I have some years experience now with the xda-forum. I'm still very pleased (and that's an understatement) with the existance of it. Besides that I find it sometimes difficult to find what I want. Some of the things difficult to find are the m2d-skins that suits the Polaris with its QVGA. Therefore I had the idea to start this new thread for questions about and some posting of Polaris-m2d-skins, -themes and for skin- and/or theme-developing-questions.
Please give your reaction to this idea by rating this thread.
To make a start, this is my first contribution:
in fact the first real contribution to the world of xda. Most of the credits go to the maker of an KeRohGlass-skin but i can't find the creator of that skin anymore. I used his xml to learn about the correct settings. Secondly I used most of the tabs and pictures. With that in hand I made this one. Most important for me was to make it suitable for my Touch Cruise (QVGA), to have the footprints tab and I wanted the possibility the second appointment shown on the home screen.
I also made the corresponding theme.

I had this problem with the first themes I tried on my Polaris. It has to do something with the settings of the text-rectangular-coördinates in the 'HTCHomeSettings.xml'-file. There are a few posibilities (when the problem did occur with the skin I posted, otherwise there are others), I'll try them in these order:
1. Try a soft reset.
2. You can try to disable tochflo (settings - today- items - TouchFLO) before installing the new one. After installing the new skin soft reset en enable touchflo again.
3. Aply the theme with the 'windows-download' instead of the m2dc-one, it's also attached to the first post now.
4. Overwrite the HTCHomeSettings.xml-file in your windows folder with the one I aplied in the first post.
Please report me if this stil doesn't work. Its best that you give a screenshot in your post. You can make screenshots with the following app.: View attachment GetPDAScreen.zip

Hi, Can i know how we apply the theme in storage card? when i change the theme frequently, my main memory occupied by themes and dunno which file should be delete...
i can only get one calender appointment to show when installed on my kaiser.

went through the options described above and installed via m2d and the windows method but still no joy.

This depends:
1. When you install m2dc it's easy to find your files. In that case they must be under program files - m2dc - themes. In m2dc it's also easy to delete them in it's main menu. So when I was you I would install m2dc.
2, When you do't use m2dc its more difficult but when you're doing it the right way you will overwrite the old files when you install a new theme.
3. When your memory is still full. Disable touchflo (under settings - personal - today - items). Search tot files that start with hh_... (hh stands for Htc Home) and delete theme. Then reïnstall the theme of your choice and re-enable tochflo. It's best to do a soft reset afterwards.

I'm not sure if it works with Kaiser to. Did you overwrite the HTCHomeSettings.xml file with the one I posted in the first post? In most cases that will work.
Yust give a shout here when it's still not working. Maybe I can help you in an other way.
Greetz, Steady Ron.
yes, tried the xml file also but that made the clock messed up and the calender still only had one option showing.
never mind, it works well apart from that bug i mentioned on the kaiser.

well, no succes. What I found for you was this: View attachment 181384. You can extract the clock-btn from it (it's the 'hh_hm_clock_bg-file).
I don't know how to make top- and softkeybar transparent. You can try to search in the windows-folder for the file and replace or edit it but that means a lot of search-time.
For the transparent slider, you can try to edit mine (it's the 'hh_fw_tabbtn-' and the 'hh_fw_tabbtn_mask-file') out of the windows-skin-folder in the first post.
As you can see it's not much for the moment but I'm gonna try further.

It's not that difficult to learn. What you have to do is find the skin and when it's a m2d-file you have to install it first on your ppc with m2dc. After this you can copy al hh_.....-files to your pc and edit al of them. When the skin is brought to you in a windows-format it's a lot easier because you can skip the m2dc-step. What you can do first is have a look at all your hh_.....-files that are installed as your current skin. I've learned it myself in the same way, the only thing you need is patience and time.
You can also try to get some help here.

