Guest arman68 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I've updated the zip in the first post to include a plain version with no background pic. As with the England flag just overwirte the images in the icandy dir. Thanks. Just noticed something today: the last digit of the date is truncated. Yesterday it worked well when the date was "9/06/2004", but today it shows "10/04/200" instead of "10/04/2004". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zabirp Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Great theme. On the homescreen when i move down to some of the options instead of the text becoming bold the area it covers becomes black. When i go to lets say profile it works but then for others e.g. Create new appointment the whole area surrounding it goes black? Any ideas Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest crafty Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Thanks for all the great feedback, also cheers DrB for fielding all the questions in my absence :D - the cheques in the post! I`m new and have an SPV200 for 1 week now and a bit suspicious. If i install the cab file, can i delete it afterwards? so all the screens and icons are back to normal?If you uninstall the CAB from the settings menu it should remove all the extra screens. If not heres a link to the CAB DrBlow mentioned for restoring extra screens to normal (Doc as if you couldn't find a sticky thread!?!) Just noticed something today: the last digit of the date is truncated. Yesterday it worked well when the date was "9/06/2004", but today it shows "10/04/200" instead of "10/04/2004". The theme's designed to use a dd/mm/yy date rather then dd/mm/yyyy. To change this go to Settings>Regional Settings and select the correct Short Style Data. If you really want a dd/mm/yyyy date style you could edit the xml and reduce the x="." value, that is move the date left. How can I install this theme cuz when I install them,, it shows a lot of file...Thankz Just go to Settings>Remove Programs (or use the Add/Remove link on the homescreen :D) and select crafty's iCandy Theme. @iTreKs, if you're using a QTEK8080 then (as previously mentioned) this theme won't work - sorry but it's strictly E200 only!

Guest crafty Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 how do you install this on the Mpx200? As mentioned (a couple of times i think :roll: ) this theme is for the Orange E200 ONLY because that is the only phone with the required homescreen plugin that this theme uses. I'm really sorry but i can't see any way of running this theme on another phone. Again same answer to iTreKs. Short of the Orange uber plugin becoming comercially available (or you flashing your 8080 with an Orange ROM which i WOULD NOT recommend) then i don't see how this would work. :cry: Anyone out there put together any nice alternate backdrops or got any requests for them even?

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Hmmm, I think I have issues because I regularly leave my email inbox with unread mails in, hence I am always seeing the unread mail counter? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest crafty Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Glad you like it Paul! If you want to stop the message alert from appearing for unread e-mails (but still appearing for SMS and MMS) you could edit the xml and find the message plugin code: <!-- (Hiding) Message alert Screen --> <plugin clsid="{A2536C54-6AC2-4c31-9542-B144B0E9D077}" height="144" width="100%" wrap="1" autohide="1" autoheight="0"> <format padding-bottom="3" padding-top="40" padding-left="65" wrap="1"/> <format state="selected" padding-bottom="3" padding-top="40" padding-left="65" bgtext="transparent" wrap="1"/> <background bgimage="StorageApplication DataHomeiCandyMessage alert.bmp"> <format state="selected" bgtext="transparent" bgimage="StorageApplication DataHomeiCandyMessage alert.bmp"/> </background> <label><text><sms/><mms/><email/></text></label> </plugin>[/code] And delete the bit in the penultimate line. This should sort it out but at the expense of not having a 'popup' when you recieve a new message. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest crafty Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 would it be possible to replace the desktop icon for "home" with a phone, like orange do? I'm guessing (/hoping) that you dont meant use the actual icon from the default orange homescreen as this would clash with the whole scheme. Attached is a version of the icon resource with an alternate home icon instead of the desktop icon. I hope that this is what you were after! Just replace 'iCandy Icons.exe' in StorageApplication DataHomeiCandy with the new one attached, then swap homescreen and back.Alternate Home Icon.zipAlternate Home Icon.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, imho it looks much better that way. What do you use to edit the icon resources? I would like to create a dark version of your theme (with light text) but I would need to edit the icons.

Guest crafty Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 @prompt - sorry - must have misread your post! To install the theme: 1. Download the zip from the first post. 2. Unzip it on your PC. 3. Copy the file 'iCandy.CAB' to your phone and run it. This will install the theme on your phone (provided it's an Orange E200 of course). The other stuff in the zip are just optional extras like different backdrops of caller ID templates - you dont need them for the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest crafty Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 What do you use to edit the icon resources? I would like to create a dark version of your theme (with light text) but I would need to edit the icons." I use a combination of Paintshop Pro 8 for graphical work, icon sushi for making/extracting icons and reshack for building the icon sesource. Takes a while to get the hang of it but you can get some great results. My next project is to make a dark version of this theme. iCandy was prompted by the theme i was running on my PC (iCandy icons and a gfxOasis window blind) but now i'm using a darker theme i've started thinking about mirroring this for my phone. I'm considering keeping the same xml setup as the theme covers pretty much everything i want, and just throwing together a different front end. Keep an eye out for iCandy 2....
