Hi
Are there any options to show more appointments on the lockscreen than ONE?
One event is a little bit less for a good overview.
Thanks for help.
Hi!
I don't know much about WM 6.5 default lock screen. But I use S2U2 and you can configure it to show several (I guess it's up to 7) appointments in its lock screen.
i mean the HTC Sence Lockscreen:

They know what you mean, which is why they suggested slide2unlock. It's a replacement for the WINDOWS lock screen (not HTC), that does what you ask.
Just to check whether anyone tested the Slide2Unlock application on WM.5 or HD2?
I try to do a search in this forum but it seems that only the old version is available and nobody is developing that application anymore.

Err, not true. The thread you want is in the Development & Hacking Forum. To download you need to access AC's website (the author) which is one of the download links within the relevant thread.

My friend told me that he saw some of the HTC Device using the WM6.5 have a better unlock screen than the HD2 or Leo which will show the Number of SMS and Missed Calls details on the lock screen instead of the numbering on the lock button.
Managed to find this program to replace the stock lock and unlock screen, you can display number of SMS, MMS, Emails or Missed Calls instead of the number beside the Lock Icon.

well, s2u2 is nice for XDA Herald, but not for the HD2.
The standard-lockscreen on the HD2 is much pretty nicer than the s2u2 for me.
are there no reg-hacks on xda-developers???
I totally agree with cms. The windows mobile lockscreen is excellent but it only shows one damn appointment! Surely this has got to be possible?

Yeah, I too like the standard lock screen, would be nice if it showed more appointments though.
Not keen on installing S2U2.
Would be amazing if someone modded the lock screen.
I installed S2U2 on my HD2 and agreed on most of the comments. The standard lock screen looks better but is too basic. The S2U2 has all the info I needed but I cannot get rid of the standard windows one so I ended up having 2 unlock screen now which is annoying. Does anyone know how to disable the standard one?

BSB Tweaks does that.
Or Settings>Security>block phone> untick block screen.
But in my opinion s2u2 is better, it shows the sms, mms, email, and tasks that original htc dont
regards
Just as a matter of interest, do you guys who say you don't like S2U2 know you can customise it by putting in your own wallpapers and/or gifs? You can even have the wallpaper change at regular intervals, giving you a fresh look whenever you wish.
So what you can do, if you wish, is to have a wallpaper that closely resembles the standard lock's wallpaper but sat in S2U2. You then get a better lock application with the look you are after.
WB
PS: If you knew all this but still like the standard item then ignore me.
I like the standard lock screen and would very much like more than 1 appt to be shown. I have tried S2u2 but i find it a bit bloated now, it is very capable and works but i just find it too big/bloated.
Is there a way we could tweak the MS lock screen?

Thanks. Interestingly I cannot find the block phone function under Security so I disable it through S2U2.
As it happens I was also fiddling with the latest version of S2U2 yesterday evening. Hadn't used it since I had my TP.
I'm running XannyTech's latest rom and when I use S2U2 as a replacement for the win6.5 lock, my Manila sliding tabs on the bottom slide behind the bottom bar where the softkeys are displayed on.
Anybody seen this before? I seem to remember that there was a little program to correct that but can't find it back.
Tried fiddling with S2U2' settings but disabling bottom and top bar did not help either.
if anybody knows how to correct that, would be great to hear.
ps: when uninstalling S2U2 and soft reset puts the manila sliding tabs back where they should be...

S2U2 is definitely the way to go if you want to configure the lockscreen to add more calendar entries. But I never got the hang of using the alert bubbles sitting in the bottom right corner of the screen as they were too hard to press with my thumb, one-handed.
I posted in the S2U2 thread about this but the suggestion there was to go back to the original WM lockscreen. Which I did.
I too prefer the standard Lock screen except would love it to show more Calendar items and perhaps Birthdays. The configure page is really limited but better this than someting too bloated for a lock screen.