I say neonstorm's post the other day where he replaced the HTC images in the /windows directory to make new skins. His skins are nice and worth checking out. The weren't exactly what I wanted though.
So... I figured I could do the same thing. Below are a few as examples. I have the WM themes that goes with each one except for the grass if anyone is interested. I thought I would offer to make a few custom skins for people if you are interested. The themes support both portrait and landscape modes. They are QVGA only though.
To Install:
Unzip all images (png) to your /windows directory. They will overwrite the existing HTC Touch Dialpad images. (I have included these below in case you want to revert back) Next, reboot your phone, or disable it off (airplane mode) and end the cprog.exe program. Re-enable the phone and you should be good.
To Request:
If you like this style and would enjoy having a custom skin just ask. I will need an image or both the portrait and landscape modes. If you would rather, just put up the .tsk file you are using for your theme and I can extract them. Depending on the response I will try to get them done within a day or so.
There have been a few other designers step up and help with requests. Most of these start around page 17. If interested check them out! There is a little more information in this post.
Well, I am not a programmer so this is about all I can currently do to give back to this community, at least for now. Let me know what you think! I hope you enjoy!

Wonder if it's possible for these types of dialers to make the buttons transparent, that way, you can just change the dialer background and easily change the dialer theme.
Also, this can work with sprint HTC Touch, but you need indialer_accu_p.png and indialer_accu_l.png which you can make from copying the number bar from the main screen dialer.
Thank you for your great contribution, you are such an artist.
I want to ask for help in creating a new skin for dutty dialpad (forgot what it's called), I found it in hermes or kaiser thread.
Here are the pictures of this dialpad:
And this is the cab file:

I want to turn it into blue one, like O2 defaullt theme, or may be Vista theme,to fit with Poorlyduck's vista suit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350011

ok i have a problem. I extracted the files into my windows directory and when i reboot there are no numbers on the dialpad. just the background. Also the jigsaw zip is actually the grass one.

Sorry about that. The first post now has the correct jigsaw.zip. As for you number issue? I have not seen this before. Check in you /windows directory and make sure the NmBtn0up_port.png and NmBtn0dn_port.png and the like are there and correct. This is just an image substitution so not much that can go wrong.
Original Touch Dialer Images...
Sorry this didn't get into the first post. Here are the original HTC Touch Dialpad images that are replaced with this theme.
Would be nice...

That was my original intent in making this skin. Just make the buttons transparent and then change one or two images to change the whole thing. I originally tried this, but the dialpad doesn't use pngs with transparent alpha layers. (or something like that) I will used the odd purple for complete transparent areas, but the blended areas didn't display correctly.
I am not an expert in this area though, so if I did something wrong and someone knows the correct way to get partial transparency, I will be glad to post up a generic version. As it is, I did the next best thing for me. Scripted up the slice and dice routine in Script-fu (gimp). Now all I have to do is change the back ground and push a button. Almost as easy.
Glad you like it!
Purple for jeffreynew23
Here you go jeffreynew23! If she wants a different background just let me know what it is. I had some free time and thought I would at least throw one together for you quick. Hope she likes it!
These are great. I like the font on the number pad much better than the techy looking default one. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent work
PhilD41 great work. One of the reasons I haven't been using the touch dialer is that it is so ugly. I just stuck the the WM6 one. If I could get the dialer to look like the rest of my theme I would be well pleased.
I am using the theme attached. But I have a feeling that the dark color will make the names in the smart dial list impossible to read. Have a look and let me know if its possible.
Thanks in advance.

I will try to find some time tonight to play with it. I am currently using a fairly dark theme which is still readable. It isn't black though. If nothing else, it is just graphics so I could always lighten up the smartdial area instead of darken it. Hopefully I will have a screen shot for you this evening or tomorrow and see what you think.
Water and Fire Dialpad
Hey maccaberry!!
I think it turned out quite nice!! The dialpad is attached below. I have included a screenshot from my phone below. I have also included a tweaked .tsk file. I make a small change so the top and bottom bars are darker black. You can see the difference in the image below (right two images).
Let me know what you think. If I have time, I might make a PocketCM theme to go with it and add it to my pShades collection.
WaterandFire
PhilD,
Man you are good. This looks fantastic. I am not sure what your pShades is, but I will have to check it out now that I have seen your work.
Thanks so much for your efforts. I have tried to put back into the forums by answering lots of n00b questions so that the developers have time to develop instead of answering questions. But what you have done here is a great way to contribute too.
Thanks so much!
maccaberry
You are very welcome! I am glad you like it. Graphics work has always been a hobby of mine and theming seems a good way to put it to use. With my wife and 18 month old son our of town for a few weeks I have had some time to play.
After about a week of work I have a set of three themes that provide a consistent look on my WM6 device. The one shown below is pShades-Rainbow. I initially had just a HTC-Touch Dialpad theme, but decided to take the time and create a PocketCM theme to match. Eventually I will have a full set for each dialpad theme in the above link. I am also willing to entertain custom themes as time permits. pShades fully supports portrait and landscape modes for QVGA screens. Let me know what you think!

