Ive been have trouble for days trying to get my custom docks to load in my theme, but it returns and error whenever I try. Even users I let try out the theme have reported that custom docks return an error. Can anybody please help me? I've followed EVERYTHING the readme file has describes. Here are pics:
I have put 3 custom docks (first red circle) in the res/drawable-hdpi folder with the proper .png name attach as the readme states (second red circle).
{
"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"
}
Than the readme states to edit the dock_pack.xml file and add the <item> tags without the .png (red circle).
After I install my theme, and go to Theme Preferences, and go to main dock and choose custom > aeolus hd my docks show up
But no matter which dock I choose, it always returns an erorr and does not attach to my theme,
Can someone, experinced ADW Theme makers PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS?! Im close to just saying **** this
Wow, not a soul lol
I got this. Hold on.
Like I mentioned in our PM.
The providers.
look at your Manifest,
<provider android:name="YOURACTIVITYNAME" android:authorities="YOURACTIVITYNAME.Provider" />
You rocking one of those? If not, that is your problem
If you are, Make sure the YOURACITIVYNAME.Provider is there, because if you JUST have the .Provider, it will not function correctly.. and selecting and image will give you nothing.
if you have that right, and are still having problems, respond some moreeee

Hi All,
Been kinda scarce around here lately, since I was checking in today to see what's happening i thought I would share some stuff I put together. The tsk is based off a wallpaper I found at deviant art I think it was from Ken Saunders from mouserunner, The images in the icons i just picked up off the web and tweaked them to suit my needs.
I know everybody is going to manilla 2d but personally I'm going to wait till all the bugs are worked out by the genius's around here before i switch.
Enjoy

What's the name of the program that's at the very bottom of your phone. I like it. It looks like a continuation of the HTC home plugin.
Do you know if you can customize those shortcuts or anything of the sort?
its battery status (now home screen plus plus ), and yes you can pretty much do anything with it if you can set up an xml file.
can these be loaded with HHC (HTC Home Customizer)?
sure, just drop the file in the correct folders in program files, htc home customizer, and then choose whatever you would like.
OK, thanks.
btw i get an app execution error about a missing file from HHV V1.0Final so I will have to revert to 0.8 i guess
hmmm, I have v1.0 and it seems to work just fine on my device, I actually copied the files right off my phone , zipped em up and posted , let me know if there is anymore trouble.
great stuff, thanks
could you remind me of the name of the lower icon bar today plugin ?
thanks,
battery status/ homee screen plus plus, your welcome im glad you like it

use htc home customizer, I tried to upload it but somethings not working, you'll find it if you do a search.Install it then find the files folder in the program and drop the icons in the icon folder, you can then open up hhc and choose the icons. Hope that helps
I was helping my wife to personalize her Diamond when after installing the Diamond TF3D config, tsowen's taskbar and trying out a few different themes suddenly the font size of the volume control increased a lot, making it look very ugly.
I tried installing a new volume control but this doesn't fix the problem. Maybe while changing themes something in the windows folder was changed causing this? Does anyone know how to fix this again? I tried a search in the forum but I couldn't find anyone with a similar problem.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
A lot of people have had this issue, for some reason the Volume screen got englarged, not sure how it happened.
Here is a HTCVolumeControl.dll file (corrected one) that you can swap out using Total Commander, but just so you know, it will change your volume's icons to the following below:
{
"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"
}
I'm not sure if it'll work because you've said you tried already but it's worth a shot. If you want to change those icons you can just edit the .dll file by doing a swap of the icons, remember to Unsign the .dll first, edit the icons, and then re-sign it.
Let me know how it goes or if you have any other questions.

