rlToday shows very small on the Today Screen - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi,
I just installed the RLToday on my HTC Diamond, but it looks so small at the screen!!
It just appears on the left top of the screen, and didn't work if I add the width to the <today> on the skin.xml :S
What i've made wrong?

Thank you in advance

The theme you selected is for qvga resolution, your Diamond is VGA. There is a theme converter at rloday forums I think or just look into the xml file and start tweaking.

Today Screen animated?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if i can make my HTC TyTn2's theme background picture animated?
I copied the animated.gif to the windows folder but that did not work either. nothing is animated on my phone
I don't believe that you can animate the today screen on the Tytn II to get an animated screen your gonna have to add either S2U2 V.95 or S2U2 pro than you will be able to add animated wallpapers to them....... Merry Christmas
TodayGif
There is a Tool called "TodayGIF".
It's not the whole background you can use afaik, but it's working with animated gifs on your todayscreen...check the thread, maybe it's useful for you...

I want your theme.

Hello,
can you guys tell me if this is a standard theme that came with your s730? On my s710 I can only get either or (htc home screen with non of those recent program icons at the top, OR, the recent icons but no htc home..)
I would like this theme
Thats a modefied version of the default screen for the s730. That person edited the XML home page file and added the shortcuts ontop of the screen. Mine are larger and under the calender info bit.
The standard screen however is that without those shortcuts anywhere on the screen.
Ah thank you. I shall now try my hand at editing an xml file, haven't done that for awhile!
That looks like the MRU plugin CLD is smaller than the one I have... I tried to do this, but couldn't figure it out. How do you do that?

Question on Theme (.tsk) and TouchFlo 3D

Dear All,
Since the TouchFlo 3D eats up a lot of resources and makes my diamond hangs so I have turned it off from Today,
and I have created a VGA theme by using ThemeGenCE and use it in diamond.
Here comes the questions,
First: When I apply the VGA theme the wall paper only show a part of the full image, just like QVGA device using VGA theme...... Are there anything needed to set in registry in order to display a VGA theme?
Second: I disable the TouchFlo 3D in today, is this the way to turn if off? or it will still run in the background?
Hope someone can help me~~
Thx in advance~~~!!

I also disable the TF3D from today by I tested with TF3D configuration tools to turn off all the TF3D taps and found that my ram after reboots is higher. FYI.....

You have to set DPI to 192 if you want a VGA Today screen.
See help file which comes with ThemeGenCE and the tutorial here :

[REQ] High Resolution Wallpaper Editor and Manilla Cab Creator for VGA screen?

is there any application that can make a High Resolution Wallpaper for the VGA screen device like the one for the WVGA screen device in the blackstone forum?
link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470798
the cfc editor also works for our VGA resolutions.
steps:
turn off manila
under device, go and patch manila
then under the tf3d, apply the xbmod patch (if that's what you're using)
then tf3d > create background
photoshop your image to the given sizes. (choose vga landscape or portrait to see sizes)
load up the image and save. it will split the images. you can do this for both portrait and landscape (i have different backgrounds for each now)
after you load up your images and they show up on the panel on the left, hit CTRL-F.
yes to compression, yes to trim.
then transfer to device. although keep backups of the files being replaced incase anything goes wrong.
this replaces your default background. so just go to settings and choose to use default bg and that's it. one side-effect is that i have backgrounds on all tabs now. not that i'm complaining.
woot, finally high quality backgrounds. those grainy bg's from before were really getting to me. this makes changing backgrounds harder, but i like my quality.

PocketCM Keyboard (W)QVGA & (W)VGA skin "Black n Green"

Hi, this is my first post - so I hope I've not made any mistakes/bads...
I thought I'd share my first PocketCM Keybaord v0.14 skin called "Black n Green" with you all.
I created it because I've gone for a black theme on my kaiser with green as the highlight colour for selected text/buttons/menu item etc..
To use it you will need to install PocketCM Keyboard v0.14 (available freely from the author's own website, go google it).
To install the skin:
1. Unzip and copy the two files to the directory PCMKeyboard is installed in on your PPC (\Program Files\PCMKeyboard by default).
2. Select PCM Keyboard as your keyboard (use arrow next to keyboard symbol)
3. Go to the options for PCMKeyboard (On keyboard: press & hold enter then slide finger to Opt. button)
4. Select Eng black_n_green for the layout
5. Select black_n_green for the skin
6. OK
It's QVGA, should work with any 240px wide screen (I think). I haven't got a VGA device (using a Tytn II) so haven't done a VGA version. It works in landscape too, although I use the Tytn's keyboard then
I'm thinking about making the shift key bigger (by making the delete key smaller)...
> > U P D A T E < <
Many thanks go to RR33 who has very kindly done the VGA conversion with the hres images I supplied. I've added the (W)VGA version to the ZIP in this post. Last screenshots are VGA
Hope you like it,
Karl.
Yeah PCMKeyboard is one of my favorite SIP and v0.14 is better than v0.2x to me
Very nice, keep up the good work
it would be nice to do a (W)VGA version : I can do it to complete your work if you want and if you have PNG in higher resolution than QVGA (it's not good to upsize pics from QVGA to WVGA as you know)
Official Link to PocketCM Keyboard v0.14 : HERE
Resources for (W)VGA conversion
Thanks RR33 for your kind words.
I've created the key.png and key1p.png for VGA resolution (assuming that the dimensions are doubled). For the QVGA skin I then used these to create the B/M/E parts... The rest are supplied as masks for alpha channel in the hi-res image (enter, shift, backspace).
I also put in some mod'd buttons with brighter reflections, but haven't tried them out. Also attached all as a ZIP.
I'm not going to create a VGA version as I have no way of testing it... but feel free to have a go.
ok, I'll make the (W)VGA port
Change of layout
I've just noticed that the layout doesn't include a '?'. I've updated the layout in the posted ZIP with a new layout and included a few other improvements so more symbols are accessible on a long press:
long SHIFT:
\|[]<>{}_~​long comma:
!"£$%^&*()​long full stop:
'/#@;:=?-+​and a EURO SYMBOL from long £
hi
So here is the VGA-WVGA skin
I've modified 2 things
- shift symbol : I added a 2nd shift to show the difference when key is down
- internet symbol : earth instead of IE logo
Thanks RR33! I've updated the first post accordingly.
I like the idea of the second shift symbol, might put that into the QVGA version.
I now realise that I didn't give you a .?123 graphic or the feedback graphic in VGA... Anyone desperately need those? or is the RR33 conversion OK? (I can't check with the Tytn2 what it looks like).
I might also get rid of the .? and just have 123 for the symbol key...
huh...very strange, nothing happens if I tap the arrow beside the default keyboard, so I can't change it.
I know it is sounds like a noob question, but the last time I checked, it was possible to change keyboards this way...
Cheers,
Arnold

Well I've just rewrote .?123 with the same font and it looks good to me. You can downsize the 2 shift png for QVGA if you want (there is also a line to add into settings file in order to activate 2nd shift)

I know how to do it, but for some reason, nothing happens when I am tapping on the arrows next to the keyboard icon in the bottom of my screen. Very strange, as I used it often. Even after soft reset it is not working.
Cheers,
Arnold
ok, so try to activate PCMK14 with Ervius Sip Selector (keyboard selector) available HERE then reboot/soft reset your ppc
thanks so much for your help, that did the trick (what a great little program by the way). It looks great, I made a very dark phone style with sktools and was searching for this kind of skin, so....thanks a lot ;-)
Cheers,
Arnold
