Hello,
I am looking for some help with the DPI of Folder Organizer. I have installed the new version of the market(3.1.3), and set my DPI to 160. The problem that I am having is that well all my destkop icons have changed to the 160 DPI, the icons inside Folder Organizer's folders didn't. It looks like they are reverting to 240 maybe. If I use another DPI like 180 or even the default 161 the icons are the same as all the others. I am wondering if anyone knows how to fix this or get around it. It just looks so bad when you open a folder. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, changing the build.prop to 160 and doing a fresh install, and clearing all the data for Folder Organizer. None of these worked.
I have attached a photo to show the difference between the icons on my home screen and inside the folders.
Thanks,
Rsotbiemrptson
I have the same issue at 160 DPI, all other settings Folder Organizer works fine. I have no solution, but I sent a bug report to the developer. I'll just hope he figures it out.
This has been fixed in the last update to the program.

No matter what .tsk file I use, when I use the option in the settings to display image as baccground. It's always grayed out which seriously makes the pic look crappy. I know I can just use a load of different .tsk files but I don't want to do it that way. I want to be able to change the baccgroud pic at anytime with having it smoked out with some gray transparent layer.
Is the a registry hacc I can do to stop it?
I don't know if there is a registry hack but at least, there is a workaround. Instead of using the today applet to select your background picture, you can use the Pictures & Videos app. Select the picture you like, there is a menu item to set a the selectted picture asToday background just set the transparency level at 0% and you are set
Thanks. Works perfectly.
Glad I helped, but actually you got me thinking. So, I tried to figure out if there was not a way of setting the transparency level via a registry hack as you suggested. I didn't find anything because it's not stored in registry.
What actually happens when you choose a background picture is that wm5 creates 2 pictures (stwater_240_320 and stwater_320_240) in the \windows folder. So instead of relying on the today applet or on the pictures and videos app, what you could do is delete these 2 pictures, then copy your homemade pictures in the \windows folder and rename theme to the above mentionned names. It should let us have a different image when in landscape mode instead of a cropped one. The 240_320 has to be 240x268 and the 320x240 340x188. Why 268 and 188 instead of 320 and 240 ? Because the taskbar and the menubar are 26 pixels wide and (2x26) + 268 = 340 !
Okay, I've used MaxTTm before and never had issues with it before, but for some reason, I'm getting a strange error. I'm trying to change the top taskbar to a solid or wallpapered background, and it gives the error (Error, an unexpected error has occurred in MaxTTM) could not find file \Windows\HomeBackground.img
So, I tried different versions of MaxTTM and got the same result. Other parts of the program function properly, it's just when I change the top taskbar image and bottom softbar. Could it be the rom I'm using (Josh's Perfect Black 1.7)??? Maybe I could just copy someone else's homebackground.img file into my windows directory and that would work? Any suggestions?
Try setting a wallpaper in the standard manila settings first. homebackground.img is just a renamed jpeg file that is made from whatever wallpaper you chose, so if it's missing it's probably because you haven't set one yet. This is a standard wallpaper, not HDWall or manila files, just a jpeg set in the settings>personalize tab. Can't guarantee that's the fix but it's worth a try...

millski, that worked perfectly. I've been using my own cab creator to make my own backgrounds, and I guess since I was using that, I didn't have a homebackground.img. I just set a new one, and now MaxTTM works perfectly. Thanks a million man. It's been driving me nuts all morning...
After many weeks using my HD2 without any issues, suddenly the fonts of all my start menu shortcuts and folders got very small. No system setting I try to apply seems to change them. I also tried several apps to control font size (ING Font Change, etc) and it changes the sizes of all the fonts on my systems BUT the ones in the start menu that stay small. Is there a way to fix this?... cab with stock fonts, reg mod, or how can the font size be repaired to its proper size again?
Screens attached. Thanks for the input!
Fonts
The only fonts I've changed were in settings/, personalize/, font size/, Sorry thats all I've changed. It changes in some windows apps.

