Themes on the universal, landscape mode only shows half.. - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Wondering, i have this lovely .tsk theme i wanna use, shows great in portrait mode but only shows the top in landscape mode is there a way to put it to stretch?
Because i saw somewhere that it should show stretched in landscape mode.
hmm :?:

NOTHING u can do except change over to lakeridgesoftware's WAD (wisbar advance desktop). WHich u should do anyway...

ehh
true that is what i thought but where do i download the wisbar advanced desktop ? only a link to wisbar advance 2 on their website
:?:

You don't have to change over to WAD (not saying you shouldn't) the problem is the tsk file you have doesn't have any landscape images.

strange i though that Vista_VGA.tsk did hmm let me check it again.
:lol:

ok
Ok installe wisbar advanced and wisbar advanced desktop plugin (wad)
now it does what i want LOL
but
the portrait screen is a different one of the landscape one right? because in portrait mode i see contacts etc but not on the landscape ..
hmmm kinda logical because the screen moves but.. would be nice to not have to add alle buttons twice hehe
:twisted:

Today Screen Vertical and Horizontal mode

Anyone can help me to find .tsk (today screen) with Vertical and Horizontal mode?
Those in Microsoft mobile website is only made for Vertical mode :-(
Thank you in advance.
Arto.
the default bliss works well in both modes. I also made a few themes that support both. here is a link http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/profile.asp?ID=94874
hope this helps
kung fu hussle look a bit blurry
yes i know. couldn't get a better quality image that I wanted for the theme. sorry about that.
Thanks for the link for download.
Actually, I am looking for the simple one like what microsoft have on their website. The orange, green, and yellow themes. Unfortunally they are only in Vertical mode. The blue themes that come with the unit (O2 XDA II mini) is vertical and horizontal mode.
Could you create something like that?
Thanks again.
Arto
send me the image you want so I can make a theme for you. i'll make it so that it works in both landscape and portrait. bnycastro(at)yahoo.com
which software to use to make today screens?
I use Thememaker McDeb.
@ bnycastro, could you make some screens of Elektra?
or some Korean movies.
it would be better if you sent me the images you want used. then i can try and make some themes.
If you download the microsoft theme generator that will let you design a vertical theme. And if you download the SPB Extended Theme Generator from SPB it will allow you to create the horizontal theme as well. Works nicely and best of all its all free. Just make sure you read the instructions for SPB carefully to figure out how to do it.

Themes

I have found that almost all theme are not full screen when you switch to landsape mode...
Is there any way to force the theme to stretch or are there any themes that are better for landscape mode,
simply use your own image file sized 320px/320px as the background
robdes you can also make sure that the theme you get is landscape ready, I usually make themes that are landscape ready [for wm2003se and above], I use McDeb Thememaker as MS's Thememaker has long become stagnant.
for some examples click: http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/profile.asp?ID=94874
Where are good places to find Windows Mobile 5 themes? I did Google but with not much success.
Any PocketPC Theme will work. The only difference is that WM5 doesn't completely follow the themes instructions for colors [WM5 now uses basehues as discussed by ZeBoxx in the Wiki]. If you intend to use the device in landscape try to get a theme that is landscape ready I guess trial and error? Or make your own... http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/ is a good place to start.

Theme Program for WM5 w/ Auto Rotate??

Does anyone know of a good theme generator program thats compatible with WM5 that has the auto rotate feature??? I need the picture to auto rotate when i go into landscape mode.
I tried Pocket Theme Manager 2, ThemeMaker McDeb & Theme Manager Pocket Plus...and all of them dont have the feature for auto rotate. You cant even choose which part in picture you want to show up in when ur in portrait mode.

Aboinger, I am also interested in exploring Ultimate Launcher. Your Athena Ultimate Launcher Interface looks so nice. How did you do that? Can you explain step by step. Cos I also installed Ultimate Launcher, but Ultimate Launcher can only slide from right to left or vice versa, functions like the "easy shortcut". But Ultimate Launcher cannot move up and down.
Landscape is supported and works perfectly fine...
my ultimate launcher is also limited from side to side / fade animations
when you are in the tabs option and hit create new it should give you an option to add in plugins / shortcuts
what exactly did u need help with id be more than happy to help
Where download the ultimate launcher?
its an exe so its in a zip
dont know where the cab for the english version is ...
updated video to include ftouchsl / new UL interface

Better!...
I know this is a thread to demo the UL (which I just got put on two days ago....awesome software). But boinger, I notice that you have flames on your S2U2. One: where did you get that animated background for it? Second: your S2U2 looks as if it was designed for VGA....mine looks like a stretched QVGA screen. How can i get mine crisp like yours?
Thanks buddy. Nice layout..
BTW....I'm not sure what the version that was linked earlier in this thread....but I found the english version here!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365334&highlight=Ultimate+Launcher&page=2
yes this one is the english version
and about S2U2 i changed the graphics for vga.. you can do that simply by editing the .png's
i just changed the clock files to be honest.
and in real vga mode the slider doesnt work. so i enabled dpad support cause the screen mapping is off.
i can send you the flames gif... i got it off another member and edited it for vga.
You said editing the png's. Does that mean you changed the icons themselves, or you adjusted the values of the png to fit VGA? Just a little confused on that. Or all together, did you edit the pngs in a software such as Adobe Photoshop? If that is the case I might have to ask are you willing to share....thats a little over my head.
Yes Please email me the flame background...[email protected]
I might go back to S2U2 because of this.
Thanks boinger....appreciated buddy!
the blue flames jpg is attached
and i wouldnt mind sending you the vga clock files but that should be in the clock pack already
boinger,
What sort of icon format does ultimatelaunch accept. Is it only ico? What about png format?
only ico
you can use 32bit xp icons though.. so they look just as nice... only dillema is you have to convert most icons from .png
i can upload my ico icon pack for you all if you like ?
how can i use icon(bottom) like you?
i like your style..
looks nice..
i tried but.. i cannot use it.
i do not know how i set the icon.
i like icon linked like iphone..
please, let me know how you set yr advantage.....
That would be awesome if you uploaded some of your icons boinger. I'm also trying to find some to share here as well.
I'm struggling a little with the "not activated" signs in the corner. I have registered this app, and entered the code twice. Soft-reset. After a couple of minutes and some navigation, they reappear.
I searched for some answers, and it seems there isnt a fixed from what I was able to find.
Anybody else having this annoyance!!
Thanks
here ya go
Thanks boinger. These are nice buddy!!!!
I think I have the wrong version of S2U2. I just took the WM5 version that I used for my x51v. I say this because, I cant use gif. as a wallpaper for it. I'm assuming that I might not have the most current version.
Lastly, I have been trying to incorporate your icons, but for some reason UL will not show them when I select them. I can only use the default icons that come with them.
Any ideas!!!
I don't seem to be able to enter text for the application icon, although I can see that the config icon has a description.
What is the trick to enter this text?
I'm also unable to choose tab icon. Does tab icon got to meet certain criteria for them to work?

set the icon size to 72 x 72 that should work..
UL wont show icons unless they are the proper size...
and im running s2u2 .99c

landscape wallpaper

sorry if its a stupid ? but Is it at all possible to have a separate landscape pic than the portrait one if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated thanks
No, I don't think so!
Yes it's possible, there are available today themes floating around.. that when you slide out the keyboard and switches the screen to landscape, it would display a diff background image on the screen diff from the portrait background. I think i saw that first on the Wizard forum..try to search for it...
