hi. hope someone can help me please.
i am working on a theme port and im almost complete except... the unlock image is not correctly aligned wwith the slider on the left side of the screen.
i can visibly see that the unlock image is closer to the left screen edge than the volume icon is to the right edge. both tabs are mirrored correctly. the volume icon sits perfectly over the dimple on the right tab but the unlock is about a quarter of the width of the image out.
i am new to this. i looked through the layout keyguard xml files but didnt see anything that determines how each icon justifies to each side of the screen.
this on a gb rom theme.
can someone please point me in the right direction?
apologies for my grammar and punctuation. i wrote this ug s bluetooth remote
thank you
may i see ur screenshot>
Hi,
This was ages ago. I cheated and made the image bigger

My T5358+ was working fine except for the digitizer. So I order a replacement from China (I'm on Peru, at the other side) but the digitizer was not exactly of the same size.
Device works well but the original digitizer was slightly larger to support the zoom bar (swipe left and right actions). The new one doesn't cover this area.
So when I try to use Windows everything works fine, except I can not touch bottom bar commands because the zoom bar area is apparently "over" the bottom bar. If I use the image viewer I can make zoom dragging over the bottom bar.
If I rotate the screen, the bottom bar works fine because it's moved to another place not below the zoom bar.
So I want to disable the zoom bar to let windows use the entire touch area. I 've spent some hours looking at the registry for some value, but no luck for me.
Thanks for your help.

I don't think that you can change anything in here.
You should get proper touchscreen.
Note: This is a work in progress.
Note: All Image manipulation is done with GIMP.
Note: This guide is mainly for the A101 but can also be applied for the A70.
I was getting sick of not be able to take a good picture and use it as a wallpaper so that it looked good. I know there is an alternative "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper" but that thing is a memory hog.
PART 1
So I came up with this picture it's a PNG of 1200x1024. The different grids are the following sizes.
Blue: 8px
Green: 16px
Red: 32px
White: 64px
When this is set as a wallpaper we can finally see what is happening to the image.
Here are the screenshots for the 5 screens of the Stock Launcher of the Archos 101.
Screen 1
Screen 2
Screen 3
Screen 4
Screen 5
Since the status bar can not be hidden on the Stock Launcher we loose 32px at the top and on the right with the soft buttons we loose 40px. When positioned on the first screen we have a good view of the top left corner (1024x600) of the reference picture.
Now lets get to work with this picture below.
Size: 1680x1050
So what do we need to do. The result must be an image with a size of 1200x1024 for the A101 and 960x800 for the A70 where only the top 600px (A101) 480px (A70) will be visible in landscape mode.
Scaling the image to a height of 600px and keeping the aspect in mind. The result is a picture of 960x600
On the bottom add a 424px black border.
On both sides add a 120px black border.
and the result is
Size: 1200x1024
And the screenshot to prove it works.
This was tested with the Stock Launcher and ADW.Launcher.
PART 2
So this worked out because the original picture has a black background. So here is the solution for other pictures.
I made a multi layer xcf file with GIMP to address the problem. You can download it here for the A101 and here for the A70.
Open WallPaper_cropping.xcf in GIMP.
Select the "Background" layer.
File -> Open as Layer -> select the picture you want to crop.
Scale the layer to 1200px width and keep the aspect correct.
Position the layer so that the visible part looks good.
Turn visibility on/off so that only the layers "Background:, "The Picture", "Black Not Visible Part" are turned on.
Save the image as PNG with option "Merge Visible Layers"
Send to archos and apply as wallpaper with the Crop Wallpaper app and use the "Overall" button.
This is all for today. Next We'll see if we can do something with extending the background instead of cropping it.

reserved for thanks ;-)
many thanks
Worked fine for landscape But when I turn it portrait there is a black bar at the bottom - How do I get it to fill in that black space??
Using ADW Launcher if that has any effect on it...
Would put up a screenshot but the forum won't let me...

There is no way to do both landscape and portrait at the same time. So you have to choose.
ah ok- Thanks anyway.
Thanks wdl1908. It will be difficult for me to explain because of my poor english. But with your settings and my A70it it didn't (the image was too high). So I have set the top of my image at 183px and the bottom at 644px and now it's perfect. Maybe someone with skills could check those values cause I'm a newbie.
Thank you very much.

If you attach your original wallpaper I'll look at it to see what the best method is.
So this is my actual wallpapaper. In landscape I see everything of the middle layer and not the 2 others (normal). And in portrait I don't see the face of the guy on the first layer. But this is not important cause those layers are just there to fill the blanks in portrait mode.
The original picture was found on socwall and was 2500*1324px

Very nice wallpaper. I usually don't bother with the portrait mode as long as the landscape mode is shown correctly. I would just cut out the middle part and use that to fit into the portrait visible part of the template.
I'm not 100% sure if this is the right sub-forum for this question, but hopefully someone can help or at least point me in the right direction.
I'm making some minor tweaks to my Note 10.1 (2014), and as part of the process I swapped out the images for the "grab tab" to make it less conspicuous on the screen. The one other thing I would like to do but am unsure of where to start or how feasible it is would be to alter the "snap-to-center" position of the tab. The app calculates the center-point of the home screen but does not account for the area used by the notification bar, which results in the tab actually being slightly below center when it has been snapped to the center position, which isn't that noticeable in the landscape mode but it's (almost) right next to the home button in portrait mode. To put it plainly, this stimulates my OCD in a very negative manner...
So, does anyone know where I might find the script/code that controls the "snap-to-center" functionality so that I could try making some minor alterations? I browsed through almost all of the XML files in the decompiled app and didn't see anything obvious, but it seems like it should be in there somewhere, right?
I've attached a photo that kind of illustrates what I mean by the position being lower than center and its relative position to the home button. (Please excuse all the smudges on the screen!)
I promise I'm not a noob to the G3! Perhaps I'm just losing my mind a little... When I first got the device I played around with it and added customs icons on the home screen just for fun (and soon removed them). I want to try some new ones out but it's not working like before. I obtained what I wanted from Icon Archive (as before). I threw them on my phone and they are showing up when I go to add custom icons. However, it goes to crop them (and it seems alright - the crop image is small when looking at it but the the entire image is selected. When I confirm, the new custom icons on the home screen are tiny. What am I doing wrong? I downloaded the icons from different icon packs so I highly doubt there's an issue with the dimensions of all of them. Am I missing a step? Thanks!
Figured it out. Needed higher resolution images after all.
I have a Galaxy Tab 3 7" with Android 5.0.2. Quite often on the bottom right hand corner of the screen, generally when in a web page, a red lined square appears. Nothing in the square, other than the underlying page, and if I leave it it shrinks the page. If I get it quick enough with the cursor and move the top line of the square upwards it turns blue and the page stays full size. My guess is that it is something to do with multiple screens, but I have not located anything to tell me how to switch it off or to use the function. Pls help, and please excuse my lack of appropriate terminology, so I hope you can understand the issue.
