[new release] VJBaseHue

Guys n Gals,
I've knocked together a small program further to ZeBoxx's request.
It's used to set the colour of the soft keys etc, by command line/shortcuts/launchers.
eg VJBaseHue.exe 187
will give you a nice purple colour

really a cool proggy
I am currently testing code by code...I've tried to key in 3 different conbination code...doesn't seem to work though... now am testing the color coding.

Zack, I don't understand. You mean you're trying to find the right hue code by code? The colour wheel on my website might help you, or basically load up any art program, screengrab your theme, and use the colour picker to find the colour your want. Even the standard Windows Colour Picker in MSPaint will show the hue you need.
Post some screenshots in your VGA themes thread if you have any luck :wink:

I think I got it now :wink:
guess I must be dreaming lol.I was looking for dark blue and not realise that hue does not come with such colors lol...
Thanks Vijay am doing some minor test wiht my themes I'll post some screen shots soon :wink:

I was looking at VJBaseHue trying to figure out how to get the two bars 100% black (still no luck) when I found something else. Modifying the SHColor value has an effect on the tray above the soft keys. Normally it is an ugly line across the today screen that forces up the scroll bar at the same time, the icons like wirelles use the space. After randomly modifying SHColor the line dissapeared and so did the scroll bar. Also the icons moved down and to the right to be in the corner taking up less space. It seems strange that a colour setting can change the whole layout of the today screen, do yo know the reason for this VJ?

I don't know offhand Odeean, I imagine it might be some kinda buffer overflow etc..
Let me know what values you use, and if I ever get the WinMob source in my hands, I'll have a look!
V

Don't worry, I can't copy/paste from my reg editors and the value is too long to be bothered reading and typing I also have not been able to repeat what happened, I only now seem to be able to make it do the opposite. When I have no tray, modifing it brings it back.

contacts pic on today screen

can some one please tell me how i can put contacts pic on today screen,i seen it done with the treo 700 with windows 5.0.maybe some one can tell me of some software to do this,thanks

i use vjays phone tools and set shortcut with custom icon to my today screen launcher.

I also use VJPhoneTools on my Today launcher:

But there is a commercial app called MyPhoneShortcuts which does something similiar ($9.49).

Hi vjay,
when you gonna let us know how get out today screens looking this cool?

Bit busy
Holy sh*t VJ! That's some busy Today screen.

Davebo: Yeah, I'm still not happy about the spare bit of space in the middle (it's actually a plugin called VJTodaySpacer). Will have to put something ridiculous in there too! This plugin, VJEphemeris, is likely to substantially change shape as soon as I get a minute to re-address some of it. With my R&D on VJVolubilis etc, I want to build in one touch wifi/ir/bluetooth control etc, and some other stuff.
The screen looks busy but I find it quite easy on the eye (although I dislike analog clocks. I only did it to see how to do it..I think I'll remove it later)
I only have one screen, no virtual pages etc (yet!). The Quote of the day thing is funny, it auto sizes according to the size of the quote. So you get some long ones that autosize to like 3pixels high. Looks absurd
Has anyone gotten around to ripping the treo 700w rom yet? I'd like to have a look at their contacts dialer.

Wisbar Advanced Desktop will also let you put a shortcut to a phone number. Then I use vijay's tool for email and SMS.

Hi, can i ask what soft is adding icons to your taskbar on top. Thx a lot.

The fullscreen technique is not entirely compatible with WM5 yet. I've not had enough time to get it out yet. Chakra will tell you all about it.

Flash Pimp Clock

Loved the original idea from here:
http://www.tokyoflash.com/en/watches/pimp/p2pusher/

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Its basicly a different visual clock, to read the hours see the left vertical columns and for the minutes see the right 5-rows columns.
The PDF on the site above explains it better...
To use:
---------
- 5 colors to choose from, just press the bottom bar to change colors.
- If you prefer a 12-hour clock, simply click the left numbers after 13h.
- Exit with enter (keypad) or by pressing the top-right area.
- See the "normal" digital clock and date by pressing anywhere else on the screen.
Notes:
-------
- Needs FLASH 7, if it doesnt exit properly, you dont have it.
- Attached the CAB, already with the WM6.5 icon on install.
- Also added a separated swf file, to see it run on your NOKIA, PC or Throttle Launcher..
Enjoy.

Nice idea

Love it! thanks!

it would be cool if it can be a screensaver.
thanks twolf!

WQVGA issue omnia
just wondering if there's a way to make the excess screen on my omnia to default BLACK- then your app would be awesome
maybe even add function buttons - there's some promising update potential
awesome clock - would it be possible to simulate the look of a recessed L.E.D.?
looks good on my armband at the CLUB!!!

Great...very cool with the color options!

