Skins are all mixed up - Help please

[Guest allanwb]

Hi All

I have repetedly tried to install skins on my shiny new MPX200 but they always look crappy. The fonts are all over the place and sometimes the remnants from the previous skin are left in place (even though it has been deleted from the phone)

Now I know that most of you guys have no problems skinning your phone so it must be something I'm doing wrong - but I don't know what.

I have tried the Jennifer Aniston skin and put both the .xml and the .jpg into my home folder. They appear on the screen but the text is not where it should be. This is driving me nuts. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong

Have u tried cab'd files followed by a soft reset (restart of the handset)? These should definately work as all of the settings required for them to look correct are set during install and implemented upon startup. Give one of the ones in my signature a go or any of the homescreens in the homescreens section of the forum with the file extension .CAB.

Ps. Welcome to the site :lol:

I had the same problem, figured out that if you uninstall the JMMS client it works fine, after looking in the cab files it seems that during install it changes the registry entries for the msgcount property.

It locks the msgcount to one line i.e

SMS (0) E-mail (0) Mms (0)

even if other layout is defined in the home.xml file for the theme in question....

THIS SUCKS!

Problem is that I have not been able to find any other mms client to replace it with, so it's three options:

1. Live with the ugly original homescreen....

2. Live with no mms.

3. Return to shop..

:evil:
