Guest Crispy Posted August 5, 2003 Report Posted August 5, 2003 Hei ... that really captures the windows "spirit" ... nice :)
Guest joparp Posted August 5, 2003 Report Posted August 5, 2003 Hey... neat skin. One question, can I customize the list of applications (PhotoAlbum, Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer and MSN) on the drop down list. Thanks a bunch.
Guest randy Posted August 5, 2003 Report Posted August 5, 2003 @joparp: short answer: yes long answer: you have to edit the images i used and the shortcuts in the xml. :) ~randy
Guest joparp Posted August 5, 2003 Report Posted August 5, 2003 Thanks, randy. I noticed that once I received an email, on the Home Screen, there will be an email icon on top of the "Start" icon.
Guest joparp Posted August 5, 2003 Report Posted August 5, 2003 yeah.. can't avoid that. :) That's still cool, randy. I really like this familiar "Pocket PC" style. Anyway, I've just found out another question. It's strange that when I click for the drop down menu, it will start from Inbox, Calendar and Profile, and then skip Photo Album, WMP, IE and MSN, to the last one "Settings." I'm not sure what I do wrong. Sorry for so many questions about this, I've just really like this skin and try to make it work on my SPVx. :oops: Thanks.
Guest randy Posted August 5, 2003 Report Posted August 5, 2003 oopss! looks like the clsid i used is not working with your version of smartphone. try replacing clsid="{30DF3430-0266-11cf-BAA6-00AA003E0EED}" with clsid="{A1536C57-6AC2-4c31-9542-B144B0E9D076}" hope this works ~randy

Please guide me through this. Thanks a lot. PS. Hope this is not the first and last skin you would make after all these questions... :oops:
Guest JoelRae Posted August 5, 2003 Report Posted August 5, 2003 Yeah, I think I saw something about e-100's using slightly different homescreen plugins on the modaco skin thread :roll:
Guest randy Posted August 5, 2003 Report Posted August 5, 2003 pls check if this one fixes the "incompatibility"dx_ppc2003.cab
Guest randy Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 somebody said that he was able to fix it. im waiting for him to send me a copy. i'll post it here then.

Guest kroblanx Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 Wonderful theme. Would it be possible to display the appointments for the day as well at the inbox on the homescreen? How can it be done? It will be simply perfect if it does.
Guest randy Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 i can also do that but that's not how i designed it. i want the menu to pulldown with just a "click". if i'll do what you said, those will have to be selected before the menu pulls down.
Guest kroblanx Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 Could you post the code so that I can modify your theme myself? I just think it would look so good if it has a Today screen similar to PPCs. I see a problem for me putting those plugin icons (calendar / inbox) there however.
Guest midnight Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 why not just copy the xml file from the phone? :)
Guest kroblanx Posted August 7, 2003 Report Posted August 7, 2003 I've done this already and tried fiddling around with the XML. I tried modding the homescreen and it appears that it's broken in sections. Fine. Cropping this image, pasting that (using PhotoShop), resulted in a custom Calendar section one-liner text field that has a filesize 3x that of randy's Carrier and Owner files (that I assume may result in an overall phone slowdown when implemented). Lowering the image quality of my modded images results in a lower filesize but an image quality that is way off randy's images (ugly). Pasting the Calendar and Inbox plugins should not be a problem although I don't know how to space the text similar to randy's alignment. I'll try modding this theme some more in a while, but I just can't seem to get over my images having such a big filesize (about 9kb compared to randy's ~3kb). Any suggestions? Randy, I hope it's okay with you that I mod your theme. I'm not posting it anyway. Cheers!
Guest randy Posted August 7, 2003 Report Posted August 7, 2003 no prob. im actually looking for someone like you to make my skin work for all smartphone users. im close to change my ROM. :)
Guest slick_b_69 Posted August 9, 2003 Report Posted August 9, 2003 Hi Randy, nice skin! I ve got a question thought, ive edited the images and the xml files such that the programs are the ones i used. When i click on the program on the drop down list it wont open the program. This only occuse for the photo album app which i replaces with photo viewer. The app is installed on my sd card. Got any ideas? Thanks. Here's the xml part of what i edited:
Guest randy Posted August 9, 2003 Report Posted August 9, 2003 try making the location of app narrower. like this... Storage CardRSmartView.exe
