Question about images (sizes, etc)

Can the camera only take photos in portrait view, as opposed to the landscape style offered by pretty much EVERY camera in the world?
What should the dimensions be for pics used on contacts (the ones that come up when they phone you)?
What should the dimensions be for Today screen wallpaper, to make it fit exact?
Cheers again

well if you tilt the cam 90degrees and click the picture will be in landscape
and the screen res of xda2 is
176 x 220

I found how to get landscape, in the instruction book of all places :lol: . You press the "contacts" hardware button at the top left of the unit then turn it side ways. If you just turn it side ways it will still save the file in portrait mode.
And I didn't ask the screen res of the XDA. I asked the res required for Today wallpaer, and contact photos. And besides, the screen res is 240 x 320. Where'd you get 176 x 220 from?

RTFM
It's also in the help screen available right in the camera app. Very nice feature, and there are a few others. I'm rather impressed for a "free" built-in camera and video recorder.

i did a search
what makes you think that the today screen would not use the same res that the screen use ? it's like that on a pc
and if a smaller picture or larger picture is used it get resized to fit the screen
i'm sure a theme editor would be helpfull in both making today themes and get info about sizes

You try transferring a 240x320 image to your XDA then "set as Today Wallpaper". Because of the top and bottom bars, the actual space for the wallpaper is more like a square shape, so your image is scaled down to fit this gap, and you get white borders on the left and right.
And yes, I do need a theme editor. I'm on the case

[THE] A bit more green

Hi, I changed some graphics, when they are pressed, they are green instead of black. I think it suits the overall diamond look more. Check out the screenshots for more info.
Also, I changed all in my opinion unnecessary animated gifs (used in mms), bmps, some keyboard layouts to 1x1 pix images to save some space...altogether about 2,5mb. English and german layout is left intact. Please check the zip file for yourself, before replacing all pictures.
Only extract the zip file into your windows directory, and overwrite the files you want to. Its possible, that they will be protected...just soft reset the device, and copy them over right after the phone starts. I suggest you use activesync for that.
Cheers!
PS: At your own risk!
Edit: I attached a cab file thanks to Buusgug. It does not backup the original files though.

Forward the Notion!

veery nice. thanks for that

Hi guys, thanks for the comments, but all the colors were left as in the original files. I didnt want to make the files bigger.
Or did you mean something else?
cheers

i dont know how the changing the color would work, im guessing its some sort of color code. so if all you have to do is change a value, i cant see how it would make the files bigger. but i could be wrong? im sure someone else here knows more.

Aaaah...allright...I didnt understand what you have meant in first place!
You would like to see some peppy colors, right?

can you make it as a cab and in ducht its very nice thx if you can will be great

correct yes!

Great ... gotta give it a try but will need to backup all those that needs to be replaced. How about .cab, which can be uninstalled and all is returned back to original colors
tnx.

Inever created a cab... so will look into this, but if anyone likes to create a cab...just pm me, I will send you all the files!

Cab
i Created this CAB file, it installs the files and does a soft reset..
But it doesnt take a backup of the original files i believe
So be AWARE...

thats pretty cool, maybe red? i'd like that

Can you combine the greener one with this one?

That'd sweet, I wonder if you could change the diamonds default green to match the red?

There are many files which contain no images, and replace the files on Phone that do actually have something in those files .... what are the purposes of such files in the zip file?

Yes, there are already some themes, which look like that. The vodafone one is quiet red, but there is definitely a theme that I saw which only changed the green to red. Try looking.
BUUSGUG: thanks for the cab - yeah, I had problems with creating a backup for the original images aswell...thats why I didnt make a cab

perfect

To lose the least amount of details what I do is, re-size the image I want to use to 384x512 pixels then save it as high quality jpeg file. Then I rename the file to HomeBackground.img. Afterwards making sure there is already a custom wallpaper in use on tf3d, I copy the HomeBackground.img file to windows folder overwriting the existing file. Then to get the new wallpaper displayed I disable and re-enable tf3d.
The process is kind of long but I find it helps in preserving some quality.

Very nice pack, mostly nature and urban, a couple abstract. Thank you. Maybe posting a few pics would make people understand faster what's it all about.

EDIT:
Which I now realise linked to the wrong place in the first post. I've fixed the link up there!

Looks funny and good!
Thanks, and goodluck for the next updates!

i love the idea but honestly speaking, i really dont like the colour theme.. (the red part i mean..i see that the blue is skinable so...it would be nice if it was black like manila or make the application skinable..i'd gladly make some skins if it was like that or help with the graphics if needed

seeing this reminded me of that film "wargames"
I agree about the colour scheme - I look forward to the future developments of this one and will try it when the VS computer option is ready.
Cheers

here is how it loks with a carbon background

This is fantastic. I cant wait for the release that has player vs computer. Colors are a bit loud, especially in the dark. Maybe a color selection option and ability to change background would be great...if possible.

The skin for the game part can be changed (as in the post above), the tabs are part of the ManilaGames framework.
See here for the ManilaGames framework.
With regards to the skin, the two O/X are 120x120 pixels, offset at 0 and 120 pixels (width) respectively. The "buttons" are 90x40, offset by 240 and 360 pixels (width). The background is 480x640 pixels, offset by 120 pixels (height) from the top.

perfect..i see now the file for the slider..i have no idea what to do to make the exe after i skin it.could i send you the skin(s) after i make them?
edit: by the way the lines which show in the middle of the screen during the game. where is its resource located?

Sweet! I can't wait for your next games!

Thanks, It's cool

There is a skin.png file in the install directory.

Quick update to 0.26.
Includes some bug fixes, a slightly redesigned skin, and "push" images that show when you mouse down on a region.

[Request] Picture plugin for Titanium (with folder choice)

I know it already exists one, but its not customizable in what folder to show.
My ideia is to mix some of the already available plugins out there.
The Favorite People plugin already has the show picture part done.
And the System and Weather plugins use mortcript for some extra tweaking.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I was thinking of a simple softkey button that allows the user to choose a folder (with a browse layout).
And a simple mortscript code to list all the available images on that folder, saving it to a text file database or so.
The plugin would have 3 pages (previous, current and next image). Then, as you scroll left or right, the mortscript would change the name of the images on the plugin pages to make a circular order (or random, if that extra setting existed).
The size of the pictures would be much bigger than the current one, like the plugin changes that theDaniel (used here as an example) and KerMiT80 already made. The picture date of creaton would be a nice detail, as shown in the example, but that would probably give much more work than necessary, so it would probably not appear.
Instead, the plugin could show the full count of the images inside that folder, and what number is showing at the moment.
The condensed view could show a text with a picture icon saying "x pictures in folder Y", being X the total number of pictures inside and Y the folder name or path.
And, of course, if you click on the picture it would pop-up the "picture viewer" showing that image.
This would be pretty easy for me to do in flash, but outside flash, not so much...
So, does anyone want to do this? I can help on the CPR editing, some of the registry code and do the dinamyc picture frame with a small shadow...

Someone is already making such plugin, rpereira is designing a slideshow picture plugin with a specified folder.

Thats great news, where did you read that?

hi twolf,need your help

I dont like analog clocks so never installed his plugin before, now that I did I just wanna change it:
The grey area would be extras, in case someone lese would want, I wouldnt use it.

Hi twolf,
It's the thread below where we were discussing the picture slideshow.
rpereira posted a video example of what was possible too.
I personally can't wait for this to be available.
