Guest it_ideas Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Please reboot your phone once installation completed to get all images work perfectly.
Guest it_ideas Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Your reviews would help me to enhance exitsting work and make some more designs.
Guest chucky.egg Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I like the BG image, but it's too busy for my own taste (most people don't think I have any taste though, so take this with a pinch of salt) With a good background image then "less is more", to the extent that I don't even have an MRU on mine. I'd say: 1.. cut Smartmonitor 2.. reduce the size of the MRU/Shortcuts, 2.. standardise on a colour scheme (incl the Shortcuts background) 3.. reduce the font size 4.. consider the "tab order" of the plugins (that's tricky cos it's personal pref) Only my opinion though, so I'm happy to be "wrong" if you don't agree!
Guest fowen Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I like it, but I think the font for the provider is too large. My Provider is AT&T and since it is so long it overunsthe time.
Guest it_ideas Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 well thanks for your suggestions. i will update in next release.
Guest janafunk Posted December 17, 2004 Report Posted December 17, 2004 Very nice homescreen....... I like it very very much........Ive tried many of the other ones and I still come back to this one!!! Only problem that I have is that smart monitor's SDcard storage shows ??? all the time!!........do you know why???
Guest it_ideas Posted December 18, 2004 Report Posted December 18, 2004 Thank you for your post and appreciation. well smartmonitor look for external memory and once you attached extra memory either SD OR MMC it will detect it and place its amount of memroy count to that place. i think there is plugin problem or you might not have sd/mmc please post your external memroy info and i'll try to relocate it why it just not display.
Guest janafunk Posted December 18, 2004 Report Posted December 18, 2004 Hey Mak I have the SPV C500 on orange-unlocked with mini-SD card! Do you require any more information???? Thanks in advance!
Guest michhy Posted December 21, 2004 Report Posted December 21, 2004 Your download link, i almost missed it, lol. I'd like to comment just a little thing, the service plugin dont need to be so huge. I would rather have the TIME to be huge instead. on SMARTmonitor plugin, the reason it shows ??? for the memory card is, the XML file need to be edited to detect the correct volume. I always have this problem with homescreens that uses smartmonitor. Its a simple fix, just edit the XML file a bit and it works great.
Guest 0815 Posted December 22, 2004 Report Posted December 22, 2004 I've the same problem with the detecting of external memory-card with my I-Mate SP3i :) Otherwise, I like the screen very much ! How can I change the MRU Shortcut, to another Shortcut, like Oxios Plugin ?

It is easy and so will works great. :lol: Edited February 24, 2005 by orlandson

Hello... -> So, I think I found a solution to fix the SD card detection problem. Try this: Settings -> Homescreen -> Disposition (choose SmartMonitor). APPLY Then, still for disposition, select "faceoff". APPLY The pb should be fixed! ;) --> Now, I have a question. I'd like to personalize this theme by adding a line above "My Shortcuts". There is some free space. What must I add in the faceoff xml file to display the signal strength? I need this: Signal [status bar] percentage Thx a lot for your answers! Gael :P