Correct, that changes some fonts in ceratin windows apps, tool and title bars but not where I needed it. There needs to be somewhere else where the info of these fonts is stored and can be changed!
I've been wondering if there's a way to add custom icons for third party apps in MIUI ROM. I know you can change icons of applications by opening the .apk and replacing the icon file inside but MIUI adds its own background for third party apps' icons. So my question is, how can I prevent MIUI from doing that?
The default icons seem to be located in the farmework-res.apk inside "drawable-hdpi-finger" folder. I tried adding new icons there and naming them to "icon_handcent.png" or "icon_handcent_sms.png" etc. but this didn't work.
And just to be clear I don't want any widgets like Desktop Visualizer or BetterCut to make new shortcuts. All of those apps make the new shortcuts as widgets and therefore they can't be added in the dockbar or inside folders.
Thanks in advance

I recon that if you create an icon that is exactly the same size as MIUI makes its icons then you wont be able to see the background it puts behind it.
What happens if you make an app's icon a black square that fills the whole png? Does it obscure any MIUI backgrounds?
ive been trying to add icons to this folder too but not had any luck. Im guessing it is contained in an xml telling the launcher to use those icons in the framework.res instead of the ones inside the apk itself.
Ive looked through a load of xmls in launcher and in framework but cant seem to find it anywhere.
On a side note i have read over on droidforums that by changing the icon for the apk contained in data/system/customized_icons then this will display the new icon of your choosing. So instead of placing your icon in the drawable_hdpi_finger folder, place them in there.

data/system/customized_icons
look here guys ^^^^^^^^
you will find all the miui generated 3rd party icons will be in there. Try replacing those (may need to wipe cache to apply, not sure)
and fyi the way miui makes icons is the same as iphone now. It uses icon_mask to limit the drawable size of the original icon, then applyies it on icon_pattern on top of icon_background, and finally places icon_frame over top of it all. all those files are found in framewrok-res.apk inside the drawable-hdpi finger folder
im trying to change the main icons not the customized ones. is there a folder for that? like settings and gallery icons.

Yes, in framework-res.apk there is a folder called drawable-hdpi-finger. All system apps have their icon in there. If you place your new icons in there then they will then be changed on the main screen.
What i still havent worked out is how to add icons in there for other apps such as handcent or dialerone.
i think the default_workspace.xml would need the app and package adding to it but i laso think there would be another step somewhere, not tried it yet.
wheres the framwork-res.apk located?
Is there a way to completely avoid this resize?

Is that the reason why MIUI resize the 3rd party app inside data/system/custom icons??
Is there a way to completely avoid this resize?
I have overwritten the background, for example, and now I have no unwanted background.
I can decide for the border, remove it the same.
But overwrite the icon_mask seems do not change the MIUI resizeing.
What have I to do?
Thank you in advance, to everybody who would help

I got this folder "system/customize" but no icons there. The "data" folder is empty.
Help please :3

How did you manage to overwrite the background? I found the customized_icons folder but just can't find the icon_background or icon_frame files on my system.
Help appreciated.
Anyone noticed how in ICS, some apps (I suspect its got something to do with the in built browser?) are rendering fonts small despite setting system fonts to large.
Examples include rdio, and national australia bank.
I tried changing the font size in system and font size (accessibility) in default browser, but nothing seems to affect certain apps like the ones above.
Anyone know of a fix, or found a DPI that doesn't break anything? reading old threads apparently changing DPI breaks things
I was hoping the fonts issue would be solved in ICS. System fonts are way too small such as under icons etc. It's slightly better in some apps that respond to the ICS changing font size option. User sk806 in the development section was working on this issue for HC but found it very complicated to change the font size at the system level.
Thats the bit I don't get: how do we fix the apps that don't obey the system setting? Must be some kind of built in library or browser.
