Guest mcolbeck Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 Looks ace on my c500. WMP does not seem to be using the skin. do i need to select the skin somewhere .
Guest midnight Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 looking into that, expect a fix soon :)
Guest foxy11 Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 ooo /me sticks on his shiney new c500, thx!
Guest midnight Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 'hopefully' that should be the windows media player fixed, doneload again those who have had problems :)
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 Looks better on the Black C500 than the Champagne one ;-) P
Guest midnight Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 'its silver' sorry, had to say that :)
Guest doyle_am Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 Brilliant work... it's looks sweet! And so does the site :)
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 It's actually off silver, hence champagne. It's more obvious in some lights than others... P Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest markhammill Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 Hi Midnight, How do you set the the date on the homescreen to display as 18/08/04 like yours instead or 18/08/2004 like on mine? --edit--- I'm so stupid I checked the regional settings but must have miss clicked and checked under long date style by mistake. Not to worry I have sorted it now. Nice skin though
Guest jamby Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 Great Skin! Hope it'll also look good even on a non-c500 phone. Congrats again for such a nice skin.
Guest mcolbeck Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 Hi midnight, i am sorry to be a pain and if i am doing something completly wrong then do not hesitate in giving me a slap but wmp on my c500 still has the original skin on even though i have got the c500 skin installed. i have never used a wmp skin before, do i need to do something to select it? Cheers Mike
Guest midnight Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 nope, they must have changed the wmp reg settings again, thats all i can think of (ive developed this on SP2K2 and WM2K3, i dont have a c500 yet)
Guest fphillips Posted August 20, 2004 Report Posted August 20, 2004 Sorry to be so dim on this but how do i install this. have downloaded the file C500.cab and copied it onto the phone.....now what all help much appreciated as this looks terrific
Guest midnight Posted August 21, 2004 Report Posted August 21, 2004 open the file browser on the phone and select the c500.cab and it will install (presuming you have the c500 unlocked, otherwise used the locked version of the homescreen), then simply turn the phone off and on again :)
Guest markhammill Posted August 21, 2004 Report Posted August 21, 2004 Hi Midnight, Would it be possible to have a copy of the background you used on the SPV for the image on the top left of the site for the C500 launch week. I was wondering how good it would look with the normal C500 homescreen. Thanks in advance
Guest gaile Posted August 21, 2004 Report Posted August 21, 2004 one of the slickest homescreen i've seen :) great work midnight. am looking forward for more :P
Guest fphillips Posted August 21, 2004 Report Posted August 21, 2004 I must be really dim getting this installed. Firstly is my phone software locked or unlocked. I bought on contract from Orange. have downloaded both versions to my desktop and the folder C500.cab is there. What do I do next? Do i copy and paste to the smart phone and if so which file. Help would be much appreciated.
Guest midnight Posted August 21, 2004 Report Posted August 21, 2004 if you havent unlocked it via the Orange developers site then the phone is still locked. Simply copy the c500lock.cab to your phone via activesync (either Storage or Storage Card, eiether will do), fire up the file browser on the phone that comes wiht the c500 and then select the c500lock.cab let it install, then reboot the phone :)
Guest blueflash Posted August 21, 2004 Report Posted August 21, 2004 fphillips: if your new to spv phones try coolsmartphone.com and read beginners area. and rest of this forum good luck and welcome to the best phone out there
Guest mnbv Posted August 22, 2004 Report Posted August 22, 2004 i haven't had a personal mobile phone before (only business), i'm enjoying this, thanks very much midnight
Guest Rolfe_WJ_2 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 I'm one those who cant see WMP skin in action, anyone sorted this yet? anyway I can get around it? Apart from that, this is without doubt the best skin I have used, and it looks kick a$$ on my C500. Thankyou very much.
