Guest crafty Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 WOW! Time to sign up for Plus methinks...
Guest Brody Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 Nice work guys, Euro 2004 feeds whilst i'm in Spain will be essential! :)
Guest Pondrew Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 WOW! Time to sign up for Plus methinks... Same here, especially as my E200 last night seemed to do it's first partial reset since I got it. What better time to get a new homescreen!
Guest badlad Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 Nice But kinda sad that its not available for all to see.
Guest Taoski Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 Yeah - i agree. A nice teaser on the Portal - but i would like to see more of the functionality before i sign up. Some more screenshots please!
Guest midnight Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 A lot of the homescreen functionality is server based, so extra Custom screen options will be added, i'm also working on another homescreen utilising the RJHtml plugin at the moment that will show more of the potential of this plugin.
Guest idavid Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 hey my modaco 'M' doesnt rotate! i want a rotating 'M'!? using mpx200, is it 2003 only?
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 Animated GIFs are 2003 only, as they have an updated Pocket IE... P
Guest Pondrew Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 Another score for the E200 against the MPX200 :twisted:
Guest sparkisgti Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 This is THE best homescreen ive ever seen.. Well done to all involved in putting this together =D>
Guest idavid Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 "]Animated GIFs are 2003 only, as they have an updated Pocket IE... P NNNOOOOOoooooooo!!!! knew i should have got a e200....
Guest Crispy Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 available (only) to MoDaCo Plus membersThat suxX Animated GIFs are 2003 only, as they have an updated Pocket IE... That suxX even more ... ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)
Guest Taoski Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 Excellent work chaps. Bout time Midnight started a graphics masterclass eh? Sweet
Guest midnight Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 hehe, i actually thought about that a while ago, but i just dont have time, what with games, skins, tweaks, and other modaco stuff thats in the works, if i ever find time i will do something like that though :)
Guest scott2eyes Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 Something that would be useful would be a register of websites that are suitable for linking with the HTML feed... #Runs off to learn what PHP means...#
Guest midnight Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 errr, basically, make your own feeds, but you do need to know html or php to do that though i'm hoping to get another homescreen out this weekend and that will have much more content, and some nice surprises that will show that php tied with this plugin can be a VERY powerfull tool. Eventually i will be releasing the php source to things like the Preferences page for those that dont know how it works etc. oh, also, this new homescreen will be multipage, something i normally hate, but tied with this plugin it could be real usefull ;P
Guest ormstont Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 Forgive me if I'm sounding stupid but does the plugin get data like the weather info over the net? If so will this rack up huge GPRS bills?
Guest midnight Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 well, its only grabbing text, on that homescreen, ALL images are locally stored, so it only pulls like 100 characters each time you refresh the pages, and even less for the one liner (which is what you set the refresh time for)
Guest Vector Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 Excellent work chaps. Bout time Midnight started a graphics masterclass eh? Sweet I thought that...a year ago(or something like that) i couldn't do anything at all and didn't even have photoshop, but i got it and looked at loads of tutorials (search google) and now i just mix bits of everthing and create my own styles :) So i like to think i am better now at gfx than i was a year ago :lol:
Guest Speedy Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 I thought that...a year ago(or something like that) i couldn't do anything at all and didn't even have photoshop, but i got it and looked at loads of tutorials (http://smartphone.modaco.com/search.php>Search google) and now i just mix bits of everthing and create my own styles :) So i like to think i am better now at gfx than i was a year ago :lol: True, Just get photoshop and do tutorials, once you get the hang of it its actually quite addictive :-)
Guest Speedy Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 I just still think its too bad you have to pay for all the good stuff. I would not mind fidling with this new plugin and creating my homescreen with it, but I guess its "exclusive" to those who are willing to pay up!! too bad :)
Guest nedge2k Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 And why shouldnt you "pay up". Where would you be without this site. :roll:
