I'm making a Windows Mobile 6.5 theme for my X1. (Kinda obvious)
I like to fiddle with transparency and whatnot, so I changed the title bar that's used for notifications and popup windows to 75% transparency.
All works well, except the fact that when a popup is opened, it (being the title bar) isn't transparent because the body of the popup is under the title bar image. So I thought "No big, I'll get rid of some of the top."
Unfortunately, Windows Mobile stretches the images it uses for the themes and whatnot, so either there's a huge gap in between both images (title bar and image), or the body image is under the title bar once again if it's shrunken. One example of this is the warning notification for nueClockControl:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The only way this works perfectly is the message box for text messages and other notifications on the bottom of the window:
My guess is that my attempt isn't really possible, because Windows stretches the images to fit the text and whatnot.
If it is possible, or someone has an idea of what I'm trying, let me know. I'll continue developing this theme if it is.
it's true the system seem like will stretch the msgbox. it happened to me too. whenever i'll try to put some images on it, than the size changing (according to texts). maybe there is some other way with registry tricks. But i don't have a clue about that since i'm just a skinner But the idea about making the msgbox title transparant was good. maybe i can adapt it one day.

I currently running ROM:vp3G 3.60.2 full with some addons. I have a few questions though when running the HTcustom 1.8 and setting the clock display under UI to nothing I end up with this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
if you notice the sound icon is gone and the signal strength is cut in half, also if you look closely the color of the small lines just under HTC home are blue, is there any way i can change these to a transparent gray color like on the HTC home bar? Thanks for any help
I think its the same way in all the ROM's i had wondering too, if that is possible to have a transparent thing up there!
well it seems as though the icon problem has nothing to do with HTcustom, I uninstalled it and still have that problem, as for the color I wasnt able to make it transparent, but I did find a nice .tsk at pocketpcaddict forums, it was called windows mobile black vista theme. its pretty nice. It may even be here as well im not sure, if not here is the link to that forum http://www.pocketpcaddict.com/forums/file498.html , and if anyone wants that alienhead background let me know il upload it
For the Today lines you can use ThemeGenCe described here and make them any color you want. I remember reading about the issue with the clock in the top bar, but last time I checked there wasn't a solution. You either had to put the battery meter or the clock. Hope this helps.
Is that an issue with the rom itself? As I posted earlier, I've uninstalled HTcustom and still have the same problem. I do notice though, that I can make it appear when I slide the LCD and make it change orientation, open a program, and as the program is running slide it back closed, the sound will appear. I've done this consistently, but as soon as you put the device in standby and turn back on, or softboot, the problem comes back. Hope that helps in troubleshooting the issue.
For some reason, and this is only after I upgraded to kavana's 6.1 ROM, a few java apps are being cut off by the bottom bar. The first two I've noticed so far as jmIRC and Virca. The text is cut off by the bottom softbar and is not visable until other people (or yourself) types about 4 more lines of text. This is really annoying and makes the app pretty much unusable since you can't see what people are typing until other people start typing things as well. I'll see if I can upload a screenshot from my phone sometime today.
I have a similar issue with the GMail application. When I try to use the options, the bottom softbar blocks the pop up windows for commands, and I'm unable to use it properly.
Here is the picture of my screen when trying to use the app. There is probably 3 or 4 more lines of text that you cannot see for the bottom bar.

I noticed you were using that crappy irc client, i reccomend zsIrc, google it and get the zip not the cab, as the cab won't install, also its for ppc so ya can't set anything up in the menus, but there is a .ini file that is fairly simple to edit and set up all your settings..
good luck.
It's to do with the version of jbed on the phone there is a thread about Google Java app that says about this

I have a QUESTION
I want to have the Stock Slider this mean the White one.. not this Transperant glossy and also i change some of the icons..
The NRG ROM by default is with Glass Slider and etc.. so i make a CAB with the default slider and some more icons that i like.. But after install the cab.. everything is working but the icons when the tab is ACTIVE are not working..
So i know what i do and also every tab have 3 diferent images the one 128x128 for the slider when is off the one 128x128 when you tap on this icon and she become active and one bigger image for the preview when you scrolling around the tabs so
here no matter what im doing the Second file always MISSING and not shown..
Also the files in Manila 2.1 are 05c2a2db
209159ed
270bc5c3
32b0f054
4360e09c
4adbbdc6
4be2ffcb
500a7d24
59cb13bc
6386c5f8
6a0227d7
6a9b807c
im talking now only for the Active images becausse they dont work..
here is one picture what i mean...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"

So this heppand only with NRG ROMS because they are with glass slider by default if i install the cab in diferent rom that is with the default slider everything work fine so i think that there just missing something and i need to know what to do to be able to have the stock slider...everyone who understand from this things can download the Slider and see that ALL is more than FINE i just cant understand why nothing heppand.

It looks like your mode9 files are edited, so they won't show the "icon_on" image...
You have to edit all the corresponding mode9 files to get the front icons back...
If I can help, just sent me a PM.

hi guys
i'm almost finished with my inverted youtube (black/blue). it looks for me great, and i included it as addon in my theme (aroma) yet.
But actually there is a little bug, which i'm not able to fix .
i found almost all bg's and textcolors in res (values/layout). mostly of mods and changes i made in values (resources).
for the moment i've the problem, that the text in settings is black on black background.
i'd like to leave the bg black, like it is and change the text color to blue. but i'm not able to find the textcolor code anywhere.
In my opinion this apk is like coded by lil childs. it's completley disordered. can't find the most of things i'm search for.
for me it look likes the textcolor for settings is taken from framework, but i can't find an external codetag. probably someone can take a look at it.
here you got 2 screens to see what i mean:
1st screen is in settings. there are only subtitles readable, because they're grey. but maintitle isn't readable. this only happens in settingsmenu
2nd screen is in menu, where can be conected with a tv. there, where i marked it red, i already introduced some text. is also black text. i think it's the same problem like in settings. the textcolor comes from framework, but how i told above, i can't find any external tex color code in values or anywhere.

Hello!
I was trying to learn all the date functions, #DRd , #DRm' , et al. but I cant seem to find a solution for my very simple problem.
Im trying to count (and display) the number of days, hours, minutes that have passed since I did something (like shave or watch pr0n).
Im really frustrated, all I had were the built-ins (which seemed to always count to a future date and not up from a date). Title says it all. Cheers!
How about an sunrise sunset arc countdown bar.
Basically, I have a picture of the earth on my wallpaper and I want to see if a status bar can decline around half the globe from sun-up to sun-down. Like one would do with a battery percentage or a clock.
Thanks.
Not really that hard of a request (to you at least) but I really want this clock theme on Zooper since mClock doesnt work for me. Heres a pic and also the .xml from mClock not sure if its workable with Zooper. Thanks for your consideration.
