i was setting up my internet shortcut icons for websites i visit daily. I made myself some jpg images to use as the icon pics. the size of them are 96x96. they were all showing and then when i came back to the home screen and returned to the internet tab only two are showing up and the rest have turned into white images. Can anyone help me out as to why this is happening. is there a special format they have to be.... i have included a pic of whats going on.
can someone help or direct me into the right direction

Hey guys I downloaded a theme to my phone but i do not like the portrait picture. How do i just change that picture to something else? Thanks!
SEARCH/READ THE USER'S MANUAL!!!! But, if you hold your stylus down on the picture you want as a background, you'll see the little circle things, then a list of options, like right clicking on a mouse, select set as desktop background. Then select how washed out you want it, and select ok. There, that was your freebie. Use Wiki and search the forum from now on.
no i want to change just the portrait picture. only when i slide my slider. i know how to do that. i remember seeing a deal about that now i cant find it.
I'm pretty sure there's no way to change JUST the portait picture. You mean like having 2 seperate desktop pitures with one to display in landscape, and the other in portrait, right?
Yeah. But I found a way of doing. Just a little more work than I intended. Thanks!
HEY! this is give and take here... So spill the beans, how did you do it?
Yeah! this I gotta know about. You may have found a secret no one knows. The other question is: how can you re-size a pic so that when it is used as a desktop background, it only uses a portion of the screen and doesn't obscure say the whole "black theme" in use?
I'll let you guys know as soon as i get it done. Haven't even tried yet. Been playing around with different ROMs to see which I like better. So far I'm diggin the Touch-It Light.

if you want to change picure ionly in portrait mode, bud not landscape, you must force edit the Theme you want.... or, ... maybe if it is multiple images theme, just replace one of them, but most are 1 file, .... in that case you have no chance without any program..
Google search for ThemeGenCE. It works like a charm and allows one to change the portrait (slide closed) and landscape (slide open) to different pics. it will also change almost all of the colors. I'll try to post a screen shot of the Halo3 theme I built with it. I've built about 12 different .tsk files with it so far and all of them turned out pretty well. It will also let you import an existing theme and modify it. I used the black touch skin and applied my own pics.
It automatically resizes pics to fit the screen...
Yeah. That's what I was gonna play with but never had the chance. I forgot what the prog was that's why I never bothered. Thanks!!
the gloss from WM6 doesn't show up when you make a theme using ThemeGenCE?
The gloss???
wow thats nice....this will work with the wing correct???
Yes... I'm currently running it on a wing. I'm having some issues getting the color fades on the start bar to work. It has to do with the WM5 tab but the descriptions are a bit cryptic as to what fields they actually represent. So I built one with a LOT of really out there colors to see what field effects what part of the screen. If you don't use the stuff on the WM5 tab then it will just be solid colors. The Halo3 one wound up just being green instead of the orange/green fade at the top. That screenshot is from the previewer in the program not what actually wound up on the phone.

Probably a stupid question but what were the size image options you put in? In the options it asks about the size of the screen & the size of the start menu
Hi,
Top Bar is the essential on today screen cuz it show many notifications, time etc. So what i was thinking is that somebody make a program to transparent the whole top Bar or atleast it can change with the full screen wallpaper. It means the whole today can go with the wallpaper.
Hoping to see programmer put a hand in making it.
Thanks
And also a program for resizing the top bar would be cool.
nobody wants to even try...
i gaurantee this will be the most useful plugin for ppc user...
somebody should try to make it, cuz im not a prgrammer
Come on you programming gurus..
you had a full 5 hours to do this and no one has done it...
Were you guys sleeping or something?
I currently use VJTOGGLETODAY. Not sure where I got it from but if you do some diggin' I am sure you can find it. you can also look into wisbar adv. as it lets you configure your start button.
SoBBie
this is already possible - transparent bars are part of the theme.
search for home screen designer and have a play
VJ toggle today cannot do that thing and home screen designer is for smart phone only.
I know it is not exactly what your looking for, but here is what I did:
I use WA3, and in the theme I use, I took the top bar image and exchanged it with am image I made by taking my current wallpaper image, and copying the top part (same height as the top bar image in the theme), and named it the same name the top bar image had in the theme I use.
(Sorry if it got too wordy)
Although it isn't truly 'invisible' it does have the effect I wanted. I will try to post a screenshot later when I get home.
anybody willing to make a program on this...
I was wondering if someone is willing to help with this?! ( I don't know if there's a similar software)
I edited the config file of throttle launcher and basically deleted everything and only kept the lower slider setup. I put links to my own softwares and also links to the icons I wanted ==> what I got is a COOL software launcher that I can use as a today pluggin!
See pic I attached (I drew in the red/yellow box => that's the icon that shows up when sliding on the lower menu, but for some reason i can't capture it when taking a screen shot)
What I'm having problem with is:
- having it show up in ultimatelaunch
- the height must be at least around 150pixels for the icon that pops up above the menu to show (150 pixels is a lot of space)
- can I get the background transparent?
I hope that APBilbo don't mind this...
this actually is a good idea...
about the transparency: have u tried editing the png images and make them transparent, using a prog like GIMP? or maybe it doesn't work that way.