Thanks a lot, that worked like a charm! Now the old boring icon is back again so I think I'll give changing the dll file a shot. Now to find out how to unsign, edit and sign a dll
Okay apparently the first time the phone just put the original .dll file back and the new dll never worked
Right now I got it to work, I get the new icons as you mentioned in your post, but the font size is still large. I tried a few different .dll's such as the original ones in the cab file and the one you gave me, but neither of them seem to fix the problem.
Any other suggestions?
Ive got this same problem.
Not a big deal but ive customized the phone exactly how i want it and this is the only thing left.
Any help please?
I searched through here for a bit, but didn't seem to find anything that specifically addressed my issue, so here goes.
I've recently started trying to theme a ROM, CM based on 2.2, and I'm having scaling problems. I ran into the same thing on some 2.1 ROMs, so I don't think it's Froyo related. Basically, buttons, text boxes, and drop downs are getting all weird on me. The buttons and drop downs are fine in their resting state, but get all ridiculous when pressed.

I have checked image modes (RGB/Indexed), size, color palletes, etc. and all of it matches up to the originals EXACTLY. The only thing that might have changed is the file size.
I know plenty of you guys have this working just fine, so what's the secret? I have Gimp which I use at work, and Photoshop at home. However, Photoshop tends to lose information in Indexed images so I try to avoid it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Edit: And yes, some of the taskbar icons are from other themes, and I take no credit for them. This is for my PERSONAL use and will never go further than my phone. Thanks droidkevlar and sunder74.
You stealing my stuff now? WTF. FIRED!!! ;P
You sure the images are the same size as what the OG was? I had this same issue until I installed PS and resized my images to the correct size. Just taking a shot in the dark, but seems the when pressed png is off on size. I had this issue for select boxes. Once resized, fixed issue.

Just the badass signal thingy, which is now my badass battery thingy. Yeah, they are literally identical. I don't know. Makin me crazy.
Sorry, I wasn't real sure where to put this. The screen shot pretty much says it all.
I'm using the theme here, for MIUI, yet this happens on all the popular dark themes I've tried. It's very hard to see the gray text containing address info against the gray background with the popup results menu in Google Navigation.
Is there an easy fix for this? Thanks.

I've always had the same problem. Never found a solution except to use light themes.

LOL??? thanks for pointing this out.. i just spotted this in my theme and totally missed it.. so im going to work on this right away!!
Certainly, it's like this on a lot of themes, even the default on.
I know it's part of the framework, but I don't know what specifically needs to edited to change this without affecting the rest of the theme.
Have you tried this:
(I'm using a French rom, so all the terms I'm going to use may be not the good ones in English..)
Go to Settings, Applications Manager, search and tap on Google Navigation in your apps list, then de-activate Compatibility Mode.. It worked for me with some unreadable white on white texts..
If it doesn't work (sorry about it, first.. ), just re-activate Compatibility Mode (just in case)
Ok this is basically finished. Just needs a few more tweaks.
Make sure you back up your default mms.apk before you use this one.

idk if the apk on that link works anymore.....I've been working on this a lot today and I got it to the point where it just FCs when you try to open a thread. It's one of the xml files I can either color the text inside the bubbles or put a background on the main page of the app.

Cool...you made it sound a lot easier than when I did this a couple months ago. (I didn't use ImageMagick).
One word of caution, if you are just adjusting hue you'll be ok, but if you inrease brightness or maybe decrease opaticy...you will throw an aapt compiling error. The ticks that mark the stretchable areas have to be either black, or nothing. No imtermediates. What I do is when I'm working with an image like that, I'll just select everything except the 1 pixel border, then I can edit however inside without messing up the 9patch ticks.

I just found this. Maybe it will help, maybe not. I tried to do stuff with those damn .9.png files, but I've had no luck.

Where did that quote come from? lol
Also, I know what is causing the Force closes I just don't understand why it is causing them. I can either make the back ground in the main part of the app black or change the text color inside the threads. I'm going to work with it tonight and prolly just leave the text color black inside the thread and come up with a different color for the bubbles
Okay. The apk on that link is working. There are 2 things I want to change but when I change them it FC's. btw one of them mt can change just fine.... I will get some screenshots and post them here for your viewing pleasure