I was suprised to see the latest version of DBH's Slide2Unlock available for download the other day. Beyond that, I was pleasantly surprised by the functionality of this program. I've been using A_C's S2U2 and needless to say, tremendously happy with his latest version. Is it just me and my Mogul or does Slide2Unlock Professional require far less program memory or RAM? The point of this thread is to collect the positives and negatives of using one of these programs versus the other. Try to keep replies limited to the most recent releases of both programs. Thanks.
I didnt compare memmory consumption but what i found different was that S2U when awakened after a long period it seems that the clock was frozen and just wakes up too (eg its 1pm now, when i turn my device on i can see the clock jump from 12pm till 1pm, anyone else has this?!) DBH's Slide2Unlock does not do this.
- I also liked he fact that DBH's Slide2Unlock has continuous gif animation and not the 10sec power saving as S2U
- however S2U u can see everything on one page: despite beeing a VERY cool option, u dont have to slide to see ur missed calls, #of messages and voice messages... I prefer S2U: just looking at the screen and figure out how many calls, messages, who was the last call, the time and date... everything by just one glance.
AC is the man.The way i look at the 10 sec issue is that the program is used for the purpose of locking the screen,so youre likely to unlock your screen at least ten seconds after switching on your phone,moving pictures are a bonus.Secondly,DPAD unlocking can prove priceless at times,sort of a failsafe in case life happens. The DBH had better graphics(emphasis on 'had') but the slider was bothersome,sometimes choppy/slow. I think anybody moaning about 1MB of memory usage should manage their PDA better.
After s2u2 sits fir a while the gif file will not animate until you press the slide key. This is the one reason why I am using pro over this. Has anyone found a fix for it?
What Fix
There is no Fix, there is nothing wrong with the application. A_C has hard-coded it into the applcation, may-be in next version he will add option to leave the gif running, when on land line would stay on.
What I like about Pro is you can change your animated .gif file easily when you get sick of it. In fact I made a folder on my storage card loaded with animated .gif files. You don't have to rename them to wallpaper or wallpaperL.
Also I just love how you slide away the time to reveal the other information. Its a really cool feature.
I must commend A C for his excellent program also. I was using it until this new version of Pro came out.

I wasnt talking about it stopping to play after a certain amount of time. I am fine with that. I was talking about your screen being off and you go to turn it on. The animation should automatically start up when you turn the power on but it does not. The animation does not start until you hit the slide. Kind of makes having a gif file pointless.
Which uses more memory?
Is memory usage between the two of these programs about the same?
s2u
DBH's Slide2Unlock use more memory than AC_s2u2 and create a file at 4mb
but DBH's Slide2Unlock is smouther
and i like AC_s2u2 with other option like DBH's Slide2Unlock
On My HTC Touch it says Unknown Caller instead of the persons name in my caller id. that is the only thing that bothers me about DBH's.
Well I've used both, they do have their pros and cons. did find DBH Slide2Unlock Pro more stable on my device then A_C's S2U2 however, I've reverted to S2U2 as I prefer the analogue clock feature and the slide action is a lot smoother as apposed to lightning quick slide action of DBH Slide2Unlock Pro (I find it to be too quick for my liking).
I think the perfect Slide2Unlock app would be a combination of these two, I guess "I want to have the cake and eat it too" I'm just greedy!! LOL

I agree, a combination of these two would be perfect. I'm currently using the .86 version of S2U2 due to some bugs/features that I dislike in the new version (the TALK and END buttons function when locked, the black screen that appears when you get a SMS). What I like about S2U Pro though is the Slide to Reject and also the fact that when a new SMS comes in, the notification just appears on top of the S2U wallpaper, not masking it with a black screen. The slide feature for the clock is neat, yet I'd still perfer the little bubbles that appear on the bottom right of the screen like in earlier version and in A_C's. I think if both authors came together and made one program it would be perfect.
Well....A_C just released a new version today that makes the constant running GIF debate a moot point, he has allowed users to enable a constantly running GIF.
Maybe if some of the things I am not familiar with here (slide clock, slide to reject...) were mentioned over in his thread, he would work on it for you, he is always open to ideas, and will tell you if he can't, or if he will at least think about/try it!!

Oh...I wouldn't think that would happen, I just know if people like a lot of one app, they would stick with it, and make a suggestion of a change. I only mentioned A_C because I have followed him for a while, I am sure the other developer is just as open to suggestions. I think there would always be differences, but like anything else in life, I pick the item that has more pro's than con's as far as my expected functionability.

