fella

@hurley griffin.... the principles for carrier(network provider) are the same for the date and time however the tag is <\carrier>    ( that maybe incorrect, i dont have my pc to check) which also means i cannot give an example of the calendar plugin, so you will have to download and open another xml abd things will begin to make sense.
oh and those bold gradient lines are only available for devices with WM5.

hey w411y, im having some troubles trying to align the Profile with the Calendar

so what i mean is i want it to be displayed like this (sorry i dont know know how to take a screen shot like you have done!)

Profile: Normal      No Appointments:

but its not letting me. each time i try changing the Y co-ordinates, either one of them gets hidden, cause the lable is too big or something, but when i change the lable size, it gets too small to fit everything in. im quite confused!!

edit: if you can also tell me how to take a screen shot of the phone i can explain it much easier!

<!--Calendar--!>

  <plugin clsid="{865A354A-4A96-4687-B001-C155DC0DBE76}" name="calendar" height="40">
  <background b-border-width="0">
  <format state="selected" font-weight="normal" bgcolor="transparent" fgcolor="#FFFFFF"/>
  </background>
  <label font-size="18" x="117" y="25" w="105" fgcolor="#FFFFFF">
  <format state="unselected"  font-weight="normal" />
  <format state="selected" font-weight="bold"/>
  <text><subject/></text>
  </label>
  </plugin>

<plugin clsid="{95976968-45D5-40c9-9779-2B859B1C2FEC}" name="Profile" height="65" >
        <background b-border-width="0">
</background>
<label x="5" y="40" halign="left" bgcolor="transparent" fgcolor="#ffffff" font-size="18">
<format state="unselected"  font-weight="normal" />
<format state="selected" font-weight="bold"/>
<text>Profile: <profile/></text>
</label>
</plugin>

I knw what you mean. If you read over the turorial I mention that plugins work as layers, and that the profile label can only be shown in the designsted layer. The Orange plugin allows you to do this however, so does RJshortcut.
Ill give better help when my pc is sorted
