QVGA Extra Screens

[Guest Skunkchild]

Can anyone tell me how to change the dial, volume, alert screen backgrounds for a C600 ?

What size should the images be ?

Also, are there any around that would suit the Vista homescreens from the download section ?

I guess it's posted somewhere on this forum but I've not found anything for WM5

Thanks for any help

Here you go...

You need to get a Registry Tweaker and change the BKBitmapFile of the following...

HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen, CarrierBitmap

HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen, CarrierShutdownBitmap

HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen, MSBitmap

HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen, MSShutdownBitmap

HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:ErrorBox

HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:ExclamationBox

HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:InformationBox

HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:QuestionBox

HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:VolDlg

Change the BKBitmapFile to the path of your file (eg \application data\vista screen.gif

oh they must be gifs too

Many thanks w4lly :)

Your Welcome :) Im not sure if the Visat Screen.gif will fit perfect on a C600, I'm going by the resolution of the C550 but as the C600 is running WM5 you got them gradients on the soft keys and icon bar. It shouldn't really make a difference :D

I've made a good start on a new homescreen using the animation plugin from madbeetle

How can I take screenshots of the C600 ?

I used to use Activesync Remote Display then Print Screen and edit on the pc for my C500 but it won't connect with the C600

[Guest w411y]

There are apps you can use to take screenshots from the phone itself.

If I can remember correct theres one called Pocket Snap It and one called SS

[Guest Skunkchild]

Thanks. Smart SS did the trick well :) link ...

Hi,

I changed some extra-screens just to find out, that the screen that appears, when you call a number, seems not to be skinable via registry. I just switched the file (it's called cprogbak.png) in my windows-folder but that's not an option when I want to share my screens.

Does anyone know how to change this screen without replacing the file?

Bye,

DJ

btw. maybe it's an WM5-issue - on my qtek 8310 the startup and shutdown splashscreens are located in HKLM\System\Startup and ..\Shutdown.

I believe its the bgimage in :MSCDial

I believe its the bgimage in :MSCDial

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That's what I thought first, but bgimage in MSCDial just changes the image of incoming calls, not of outgoing ones. WM5 seems to make a difference here. ;)

I'll continue to search for a solution, hints still welcome. ;)

Bye,

DJ