Examples:
Includes:
The Theme zip file includes the following files:
Today Theme .tsk file
Dialpad Theme .zip file
PocketCM Theme .zip file
Portrait and Landscape .jpg files for S2U2 backgrounds
Sample .jpg file (seen above)
Requirements:
These files are dependent on the following applications. Listed are the version I am running.
Today - WM 5 or 6 (WM6)
Dialpad - HTC Touch Dialer
PocketCM - 0.20 or newer (0.20)
S2U2 - Any (0.99p)
To Install:
Today Theme:
Copy the .tsk file to the root of your device (or "My Documents" dir) and select via Start->Settings->Today
Dialpad Theme:
Unzip all images (png files) to your /windows directory. They will overwrite the existing HTC Touch Dialpad images. Next, reboot your phone, or disable the radio (airplane mode) and end the cprog.exe program. Re-enable the phone and you should be good.
PocketCM Theme
Copy the .zip file to the /Program Files/PocketCM/ dir (installation dependent). Go into PocketCM and select the theme from the "Options" screen.
S2U2 Backgrounds
Copy the images to the /Program Files/S2U2/gfx/ directory as file names wallpaper.jpg and wallpaperL.jpg for both portrait and landscape. To be honest, I use S2V to set my wallpapers for S2U2.
To Request:
If you like this style and would enjoy having a custom theme set just ask. I will need an image or both the portrait and landscape modes. Or an image large enough to be used for both. Depending on the response I will try to get them done within a a week. Family takes up much of my time.
Thanks:
To Michaelr219 for his wonderful Battery Status theme. It can be found with his iStyle theme.
To DvTonder who's green WM6 theme for PocketCM inspired me to create my own.

Humm. Must be because I am using Total Commander. Try disabling you phone (radio) and closing the cprog.exe program. You may need a tool to view processes and end them. In WM list of running programs.
Anyone else experience this or have a solution.?
First THANKS 4 fast reply,
Will test it with TC, I'm such a newbie^^, just started modding my phone, kay TC
I've already disabled my phone but didn't find the cprog.exe process, Okay,I will search a TaskTool to find it out

I am sure with the help of the nice folks around here we can figure it out. I wouldn't think disabling the phone (airplane mode) would diable activesync? To be honest, I am a Linux guy so I have never tried copying files via activesync (assuming this is what you are doing).
It might be worth trying something like WM5torage to mount your SD card (if you have one) and then copy them over to /windows from within the phone. That is how I do it anyway. Let me know if you get it working!
Okay, I will never ever copy files via activesync again
THX 4 the TC advice, works well after i have killed all processes xD
BUT^^ after rebooting the dialpad, there is still the same old boring style like before do i have to start the Dialpad extra?^^
Sry 4 my Newbie Questions and sorry for annyoing you
Btw. i installed a Taskmanager called "duttythroy" taskmanager found here, but i can't find it on my phone.^^
I thought i killed the processes with Start->Preferences->(the normal WM6 one) taskmanager?! is Duttythroy only an add-on/extension OR does it run on its own?! im confused.
I only search a tool that shows all processes and let me kill them...

Humm, assuming you have the HTC-Touch Dialer installed from the link above and the images actually copied over to the /windows folder you should have the new dialpad after a reboot or soft resets. The only reason the "end" the cprog.exe process is to load the new images without having to reboot.
As for the taskmanager? I am not familiar with that one, nor did I find much about it. I use TaskManager and love it! Hope this helps.
Nice looking themes.
Glad to see my work helping others make great pocketcm themes
Keep up the good work!
today item order..
PhilD41... first off, these look a pure work of art dude..
OTOH.. how did you get HTC Home plugin to "move" from the top spot on the today screen and have something else show above it??
Whenever I try to do this in setting>personal>today> move item up or down on today, it doesn't let anything go above it! I'm just trying to get Windows Live Search box to go on top so whenever I tap in it, it doesn't get totally covered by my PocketCM Keyboard and making me force to turn landscape mode or or flip the keyboard out in my Tilt...
Sorry for being off topic.. but I just couldn't resist.

Two ways to do it:-
1. You have to edit the Registry
Look in:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home
Change 'Type' from 5 to 4
Stop and start the HTC Home from settings. You can now go into the usual Today options and put the plugins in any order you want.
2. Or use HTC Home Customizer by choosing unlock in options menu u can move HTC Home anywhere u want.
2 questions....
1) What Today Plugin do you have on top? The one with the Speed Dials? Is it simply PhoneWeaver?
2) What's your process when it comes to getting your PhotoContact pictures to look glassy like that? I've been wondering lately how I can set something like that up but I don't know the dimensions of the contact picture and I'm not sure I want to photoshop all my contact pictures.
Best Regards,
Nik

Thanks, I am glad you like them! They took some time, but I really enjoy having the same feel across my phone! I see that tjkhattak61 answered the HTC Home question. Although, it isn't HTC Home. It is Battery Status with the mentioned theme. I think there are a few HTC Home themes for BS.

That would be SPB Phone. I use to use more of the functions, but now just use it as a quick launch and profile change. I think there are several apps out there that do this.

Unfortunately, I am still photoshoping (Gimping) my contact images. I don't know of any program that will display a png with alpha so I am doing it the hard way. I did write a script-fu scrip for the GIMP that automates it. It makes it a little easier.
Thanks for the feed back!!
pShades-Calvary Added
Okay, next addition is up. pShades-Calvary is the first red theme. I am tempted to complete the red reptile theme, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Hope you like it. Anyone have a favorite background they would like to see pShaded?
pshades-pcDude Added
One more for the collection. I still have one or two more I am hoping to get done sometime this week. Still not sure which one I am going to use on my phone. Until then, enjoy my pcDude!

- Page changing almost automatic (after first load ofcourse...).
- Experimental support for flash plugins (need to be configured through TXT files) Thanks TWolf!!

I'm working on a tutorial on how to develop a 3rd party plugin using .NET. It's really eassy (as eassy as extending a control). If anyone is interested here you have my little hello world example ;-).

Is really eassy to fit any .NETCF development inside throttle .

Hello,
if you would like to uninstall the applications, then deactivate first the today plugin,then do a SOFTRESET, then do the uninstallation via Settigs/System/Remove Programs.
I made the experience, that this works to 100%.
I thought this could help the one or the other.

thanks for your great work

Just tried it on my Blue Angel WM6.1
Runs a little slow, seems quite buggy too graphics wise, but a great idea and once refined could become very nice indeed!
Great work!
Coolest app around
I will upload my setup when I get my stupid 19701 build rom working properly
looks great! but, i cant get the default setup cab to install, just keeps telling me install unsuccesful. i tried soft resetting and installing again, to no avail. the actual program itself installed fine. also tried the exe setup and get the file is corrupted error.
nevermind. right clicked then saved target, now file size is right. thanks again for the great app.

Hi Haam!
I've updated first post with the info. It's WM6 and WM5 compatible and I've developed it using VS 2005 so must be compatible with NET.CF 2....

Hi!
Sorry for the bug you may have found... May I ask what kind of bugs are you experimenting? Theorically it must work quite fast on a 400 Mhz CPU like your's. I've tested it on my Herald and works quite fluent.

Hi again,
I tried running it again when I got home from work.
The glitch is now gone. What happened was the wallpaper of my today screen turned grey and stayed grey until I did a soft-reset. Also the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen kept showing up on top of the Throttlelauncher icons.
One thing I notice is that when scrolling the bottom icons, there is a freeze when the second hand moves on the clock.
Also, I tried adding a contact...it seemed to work fine. I tried adding another...then it stopped responding...the new contact didnt appear. I could still scroll the bottom icons, but selecting any of them didn nothing, it didnt respond. I had to soft reset.
Hi!
Thanks for the quick answer!
Are you using the main app (ThrottleLauncher) or the today plugin (ThrottleToday today screen plugin)?

One suggestion tho, when you scroll the bottom icons, the background turns black, can't it be transparent?