Sorry, the software I use for the EXE only allows VGA/QVGA, he doesnt even allow any extra options for the size or screen color.

Use flash pimp clock
I need a macromediaflash for use it. someone can help me?

found it
Yes, yes my first app for the htc diamond.
it`s fantastic........... I`m cry

Standalone app?
Just wondering... what is the program you are using for these standalone apps? I could probably use the same thing to make my own FlashGadgets play as standalones, which would make them work across a broader series of device platforms. Please check out my thread, and tell me what you think. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630985

New mail notification: weird image displaying

I couldn't find another thread for this problem, then again I found it hard to find words to describe the problem so I'm just gonna go ahead and post a screen shot
Anyone else come across this and/or have a fix?
Thanks!

For some reason the picture wasn't displaying in my first post above so here it is! As you can see the new mail number in the green circle is covered by the square slider... the speech bubble was however added by me to brighten up your day.

Friendly bump

All I can say is that that's obviously not standard behaviour.
Have you installed many theme mods?

What extra software have you installed on the device? I don't recognise the 2 icons on the top right as being standard (well, not for me). I'm guessing that the horizontal stretching in the image is not representative of your device? On my HD2 the envelope is more square. Does this happen on all you email account icons? I see you have 3 accounts.
Regards.

thanks for the response guys. to start off with, the ROM i have is 2.01, and i found the download link for it buried somewhere in the 2.01 ROM thread right here in these forums. i didn't know it at the time but it was a cooked rom as the top right icon in the status is actually a task manager drop down menu that has been there since i installed the rom, as well as some other programmes that are not stock.
however to my memory this graphical anomaly shown above was not present from the beginning... yes, it happens to all of the email accounts.
In terms of theme mods i did install HDwall but then uninstalled it as i stupidly didn't realise that it didn't work properly with manila 1922 (if i recall). i made the same mistake with max manila and also uninstalled that. my biggest problems came after trying out dome bg4alltabs mods and 16/20 quicklink shortcut mods, which i should point out that i had trouble completely uninstalling, though they no longer appear in the application list. i believe that the 20 quicklinks mod graphically messed up my home screen by removing all the quicklinks (not even the outlines remained) and causing an ugly grey box to appear on the.home screen which covered part of theleft handside of the clock...?
i can't be bothered to hard reset over this at the moment... i guess one way to perhaps solve it would be if some of you guys kindly posted the relevant stock registry entries on here that are relevant to the problem or indeed relevant to those theme mods that have been uninstalled, as maybe there are still remnants of them left.
however i realise this is near impossible for any one to know the ins and outs of the registry entries that well, at least that's what i feel in my inexperience, so if not then no worries, i can only thank you for your time which i will do gladly

There's an extra taskbar

A couple of days ago the alarm clock in my Mini sounded, so I tried to take it not looking at it, touching the screen, buttons and who knows what else. The thing is, when I looked at the screen, there was a new bar!
It looked like 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"
}
Not exactly, since that's a quick Photoshop work I've done, but you get the idea.
Does anyone know to make it appear again? It was the first time I saw it

just tap at left of edge icon (E or G).

Could you specify where exactly? (in a picture or something). I'm trying what you said but I only get the Notifications window

Exactly below The H of HTC logo at top.

Thanks, but that only takes me to the notifications window... have you seen the image I posted?

i think that might be appearing due to any of insatalled application on my device. and yes it is as per the screen shot(not photoshoped). A zoom button, clock, connectivity, battery, etc.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, but I haven't installed anything like that, that's the weird thing
There's a guy in a Spanish forum who saw that bar once also, but no idea how he managed to show it

i saw a similar taskbar but disappeared the same way you mentioned before

Same here...i was reading a buk using adobe reader when i accidently pressed taskbar..this another bar poped up but was gone next second....i tried several times after that...got it one more time..but not after that..

taskbar
I have this piece some times after I have established foreign taskbar crept out!

I got it. Install X-task. and u will get it every time.

Do you mean this one?
I don't really care about having that taskbar or not, what I'd like to know is just how that happened and how can I see it again.
Mine didn't show and disappeared again, I pressed the zoom icon and my screen zoomed in a lot. Then I tapped the X and the screen went to the normal view, with no taskbar this time.

go for this.

The bar you've seen is probably the original WM 6.5.x bar which is normally hidden by default, due to the HTC bar, might be a bug if this old one appears.

You might be right, I've found this picture
That's exactly the bar I saw
Finally, mistery solved
Thanks so much

How do we get back this original WM bar?

I guess if you disable/uninstall HTC Sense... but dunno how

I've tried that. Didn't work. Still get HTC notifications.

Hi check out this thread..

Sorry unable to post links.
Instal the task manager and whenever you tap the clock you will get the bar pop up.
