imate SP5 Home Screen Customization

[Guest ssbn04]

I've used Ruttensoft 1.3.2 to build several different homescreens for my i-mate SP5. In each case, there is a narrow band across the bottom of the screen that remains unaffected by the design. The band is there irrespective of the size or type of the background picture. I suspect that the band is somehow "reserved space" for the soft keys in older releases of smartphones or windows mobile. Does anyone know how to remove this band and have the custom homescreen use the full display height?

I have the same problem. I changed the soft keys colors to match the background of my skin, and this "solved" the problem. The soft keys were not the color I had chosen for the background, but were the same color as the color I had chosen to highlight menu selections. This might be a coincedence since I chose dark grey as my Highlight color. Anyway, you can always refer to my topic to see if anyone has anything new about the subject.

And the answer is the same here. The imate SP5 is a QVGA device and Ruttensoft is not for QVGA screens.

I resolved the issue by copying my design's xml page from the SP5's \applications data\home folder and modifying it as follows:

was originally:

is now:

and the background fits correctly.