Hi!!
You can try making it transparent by two methods (both experimental) but probably it will be too much for a 195 Mhz processor... It's is for my Herald (overclocking to 273 make faketransparency look near smooth). If you wanna try it, access the setup config dialog (Through ThrottleConfig app) and go to experimental tab. There set to true even truetransparency (the slowest option) or fake transparency, click save, exit and then click the reload button.
Thanks!!
good program and it will be a great program once the speed and the bugs get worked out.
I can't wait for the next release.

Most of my errors were due to Certifications, but I changed the rom yesterday night and all that went away. I did what the post said, but no luck. I think that the problem was that I tried to manually uninstall it before I read your post, and I erased the other reg key as well as the program folder before erasing the one in "Security". For future reference (at least for me), order does matter Aw well, i guess it is back to re-flashing for me. Thanks for your help though

Thanks for the screeny . I'll try to figure out a way to hide the tray bar....
About the touchflo 3D... I'm currently working on a new way of scrolling similar to the footer of touchflo 3d. I've it already working but I wan't to improve graphics before releasing. If you mean if you can make something similar to the weather animations and that stuff.... I'm sorry to say no.... Any way I can try to develop a setup close as possible to touchflo 3D.
Thanks!!
So here I am with my second customization thread.
After making my minimal dialer skin click I also found that the Touch Diamond interface for ThrottleLauncher was a bit too dark and playful for me.
So I decided to make a modification to make it all a bit lighter and more stylish. And something like 12 hours later, here I am!
Changed almost all graphics and a lot of settings to make it and app that suits me.

Preview:
In my opnion that looks a lot better! ^.^
Anyway, I am stuck on a few things and I was hoping one of you could help me out.
HELP ME OVER HERE! xD
1. More of a simple question to brainstorm about.
There is a tab Contacts and a tab Settings, how do I have to make a 4 letter icon out of this? Contacts is now PEPL (people) and settings is now CONF (configuration). I don't like them very much so please help me come up with another one.
2. I don't want the background to be black and there are two options to achieve this.
First of all I could make a tsk that would have the my own background. The problem with this is that if I make one in ThemegenCE, it would go from flat black bars to the glossy grey ones.
Secondly, someone could explain me how to modify the config.xml from throttle launcher so it would load it up with the theme and cover up the original background. The problem with this solution is that I don't know wich line to add. (the parameter=texture gave me problems because it said the skin.xml was invalid?) I think the tsk option is the best so that people could still use their own backgrounds.
Anyway, atm I am working on replacing all icons wich is 40% done or so.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. CNFG? PEEP? PPLE? hmmm, i see where the problem is...this is kind of hard. CONF sound really good.
Could you use icons instead of text maybe?

I mean change the 4 letter words to little grey silhouettes or simple images.
As for implementing your background in a .tsk, you need a theme editor program... I used one before but can't think of what its called. Or you could just supply us with the jpg and we can set it as our wallpaper. BTW This looks really sweet, about how long untill it's done?
Ok, I think I will release the wall seperate. Unless someone comes with a solution.
I wont change the text to icons because this just looks stylish
The icons for the settings are complete. Some other things to do but first I need to get me some sleep. Tomorrow I think I will finish it.
Good night.
ADDY or ADDR for contacts.
setting is also a nest of eggs (old usage) but EGGS might confuse too much.
I like simple CONF

What does ADDY stand for? never heard of it. Anyway I think CALL and CONF are ok for now. Maybe I'll have a dream with inspiration.
Good night.
just release a background and people can use the allblack tsk floating around and apply the picture you provide as a background through pics and video with 0% transparency, works fine
privacy issue, sorry
PREF would also do it. Though I'm used to CONF by now and realy like it. I hope I'm done with skinning in about an hour and then only alingment etc.
Looks awesome!!! . Really nice work, I look forward testing it . About your questions:
1) For people.... may be something like "PALS"? And for settings...."TUNE"... Anyway I think that CONF is just right .
2) As I see you have done lot of working with the setup I suppose you already know the tutorial. It's true that it's a little bit unupdated.... So, here's how everything is organiced:
- 1rst layer: the background of the today screen back. Will be shown only if the transparency is set to true on the skins.
- 2nd layer: rowbackimage (this one is not documented...). Here you have an example:
Code:
<param name="rowbackimage" value="rowback.png"/>
What it will do is wrap the image to the row size behind it. This image can be a transparent png to show the 1rst layer.
Hope this helps!! If you still have doubts, let me know!!
- 3rd layer: icons .

Ok thanks al lot!
I managed to get a different BG in the programs tab, by editing the skin.xml in skins/programs. But what if I want to add a BG to e.g. the HOME tab? The settings for the home tab are all in the config.xml and when I add
Code:
<param name="rowbackimage" value="rowback.png"/>
to it, it wont load it up. Is this because the home tab is cut up into different rows?
If you could explain me how to add a ackground into the main config.xml file I would appreciate that alot.

I have found the solution to make High Quality wallpaper in 2.5.191xxx HTC Sense!
This solution let you have your own HQ wallpaper as default wallpaper and weather animation at the same time.
I have a blackstone WVGA ,so i know its working for WVGA devices,i don't have tryed or don't have the files for VGA device,if its working for for you(VGA) or you want too give me the 2 manila files needed too try,say it.
First you need a wallpaper with résolution 480x768(1),if you don't have it then resize HD wallpaper 480x800 into 480x768.
you need also the 2 manila files 4bfcbbee_manila(512x512 png file) & 54612042_manila (512x256 png file).
create new file with size 512x515(3) and very important with resolution"95,987"pixels!!!
Take your wallpaper(480x768) and from the upper side cut it in 480x515 and paste image in the new file you have made before on the left side,you will have empty area on the right side, then resize the file into 512x512.
Ok first image file is ready to replace in 4bfcbbee_manila file(with m9editor),be shure to unckeck "read only" in properties of the manila file first or you can't replace the image file in it,when the image file is replaced with m9editor then recheck "read only" before you copie it back in your windows folder!
Now the second file,follow the same steps as for the first file but cut your wallpaper from the bottom into size 480x256.
create new file with size 512x256(2) and very important with resolution"95,987"pixels!!!
Take your wallpaper(480x768) and from the bottom side cut it in 480x256 and paste image in the new file you have made before(512x256) on the left side too then it will look like this:
Ok second image file is ready to replace in 54612042_manila file(with m9editor),be shure to unckeck "read only" in properties of the manila file first or you can't replace the image file in it,when the image file is replaced with m9editor then recheck "read only" before you copie it back in your windows
folder!
Now copy both manila files you have create into windows folder of the HD,be shure to choose picture wallpaper first in menu on today screen.
When you have copyed both files into windows reset your device first!
When the device as restart then choose weather wallpaper and enjoy HQ wallpaper as default wallpaper
Here you have a screenshot with the result,i use Max Theme ultimate but its working without too.
I have work a long time on it to find this solution!
Im very sorry for my poor english,i hope its clear with this little tutorial and some pictures
Maybe we can use this to make new HDWALL for the 2.5 sense?
Also cookers can use it maybe?
Don't forget to say thanks if this is usefull to you
Tips & Trics
1.How to easy have the exact size to cut your wallpaper on the right position:
Thanks to kilzone who as given an easy solution!
there is an easier way to do this. When you select the marquee tool you notice (in the options bar) the option 'Style' which is probably set to 'Normal'. If you set this to 'Fixed Size' and type in 512x256 you have the exact size in one image (This is the correct way of making a perfectly sized marquee area.)
if someone want a wallpaper,just ask and i will make it for you

If your taking requests then would be nice if you could possibly try these to for me. Thanks in advance
Though your displayed tip is 'correct' there is an easier way to do this. When you select the marquee tool you notice (in the options bar) the option 'Style' which is probably set to 'Normal'. If you set this to 'Fixed Size' and type in 512x256 you have the exact size in one image, without having to open up other images! (This is the correct way of making a perfectly sized marquee area.)

Yeah without the max manila theme the weather wallpaper stays as default, even after a soft reset same result.
Alittle more feedback, the wallpaper seems to be off-centred to the right of the screen (not sure if you noticed this) and i dont mean to be a nit pick about things but thought id mention this.
Although the manila files in mode9 state the size of the pngs are the correct size which makes me wonder why the image is slightly off-centred.
Thanks again!

yes like you said its quit impossible that the right manila files are decentered,maybe because of another installed application?that will be the problem why its not working in normal mode too i think,i have tested it and works fine,also feedback from other users is ok but i will try to give it a look and dobbel check what you say,very thanks mate.