I've been enjoying the s2u2 v 098 for several days now, and I love the screen lock mechanism. However, I believe I am right in saying that neither DBH nor S2u2 has any security built in...ie entry password. Now I know that we could get our phones to activate the password protection...but how cool would it be to have a guitar fret-like slider that enunciates via numerals or NOTES(c,C#,b,G) or BOTH, our passwords AS we use the slider to unlock the screen,thus killing TWO birds with one...er...TUNE!
Rough draft of the slider:
0123456789 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---Enter
Pswd 24L0
net result:
Play your little Password tune on the slider and UNLOCK the phone at the same time...does any get what I'm saying, or am I being too obtuse?

I like the idea! But it's definitely another kind of app. A do-re-mi would also work since it requires less space (just 8 notes would do).
Hi folks,
searched around this forum (and others) unsuccessfully for hours now, maybe someone knows what i'm looking for.
I don't like the procedure of confirming appointments or tasks provided by WM6 in combination with tf3d.
If you can't confirm the alarm instantly it disappears after a while and the softkey is overruled by tf3d.
As you all know you have to press the top bar and after that the bell in the upcoming screen to bring the reminder in front and if you want to be reminded later you need two more fingertips.
What i am looking for (or what i'm dreaming about) is a fingerfriendly dialog (maybe in a transparent curtain style corresponding to tf3d or so) popping up and staying in front of the screen until it is confirmed, containig the information about the task or appointment, maybe the current time, buttons for confirmation or repeating after a while.
By the way a big thank you to all the developers and contributors, this forum is No.1 and helped me a lot for years now.
Thanks in advance
Me too!
Yeah, I'll second that! Bloody annoying when the pop-up disappears before you get a chance to interact with it. If anyone has a solution to this, I'm all ears
Pop up stays put when using S2U2

Thanks my friend... been using another screen lock app, S2U2 is alot better I have to say - and FREE!
Hmmm....., S2U2,
i followed the developing from on the beginning and used it on my old prophet (at this point a lot of thanks to A_C for this excellent piece of work) but found that the handling of appointments when popping up wasn't as good as the rest of the app.
The appointment comes up (as the native windows dialog, which is, let me say, not very beautyful, also the top bar comes up, cutting of the S2U2 clock) and stays on the S2U2 screen but if you don't recognize it and the device goes into stand-by and you switch it on later the pop-up is gone (at least on the prophet), which is no problem on a classic today screen, but on a tf3d screen the softeys are overruled and you have the "problem" described in my first post.
And as a locking solution you have some other opportunities today, SlideToAnswer and TouchlockPro are fitting my needs better on the diamond.
Also in times of eyecandy i think this dialog is a missing link in the chain of beautyness.
So i'm still in hope that someone has a recommendation, but maybe it's not a problem for the most.
To be honest, I tried the touch flo 3d, the home 2, but the only thing I like is the normal, clean windows mobile today screen i like it, its neat , organized, and the xperia wallpaper gives it an elegant look. I alos modified the left menu key to initiate a new sms
what do u think?
I like it's neat clean look, but I prefer using the SE Today Panel.

Same here, a big fan of Winmo Today screen. When I jumped ship from Palm OS to Winmo, the Today screen really makes me forget I ever had a Palm OS device... Although the fond memories of rock hard stability creeps out now and then.
Currently Using itje's incredible Touch-IT v4.5 ROM. The Touchflo is nice, but more of a gimmick then anything else... Give me plain old Today screen anytime.
It just seems easier on the Today screen, that's why I have a lite rom installed, along with TF3d and panels.
I tend to always end up back at the default today screen. Something just nice about it.
Yeah I use it all the time now as it seems to be the most customisable without being fiddley and does all I want it too... I would like a today that is a combination of several of the panels but so far have found nothing that I like more than the normal today...
i use the today screen as my default screen when at work as i like to be in control of how many appointments are displayed, reminders, etc. it's nice to be able to switch to another panel for the weekends though ...
i'm a bit concerned about some of the screenshots for wm 6.5. does the today screen still exist ?
The standard Today just works. Give you access to what a PDA is for, PIM. There is a plugin called TodayAgenda which makes it perfect though.
glad you guys think the same way
btw, any idea how to make a shortcut for the start button? I downloaded a program, H button, that enables me to long press a key and a program comes up... but i want to access the start menu that way

