S2U2 Wallpaper Help Needed - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hey I need help with changing the wallpaper. I have been looking around everywhere and nothing has helped me. I would appreciate it a lot if you can help me out. I wanted to know 2 things.
1) is there any way to make a folder or have a folder with my OWN made wallpapers of ef. celebrities etc. that the s2u2 will randomly keep picking from?
2) i can't get any of my custom made wallpapers to work. I have a htc diamond for sprint and its VGA so 480 x 640. I made my picture that size and still wont work what happens is that i see the picture but the slide to unlock button disappears. Please help
I have attached the original pic i had and the one i made for my HTC Diamond. I put it in my pictures folder and renamed as wallpaper into gfx folder but both times slide to unlock disappears and cant unlock. Please help.

Share your BRN's

Here is a different look of the cube that was basically easy for me to do. I'm sharing, just incase anyone wants to try it out. All you have to do is copy all the BRN files into the \windows directory folders and soft reset.
Also, this cube is easy to see during daytime also, because of the colors.
Edited: Same colors for animation when the cube is spinning.
ko now im getting confused. All i want to do is change the Icons...
I have the icons saved as PNG's but i can change them to BRN's. What do i need to do. I will be using Touch settings to install and change the stuff.?

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?

Icons.

Simple question here, although i'm not so sure anyone will have all this. I'm basically looking for a collection of icons (more than just a few) so i can pick and choose which I like and which I wanna use on my wing. I am using HTC Home and I figured I was able to change the icons on my today screen by just replacing the ones currently in my phone. I know there's tons of roms and themes so what i'm wondering is if someone has icons from a bunch of different ones. Basically any icons in general would be good. For instance, the icons on the Shadow. iPhone icons. HTC Home icons. Glass icons. Stuff like that. I know there's a bunch out there.
Thanks in advance.
you can just put whatever you want into the HTC Home folder on your phone with the appropriate name. i'll try and upload the customizer again in my thread

{WITH PIX}Binary clock for S2U2 HELP!!!

hi i have an idea for a new clock for s2u2 but have no idea how to make it work
its a binary clock, its a bit tricky to view but geeks will apreciate it there is a pic below to show you how it works
Its easy to make it work.
Just name it cc.png or .bmp and place it in \Program Files\s2u2\GFX\ClockA.
Soft reset might be required,
And you might need to choose a diffrent clock in the s2u2 settings
yeah but its animated differently to a normal digital or analog clock although i might be able to do something
and its gonna be tricky anyway since for eleven u actually need 11 not two ones

For eleven you do need 2 ones in this case, because this looks like a "easy" bin. clock
I would be even nicer if you could make it like a horizontal clock
one that has three horizontal dotted lines, so 18:10:05 would look like:
_xooxo 18<hours>
ooxoxo 10<min>
oooxox 05<sec>
It's harder to read because you have to count to 59 instead of 9
if you need a picture, I got one on my desk
cool ive nver thought of that before. ideally it could work either way. that pic would be cool
has anyone got any ideas on this
there are some more pictures below to help anyone interested
Here is a quick & dirty Binary Clock use as you wish.
Set these files in \Program Files\SU2U\Clock
I included the AM PM images as well. If you don't like the way it spaces it out just delete or rename them in the folder so they don't display...
Enjoy!
wow. cant wait ur 4eva in my debt
any why do i have to rename them other files

Not a problem see my above post and you'll see why when you look at the Screen caps, It doesn't look too centered sadly but unless there is away to remove the AM/PM it wont ever be centered prefectly ... Doesn't look to bad even with my really odd BG
Just disable the top curtain.

cheers sorted i was trying to edit it using the pc and it didnt like it. so i used total commander instead
i have renamed the binary pngs to correspond with manilla 2d but when i apply them they look like this:
Does anyone have enough know how with manilla to be able to tell me how to get it to show up as a "digital clock" should so it will be spaced properly?
I have uploaded the renamed picture below if you want to them
nevermind i got it
posted it in m2d skin thread
Here is the post

Custom Wallpaper

Were i can locate the default wallpapers on my HTC and if anyone know whats the default size of them
Maybe i will sit and make one of my own so i need those info
And ..what i need to make it a weather - wallpaper ? And what i need to make it animated?
Thanx in advance
MOD EDIT - Moved to General forum as not related to rom development
no one can help me?
You're free to decide in which direcotory to put your own wallpapers, no need to put them in the default directory. I for myself have put several wallpapers in a directory on the storage card. Later, as you change your wallpaper, just go to the TouchFlo tab called "wallpaper" or "background picture" (I'm not sure since I use another language version) and navigate to this directory, then select your own wallpaper.
They can be of different sizes. Since this is not a full answer to your question, I added a container with some nice wallpapers which I found in another forum. The last one ("fantasy") is special, it has an additional frame.
Thanx for reply !
i need to know the dimensions cause i like to make my own theme (Starcraft 2 )
Anyway you know how to make it animated ... or like those new "Weather Wallpaper" ?
i have an HTC HD with Maryone Rom... 6.5

I only can tell you the dimensions of the one I use myself ("fantasy", it's included in the *.zip file I uploaded). Its dimensions are 533 x 800 pixels.
Sorry, no idea how to animate a picture, my knowledge in graphics is down to almost zero. However, searching with "how to animate a jpg" brought instant access to several solutions (software packages). Some are to be found here: http://bit.ly/cblIdu. Good luck, though!
ok mate
thanx a lot