Why I will mind ?
In fact throttlelauncher started just beeing a program launcher app with photocontacts posibility.
Ok, lets go with your problems.
- About the transparency, you have to set transparency = true param on the skin.xml file your row or setup is using.
- To make it work inside UL, seems like UL doesn't act exactly like the today screen while embeding today plugins. After starting UL with Throttle embeded you have to manualy start the app "ThrottleTodayPlugin.exe" located on the throttlelauncher folder instalation. It should work .
If you're also interested, there's a only photo dialer setup at my forum to achieve the same that you have with programs with photocontacts . In fact, you can mix them having programs first on the ribbon and after some of your contacts .

Also if you don't want the icon preview showing, you can try using the scrollingmodes "Paged" or "Kinetic".
Hope this helps...
I have a custom home screen panel created w/ the Titanium Configurator w/ 4 panels that I want to show sports scores on.
I know how to get the data from espn from MPIIIMan's post here and I already have it parsed the way I want it.
Is there a way to either display text or html in a way to make it scroll across the panel page. I know you can point the url at a file or page but I'd like it to be right there. I have searched the forum but I guess I haven't been using the right terms.
I just need some how-to's and/or instructions on how to create a fully custom panel.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
With all the talent that frequents this site I know someone can point me in the right direction.
Anyone????????
I cant post an image of my current homescreen because I can't post links yet.
I am creating a "hub" theme for my Iconia. I have screenshots of each page of the hub (home, web, news, mdeia, games) that I have turned in to picture frame widgets. Underneath each frame I used Minimalistic Text to create a link to each page using the method of stretching the MT over the corresponding launcher action (using ADW Ex).
What I want to know is is there a way to be able to link each picture frame to their corresponding page?? I would like to be able to press on either the screenshot preview OR the text to go to the hub page.
I have messed around with DVR and while I can create the actual icon, I can only link it to an app and not to the launcher action of "go to page ______".
If anyone knows a work around or programs that could facilitate this I would appreciate the insight.
ALSO!! I am looking for the Asus Mail Widget apk to complete my home hub. I am running Taboonay 2.1 right now and I don't wont to flash a different ROM to get it....ideas??
Thanks!!

Looks like you're using adw ex, so you can create the shortcut to the page you want and once its created, long press on the shortcut, select edit, and than press on the icon. This will allow you to select any picture you have on your device and use that picture instead of the default icon.
You may have to take some extra steps to get it setup how you want but this should get you in the right direction, I think you can figure out the rest . Oh and as a tip, I use the app "Simple Text" to create my icons. I just save the icon as a picture and than select it in adw. Not sure if the app your talking about lets you save the icon as a picture since I haven't used it. And I got a whole bunch of different text from a post (not sure if on here or not) that had a zip file download with 300+ different fonts.
For the mail widget, you can just pull the apk(s) out of a rom that has it and flash it to your tab. Or the taboonay kitchen may have it.
Thanks for your reply. I have used the method you are talking about the only problem is when I make the icons that way the end up being too small. And you cant stretch the icon.
I do use Simple Text for my icon replacements that you see. I have an invisible launcher action underneath each hub icon that takes me to the corresponding page. Was just hoping to do'the same with the smaller thumbnail previews....the invisible launcher icon method doesnt work for them!
