enjoy!
oh yea, ppl it'd be nice if everybady can post ready to go themes here.
so it'd be a sorta skins dl page =)
edit
its now possible to have a new bmp per page. see my post on pg2 for the example file.
heres a lil illustration 2 give u an idea..
nice collection
can you teach us how to apply them out?
thank???????????????????
sure.
unzip the files
and replace the ones in your spb mobile shell folder
Heres one I made quickly, at the moment the full colour screen only appears on MS Professional now screen! I'm still trying to figure out how to get it displayed on all screens!!!
Again credit to asefsef!
i was only jk gfreak lol, its a dirty trick.
btw, full screen pic is confirmed to work on other screens, just copy the separator line into their corresponding xml's and point to that same separator bmp for same walls on the screens.
or, point to a diff set of bmp's for different walls per page

I hate to sound incredibly dense, but what attribute did you set to make the separator point to a different bitmap? Or are you talking about using one of the other separators, and substituting a full screen bitmap for them?
As far as I can tell from the XML, specifying <Point Name="Separator3Y" X="0" Y="0"/> implies that the image will be coming from a specific bitmap.

I've got colour background on all screens buy editing xml's time,lockscreen,waether,launcher and spb menu by having this class definition:
<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.GradBackground" Name="Background">
<Int Name="NoBackgrd" Value="0"/>
<Point Name="Separator3Y" X="0" Y="0"/>
However, except one screen the "Classic Now Screen" don't understand why? I'm sure I'm missing something in lockscreen xml???

Right, I also have one image working on all of my screens as well (as far as what you might be missing, I'm not sure, but I do know that whatever is missing will be in lockscreen.xml, most likely in the Detailed layout section).
What my question is, is how asefsef was able to get a different image on each screen.

ok! here's what i've got in lockscreen xml;
<Layout Name="Detailed">
<Plugins>
<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.GradBackground" Name="Background">
<Int Name="NoBackgrd" Value="1"/>
<Point Name="Separator3Y" X="0" Y="0"/>
the above class definition works for "Professional Screen Now" however if I do the same for Classic screen under the following class definition:
<Layout Name="Simple">
<Plugins>
<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.GradBackground" Name="Background"/>
<Int Name="NoBackgrd" Value="1"/>
<Point Name="Separator3Y" X="0" Y="0"/>
not sure whats missing??
and yes I'd also would like to know how asefsef can get different bmp's for screen!
a quick question

answer to you first question starts from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374335&page=14 you need to go into registry and creat one! I know it's tedious but somewhare in that thread there's even cab fix to get all nine icons working.
As for your second question sorry I don't use the the 4 + 1 tab just the 3 + 1 hence there is no iicon but again if you look in the above thread I've mentioned you will find the htc style 4 + 1 tab!
forgive me for being a noob at spb ... how can i make it 3+1? searched the settings for spb mobile shell
>>> now screen
>>>today
>>> animation
>>> tabs
>>> advanced
>>> theme
>>> weather
still there are no options there for 3+1 or 4+1
am @ lost here
or am I the only one that doesn't understand the term? regarding xml how can i edit it? sorry again i am new with spb shell thanks

hey, i changed the classic now screen by editing the files "separator.bmp and separator_m.bmp" instead of separator2
e.g.
<Layout Name="Simple">
<Plugins>
<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.GradBackground" Name="Background"/>
<Int Name="NoBackgrd" Value="1"/>
<Point Name="Separator2Y" X="0" Y="0"/>
or was it..
<Layout Name="Simple">
<Plugins>
<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.GradBackground" Name="Background"/>
<Int Name="NoBackgrd" Value="1"/>
<Point Name="Separator1Y" X="0" Y="0"/>
each screen has its own links to a separator right, so for different screens, you make new separators (dupe originals, then rename them to something else, so you have extras, now instead of specifying e.g. separator2.bmp, you specify "separator_hey hey new bmp!.bmp")
i'll post up diff bmp ones soon
heres ya go, 3 diff wallpapers
achieved by vertical shift of separator2 (aka 3y)
one of them is the analog layout

Great work.
I edited other xml files with your code. Now I have background image on all screens.
how do you change the background image from within the java code (i.e. not within the layout.xml)

Change background image of what? Wallpaper, button...?
The wallpaper
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
In your layout file, give your layout an id:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/myLayout"
.......
>
Then in the activity code:
RelativeLayout rl = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.myLayout);
rl.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.myNewBackground);
Or are you asking about the homescreen wallpaper for the device?

I think that's what he meant.
Code:
getApplicationContext.setWallpaper()
should do it... But check the documentation for proper syntax.
that only lets me use bitmaps. How do I set it by resource (e.g. "R.drawable.image4")?
Make it a bitmap then:
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(activity.getResources(), R.drawable.img);
activity.getApplicationContext().setWallpaper(bmp);
I have an activity that is a blank screen except for one ImageView object that has it's gravity set to center. Then in my res\anim directory, I animate that image, basically moving it from the bottom of the screen to the center (rising up), using <translate>. What I'm trying to figure out how to do is have the activity load with a blank screen, not showing the ImageView until after the animation finishes with the image centered. What happens right now is the screen shows with the image already in the center, then the animation takes over and moves it from bottom to top. How Can I make the animation happen first, before showing the ImageView?
//Default:
imageView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
onAnimationStart() {
imageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
The .setVisibilty works, but it's led me to another problem. In my xml layout file for this activity, I only have 2 objects, a TextView at the top of the screen (using LinearLayout) and then an ImageView that is set to.
<LinearLayout
androidrientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center">
<ImageView android:id="@+id/Image01"
android:src="@drawable/image_01"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:layout_width="200dp"
androidaddingTop="10px"
>
</ImageView>
</LinearLayout>
This puts the image dead center of the screen. What I want the animation to do is have the image rise from the bottom of the screen to the center. The problem is that even if I have the .setVisibility to INVISIBLE in the onCreate, then set to VISIBLE after I start the animation, it still flashes the image in the dead center of the screen (for about half a second), then immediately drops to the bottom and rises back up to center. This looks sloppy. How can I make the image never show until appears at bottom then rise to the center? I beg for specifics, as I'm just getting feet wet with java and xml.
Never mind, this only seems to happen in the emulator. It works fine on the phone.
I'm totally lost right now after trying so many different ways to create a custom progress bar. I'm shooting for something like Catch Notes', it's a perfect example.
Right now, my Action Bar is calling a generic progress bar layout and that works fine. I've attached a picture of what I'm looking for to help even more.
Code:
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.refresh: //Obviously, this is my refresh Action Bar icon.
item.setActionView(R.layout.progress);
return true;
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ProgressBar android:id="@+id/progress"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</ProgressBar>
</LinearLayout>
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ProgressBar.html
one second...
i just noticed you are already setting your own style
Code:
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleSmall"
can you post your progressBarStyleSmall.xml and other relevant drawables, layer-lists, shapes, and animations xml files?
i have been trying to make one of these for a while as well.

The style I'm referencing is the default Android ProgressBar style for a small progress bar. You just drag the small progress bar into your layout.
k well you should look into making your own style. i have styles on the brain so i thought it was a custom one.