Are you trying to assign a hardware key to Start Menu? If so, go to Start>Settings>Buttons
All this talk is making me want to use the Today panel more! I just tweaked it a little bit and I'm going to give it a try next week.
Does anybody know of a way to get more programs on it? Skype is on the list, and I think TomTom is, but I'd like a couple others.
I need to use the today screen to see the G-Alarm plugin, how much Internet traffic I had this month (SPB Wireless). Also I find it very convenient to use Elecont Dialer (a scrollable row of contacts to call or sms) and Elecont Launcher (a scrollable row of apps).
So I usually end up using it, even if SPB Shell is more touch-friendly. It just doesn't display all the information I need in one screen.
I always seem to go back to the spb panel as my default. its simple and looks clean i think compared with tf3d and point ui. im hopeing that when the new 3.0 shell comes out that it wont replace the spb x1 panel (although i know it will).
I've tried all the panels, shells etc. You name them, I've tried them. As said before, the Touch-IT v4.5 ROM is nice, but gimmicky. I admit I've installed it, but only to get GPS tagging of photos. I untick it in Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items immediately after it's installed.
I appreciate all the work that's gone into developing it, but its way too busy for me
My preferred interface is iFonz 2. The interface can be as simple or as 'busy' as you like. I prefer to have just a few icons of the programs I use regularly on screen as well as icons for the frequently called contacts. Also its very finger friendly.
For the programs that I use infrequently, it's no hassle to find them in Start -> Programs, and contacts are easy to find in iContacts

Hey friends, I'm with you. I think the today screen is one of the best inventions of Microsoft and is really underrated. It just makes sense to have active plugins share the most precious place on a mobile - the information screen after switching the device on. I think the iPhone is ridiculous in this regardö - just showing icons of the programs that can be launched is lame. Also, there are really powerful plugins available for Windows Mobile. I'm personally using the built in date/time and messages plugin together with PocketBreeze for all the organizer stuff and PocketPlus for system status (battery, memory), finger friendly app launcher and additional plugins as tab (spb weather actuall). Then I use the system tray as quicklaunch and for showing the currently selected phone profile from PhoneWeaver and my softkeys start Contacts and WM5NewMenu, with which I can very quickly place a new appointment, SMS, Email, Note and so on. With this setup, I can really use the device, not only play. Everything is just one or two clicks/actions away and I always have a good overview of what's going on.
I really don't understand why so many people want a better iPhone instead of a good Windows Mobile device. Windows Mobile has drawbacks but also strong points, of which the today screen is one of the strongest I think.
I am also a big fan of the Windows today page. I think it's the only one that can be entirely adapted to everyone's need, all other software are nice graphically, but not as effective as a well prepared today page.
Would someone lucky enough to actually own a HD2 already

try out the http://s2u2.ac-s2.com/ SLIDE 2 UnLock v2 version (free)
This app will give you full screen photos when someone is calling you,
has a very nice homescreen with SMS, Email,Weather and all.
On the 6.5.1.ROM's on the HD it doesn't work well anymore.
Please test this on HD2.

S2U2 works fine on my HD2 (though I don't use the CallerID function).
The only problem is that all hardware keys (except volume) wake up the phone. And worst, a long press on on-off key start the power-off panel (quite troublesome given that you can shutdown the phone accidentaly in your pocket).
Someone has a solution ?

I think it's ridiculously unlikely that that will ever happen! Do you keep random button pressing machines in your pockets?
I've had mine for 2 weeks now, and it's not even been out of standby mode when I've taken it out of my pocket, ever.

I've had the problem of power-off panel yesterday, that's why I ask this question.
And the problem for the other hardware key is that it is battery draining to have the screen on (and I don't wear baggies, thus it happen quite regurlarly)
Already installed on my HD2 very nice, anyone know how to disable the slider lock of origin HD2?
Look at the sticky "Leo hints and tips" item 27 Disable Auto Screen Lock
You can disable the original slider with the cab in this thread:

You are right. S2U2 lacks a quick resleep function (which is present in TouchLockPro). When TouchLockPro has fixed the G-sensor detection, I think it is way better than S2U2 in terms of locking (except that it doesn't have the sexy interface). I don't really care what it shows on the screen when it is locked.
No, with S2U2 active, I can't long press the end key to turn off the phone without first slide-unlocking.
Fortunately, the panel is still locked after HD2 is waked up by a hard key. At least it won't be sending mails or dialing phones in your pocket.

Thats not true. With the newest version that doesn't happen. I tried to replicate the behavior and nothing...

The pictures aren't actually on the phone though, they are just retrieved from facebook. Is there any way you can get S2V to utilise them?

