I had the same problem, but got round it by copying the whole .zip file onto the phone and then used the phone's ZIP utility to extract the .tsk into My Documents. Worked a treat and I've now got a nice gaudy green theme on my phone!

Matho, couldn't help noticing the rom version of software, i'm on vodafone 1606 ROM version 1.20.161.6 from 06/06/06, picked it up last saturday. I wanted to know if you are having any problem changing your today screen settings i.e. Start > settings > Today > items > select Vodafone Calendar then try to use options on right but greyed out. The book says that you are supposed to be able to do it??? If not any other problems with yours....

Just checked and my 'Options' are greyed out too. I had just assumed that it was because there were no configurable options for that item. (To be honest, I haven't even opened the manual!). Other Today screen items do have options available, so I don't think it's a problem. I'm actually trying to figure out how to replace the Vodafone Calendar with the original/default Calendar as I really don't like the Vodafone calendar icons - too big and don't really suit the rest of the theme. There are already ways to restore the original User Info, Device Lock and Messaging items - have a read of this thread: http://www.modaco.co...pic=243763&st=0

Also, you'll probably want to set up your voicemail notification properly - info also in the thread above.

Added VJCandela - use your camera flash as a torch.

Here's one I just found: vxUtil.

Free for personal use, and has all the useful networking utilities built into it: Whois, NTP, DNS Lookup, Finger, Wake on Lan, Traceroute, Ping, and so on.  Also has a display similar to ipconfig /all on a Windows PC, that displays all the stuff that WM5 hides from you, such as which DNS servers it's picked up from DHCP, when your lease expires, and so on.

There's probably something better, but this is simple, free, easy to use, and seems to work perfectly on the Hermes device.  The only thing it doesn't seem to like is portrait/landscape switching - if you stay in the orientation you start it up in, it works fine, but if you switch orientations it doesn't resize accordingly.

Loving it... will add it to the list (have used it before, just forgot about it!)

Main EXE UPXs from 88 to 33k too

More of a teak than software, but the notification (as pinned in the Wizard forum) as to whether the keyboard has the nun lock or Caps lock turned on or off is very useful.



Worth including, or does the Hermes do this already????

[PaulOBrien]

It does it already...

re: VJCandella don't over use it though might burn out your flash, this happened to someone over at XDA dev [can't remember if he was using an Uni or Wizard though].

[farmgorgon]

folks, whenever I open any of the cabs paul very kindly listed, it asks me where I want to extract the file to on my network, rather than starting the installaiton process on the unit (and asking me to accept the program installation etc).

What gives. thanks v much
