Guest Bunecarera Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Nice one. Few guestions: * How do you get the second screen in your screenshot? The one with the missed calls and music and video. * How can you acces email, Comm manager en internet explorer in Landscape mode? These are on the side of the screen... Or are they just for the look... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAK ATTACK Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Really impressive, your xml skills are brilliant, the only thing I don't like is the fake buttons but then i'm a funny guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Looby Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) Nice one. Few guestions: * How do you get the second screen in your screenshot? The one with the missed calls and music and video. * How can you acces email, Comm manager en internet explorer in Landscape mode? These are on the side of the screen... Or are they just for the look... Thanks, the ' missed_call' screen will appear automatically when you do have a missed call. you cannot select it. All the functions that operate on the front screen will also operate in 'landscape mode' you press the middle key on the far right of your keyboard to activate them. I hope this explains it for you :rolleyes: P.S. The theme also contains the LCD PLUGIN that will give you alarm functions with a continuous alarm (of your choice) and an hourly 'bip'. The LCD CAB 1.54 file is available as a free download on various sites. Edited June 6, 2007 by Looby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gerben Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Can you tell me with WHAT key I can access the three buttons on the right (mail/explorer/comm manager); it seems I cannot access these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I mean that in landscape you have the email, internet explorer and Comm manager on the right of the screen, with the envelop, the globe,... Is there anyway to select these on your landscape screen? Or are they just for fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Looby Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I see, no the three keys on the right in landscape mode cannot be accessed they are there to display the ' Touch ' theme only. It would be lovely to have more keys to operate but you are quite restricted with the layout and positioning of plugins on the Vox/E650 due to the tight space available. If you place more plugins futher down on the front-screen they will then not operate in landscape mode. Many plugins simply will not operate on the same line too. I hope this explains it a little, many thanks for your interest and I'm glad you still like the design.... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bunecarera Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Been using it for a week now and still love it. But, is there a way to see all your appointements for that day on the homescreen? Except just one? Could you make that into the theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Looby Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) This is the final release of Smartouch to go with Pauls mega debrander. I just managed to squeeze it all in with about one pixel to spare, I didn't want to change the screen as I wanted to retain the integrity with the original ' touch ' design. I have enlarged the time ( full 24hr i.e 01:14 ) added an all appointments calendar display and changed the scroll-bar to a matching homescreen green to make for easier viewing. I hope you like it.. :rolleyes: ...oh, and while i was at it I debranded the Orange carrier on front screen! NB. The second file below is the new ammended version, please do not download the first.Smartouch.zipSmartouch.zip Edited June 13, 2007 by Looby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mark Ludgate Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I just spent the last 2 hours trying to get the smart monitor working on this theme, to which I suceeded on the xml but could not figure how to label each of the 3 monitors up (Battery, Memory and Storage from Dak's theme). I tried editing the background and couldn't get the format right and then tried to edit the xml to display the text.....!! Ah good to tinker but very frustrating to a numpty like me. Great Theme though. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bunecarera Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Do you have to do something specific to get it to work? Because I de-branded my vox a month ago and can't get your new theme to work. Is there a new version of the debrander or am I missing something?

Guest Looby Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hi, I don't know if we are talking at cross purposes or something, I just double checked by downloading the zip and copying the xml file and the folder to my homescreen on an E650 and it's ok. ??....Looby. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bunecarera Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 same here. I have a HTC S710, but debranded it to get rid of the green. Touch theme works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing you can do I guess is to switch to another screen, run activesync and try again. I cannot see how Pauls Debrander affects it as I have it on my E650 too. I've taken the theme off and on half a dozen times and it works every time. Edited June 12, 2007 by Looby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mark Ludgate Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 . I cannot see how Pauls Debrander affects it as I have it on my E650 too. I've taken the theme off and on half a dozen times and it works every time. I don't think for a minute its anything to do with the Debrander, just really additional information. Unfortunatly I'm know XML expert as detailed above. I can see the theme in the homescreen selection and get the Colour scheme change. When I manually select the Smart Touch as my background I get a distorted screen layout. Ill just use the Touch and try and get my Smart Monitor Plugins to work Cheers Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bunecarera Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) Got it to work. I renamed the folder to smartouch.home. That did the trick. And it seems that in your XML some names were messed up of the files. The background refers to the theme of the touch, but is is named differently... So I also changed them. Just check it out, you should see it. I attached a new version. Some remarks. * Is it possible to have the clock in white in stead of gray? White is easier to see... * And can you put a space between the time and the text of the appointement in the calender plugin? (Check your screenshot, there isn't any...) * And when I go to settings or contacts or... The highlight is always in green instead of Gray like in the HTC touch theme. Any idea how to change this? Great work btw. smartouch.rar Edited June 12, 2007 by Bunecarera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Looby Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) Thanks, I'm with it now. I forgot to rename the call screens to Smartouch. I have the full LCD version on my device ( which I upload to a French Site) and it is pulling the screens in from there as they are the same so it always works. If I had deleted the LCD version off the phone I would have picked it up. My apologies to all concerned in giving you a bit of hassle.... :rolleyes: I have ammended the original post...

Guest J.L. Bloem Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) Thanks alot, what an awesome theme :rolleyes: It would be even cooler if the fake buttons had a function assigned, like the 3 sidebuttons in landscape mode. It isnt possible to be able to select them as a shortcut to email, IE and Comm. Manager? And perhaps the 'Home' button as that Missed Calls screen, but with those 3 buttons as the appropriate shortcuts as well? Excuses, im just speculating about functions that might be impossible, im a complete XML / Theme noob :P With those buttons working, id prefer this theme over any regular one any day. Keep up the good work! Edited June 13, 2007 by J.L. Bloem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To change the spacing in appointments modify the xml file and include the spacing of your choice i.e example ~ Thx dude. Works great now. But still one question. I'm also a XML noob, so how do I change the XML so that longer appointements can also be displayed entirely on the homescreen? Because now, if the text is too long, only a part gets displayed. I already tried to change somethings and I had the entire text on the screen in 2 lines but then the second line of text is in the location text. Do you understand what I mean? For instance: If the appointement is: "14:00 Meeting with Tim Smith from Marketing" and location "his office" Then it will show "14:00 Meeting with Tim Smith" "His Office" on the homescreen. I had it working so that it shoed it like this: 14:00 Meeting With Tim Smith from Marketing. But then I can't get the location right. The "From Marketing" is mixed up with " His Office" on the same line. See what I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "From Marketing" is mixed up with " His Office" on the same line. See what I mean? Hi Bunecarera, I see exactly what you mean. The main issue with the Vox/E650 themes is that you have very tight parameters to work with, if you go below a certain height on the homescreen then the operation can fail in landscape mode hence I try to remain conservative with certain numbers. Regarding the appointments you can change the width in the xml file which is set at 215 (w="215") up to 240max and see how it goes for you. Make sure you have a back-up copy of the original smartouch file so if it does go tits-up you are ok. Thanks for your interest..Looby. :rolleyes: I have to say I have created many skins but this one I like and use because it makes the device look so clean and classy.