Bit of help please:
Do I have to uninstall S2U2 Version 1.62 before I install Ver 2.24 please?
Or can I just install ver 2.24 over 1.62?
Thanks
Hello,
I see in Settings -> Personalize - two settings for Wallpapers: Lock-Screen Wallpaper and Home Tab Wallpaper.
Is there a tweak to merge these two functions ?
I'm looking for a solution without turning off HTC Sense.
Thanks in advance

I think you don't have an answer because it's not a big deal.
So what, there are 2 different wallpaper settings. A lot of people prefer it that way. Why do you only want 1? (Incidentally, 63 <> 256)
why cant you just set the same wallpaper for the 2 screens, problem solved! why do you have to turn sense off by the way?

I want use programs that will change my wallpapers automatically every hour taking each time new wallpaper from my folder.
I tested every existing "wallpaper changer" for windows mobile. None of them is able to change HTC HD2 "Lock-Screen" Wallpaper!
And this is because of that stupid HTC Sense, which is trouble for many programs that work just perfect on other Windows Mobile operated devices.

There's nothing stupid about the Sense UI having its own wallpaper. I don't have any other applications that assume the same wallpaper as windows. Do you? The lock screen is part of the Windows UI, not the Sense UI. Hence, different wallpaper. Not stupid - normal.
Also, "trouble for many programs that work just perfect on other Windows Mobile operated devices" just sounds like you're *****ing. You need to be more constructive in your critiscism, but expressing details in your issues, and how you would like them to be resolved.
Look for an app to change the Today wallpaper. I'd be really suprised if there isn't one. This will change the lock screen wallpaper. You'll need to use both apps, unless someone is interested in making something specifically for you.

No. You're wrong. As I researched this problem with one developer of "Wallpaper Changer" - HTC HD2 has it's own title of "Lock-Screen wallpaper". On all WM devices Lock-Screen / "Start-Menu" wallpapers has title like "stwater*.gif". On HTC HD2 this file has title "HTC_stwater*.gif" with that "HTC" prefix. It is that HTC Developers were too excited customizing WM 6.5 on this device, because on other WM 6.5 phones "Wallpaper Changer" program works fine. And there are many such customized things which made HTC programmes. Now this powerful phone gets useless as many programs doesn't work properly on it.

I suppose you didn't check before suggesting it... So, you can prepare to be surprised, because that program which I tested - changes Today wallpaper too, but it doesn't change HTC HD2 Lock-Screen wallpaper.

Well I guess that when I change the today wallpaper on my phone and it also changes the lock screen, it must be doing something completely different to your phone.
I suggest that you actually try that before berating people who are actually correct.

1) Do you have HTC HD2 phone ?
2) Did you use external software to change Lock-Screen wallpaper?
If "no" for any question then you're not correct.

I am trying to help you - stop being an idiot.
Do you know how to change the today wallpaper without using a piece of software? If so, do it. You will see that it is also the same as the wallpaper in the start menu, and, if you bother to try it and then check, turn off sense and you will see it is the same as the today wallpaper.
Stop being so offensive and grow up. This is a forum, not a playground.
Actually, I've just reread the whole of this thread, and I can see what the problem is.
You're a newb.
Here's some facts for you. These are not debatable - they are facts.
There is a wallpaper setting for the HTC Sense Home tab.
There is a wallpaper setting for Windows (including Today, Titanium, and the lock screen.)
There is no such thing as the "HTC Lock-Screen Wallpaper" - that actually point to the one just mentioned in point 2.
I tend to be as helpful as possible on this forum. I've been here for over 18 months and I've helped a lot of people with problems on their phones from big issues, to tiny insignificant things (my very 1st post was one that was an answer to someone's question!) I'm on my 3rd Windows mobile phone, and yes, it happens to be a HD2. I've had it for 7 weeks now, so I'm quite familiar with the extra features that weren't on the TouchFlo interface of the Touch HD, or the Touch Diamond.
Despite what you think, I do know what I'm talking about. You're just not listening.
So, with that in mind, will you please stop being so aggressive and explain why you don't understand something I've said. I am happy to help, but I'm not a saint, so stop being offensive and we can be friends

I know how to change every wallpaper type ( Home tab, Lock-Screen & Start Menu ) using standard settings. I know that turning off Sense and changing today affects on all three wallpapers and it's one file. If you were a bit more attentive you'd saw that I'm looking for a way to change "Lock-Screen" wallpaper (with turned on Sense) using external program. And I also mentioned that all such programs are able to change only Home tab wallpaper, even if Sense is turned off.
If you are trying to help, please, read my answers carefully before using offensive words...
Good luck newb. I'm out.

See on attached Screenshot.
Is it something new to you ?
Guess there is something what you can learn from "newb".
Stop being aggressive and listen, if you want help!
Okay... johncmolyneux is right. There's only two kinds of wallpaper: One for Sense, and one for the lockscreen and start menu.
The one for Sense is called "Home tab wallpaper".
The one for the Lockscreen and start menu is called "Lock screen wallpaper".
If Sense is turned off, the the Today Screen wallpaper is the same as the lock screen and start menu wallpaper.
The Today Screen, lock screen and start menu wallpaper is the file "stwater_480_800.png" in your Windows directory.
OKAY, that's for the explanation. NOW.... WHAT programs have you tried? I will have a look at what they actually do, so that I can find out what's wrong.
However, it is clear that the programs can only change either the Sense wallpaper or the lock screen wallpaper, because they are different files. Afaik there is no program that changes both at a time.

The programs you used change this file. That means those programs change the wallpaper for the lock screen AND the start menu AT ONCE, because it's the same file.
However, the change only takes effect after a soft reset. That's why your programs don't work and it also means that what you want is not possible.

When I tried to change Lock-Screen wallpaper (which is same as Start Menu wallpaper), it was set to default file: \Windows\ HTC_stwater_480x800.gif. It looks like a blue gradient default wallpaper. And unfortunately it stayed after soft-reset I asked other HD2 users and they had the same result.
If I'm able to change Lock-Screen wallpaper from "Settings" without soft-reset, maybe there should be possibility to do the same with external program and without soft-reset? When I manually change Home-tab wallpaper - it changes immediately, when I change Lock-screen wallpaper from settings - I see Windows Mobile "Loading" for couple of seconds. As I understand it means WM unlocks current file from being used by appropriate process and changes wallpaper. Then, maybe there could be possibility to unlock file from external program? I'm not familiar close to WM, but I guess some things that are done on Windows XP could be done on WM (here I mean only that well coded program could trick WM features) ? For example, in WIN XP I use great program "Unlocker" to free files from being used by running process.
Strange...
Why is it that so many newbies who come on here for help turn argumentative and aggressive? Is it something in the air they breath or what?
I appreciate that for some English is not their first language so some things do get lost in translation; however how the hell they expect help if they are giving it lip is beyond me.
There are lots of people on here, including me, who don't mind helping newbs as we were newbs once. Even though they post the same question a thousand times without reading or searching first, which is SO frustrating, we still try to help.
I suspect this thread will die very quickly unless the OP starts getting a little more friendly......
Just lighten up a little.

Okay, I had a deeper look into it, and this is how it works:
The HTC_stwater_480_800 file is in ROM. It is not the lock screen/start menu wallpaper.
The stwater_480_800.png file is the wallpaper. When you change the lock screen wallpaper in the settings, it overwrites that file.
If you set it to default, it takes the HTC_stwater_480_800 from the ROM, renames it (i.e. removes the HTC_) and replaces the stwater_480_800 file.
NOW...
...if you do change the wallpaper from the settings, everything is fine, it changes immediately...
BUT...
...if you replace the stwater_480_800.png file by hand, you need to soft reset for the change to take effect!
I don't know why this is, but this may be the reason why those programs can't change the lock screen wallpaper immediately. There must be a possibility, as HTC Sense IS able to change it immediately, but obviously, only replacing the stwater_480_800.png is not enough.
But anyways, the "Home tab wallpaper" (which is only for Sense) is still completely independent from the "Lock screen wallpaper" (which is the stwater file for the lock screen and start menu). As far as I understood, you want a program that changes both at the same time? I think there is no such program at the moment.

Hehe, see that if I didn't post my second aggressive bumping reply, this thread would have been lost deep in the forum without any answer at all. Old threads usually are ignored.
I just feel that he wanted to show off with his knowledge, call me idiot, newb or whatever and didn't carefully read my answers or explained it in manner that it looked so. Maybe I also explained my question not correct and we misunderstood each other.
seed_al just explained it in one post, so it's really looks clear. Laconic and effective.
