Hey guys I am am using image as BG of the app and for buttons...but where I am facing problem is like while I have mentioned 60dp margin from top...it is working for current layout but on smaller or larger device it is casing problems like the layout is getting distorted.
Also using .9.png image to avoid px sizing problem.
So can anyone help me with like what should I do to make the layout looks same on every device?
I know on one side its a simple question but on the other end its the most complicated question....
So any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Just looks like you're using 1 dimension value, for all sizes... or am I missing something ? Are you aware of resource structure and qualifiers ?
yeah

OK well now it looks like you are using a relative layout as the view group parent and setting quite odd margins or padding, I think you should look at the different layout types. Just looks like you need a linear layout and then to read up on the device qualifiers for dimensions like large,medium,small and hdpi,xhdpi,xxhdpi etc
hope that helps
here it goes

I get this message: "This paste has been removed!"
I'd use a Relative Layout and set the lowest button to
Code:
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
Then use
Code:
android:layout_above="@id/the_other_id"
for all other views.
Experiment with different dimension values for different dpis via dimension resources.
Best would, however, be to separate the logo from the background and use an ImageView for it.

well tbh only use relativeLayouts if you "need" them, as they are the heaviest kind!
What you have will work, but you need to read http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
as your problem is just lack of space due to static dimensions that have no relation to the screen metics as explained in that link.. Also 1 image for that background is not a good design decision. Also a hinderance when building adaptive layouts

Greetings,
Some of you already know this plugin! For those who don't, this is my "answer" to the non existent time on the titlebar of the most recent ROM's and the huge space wasted with the native Date (and Time) plugin!

I wish I knew how!!!
That's the whole point on this plugin: so far, nobody knows how to fix that...
Could you allow a font change, to reduce the height of the plugin? I know it's already small, but I'm missing 2 pixels for not having the scroll bar in landscape.
Thanks for your great plugin

The font size on my screen changes when I alter the size in Settings>>Screen>>Text Size, and shows the same font as the rest of the headings in the today screen - which to me makes sense.
When in landscape I found the scroll bar overlaps the clock on the right, so I added 1 space after HH:mm in the settings, and it looks fine.
Hehe, you are right. Sometimes, you are so used to seach for complicated solution that you don't think about the obvious
I guess this is less work for ei99070 but if he has already started, then it can be used for setting thinks more precisly, or change to bold or italic.
Otherwise, I've got the option I need. Thanks for pointing this out pewe

Love the plugin, thanks.
Can you make it so that when you tap on it, it can either do nothing or run a specific application? I never use the Clock applet except for setting the time. Thanks again!
THANX I'm really glad with your app! I works perfect on a Dutch QTEk ROM!

As requested, version 0.1.2.0 brings configurable font-size in options dialog!!
You can find it in the URL posted above!
Great job thanks !
Any way to have the same icon that original date plugin in front of the date at the left of the screen ?
I've installed this plugin, works well, 2 questions though:
If I have the time displaying as hh:mm:ss is it possible to get the seconds to count up rather than just changing every minute?
What characters do what when put in the settings, I figured out DD/MM/YY and hh:mm:ss, but what else does stuff?
Thanks again.
Sorry, 3 questions:
Can I get the time in 24hr time format?
Cheers
@ ei99070
Great, great job! I'm your fan, and an happy one .
Only a small detail. You just missed the caption for the font size ComboBox. Something like "Font Size [6..20]".
Were you saving space for the landscape mode?
There are other options, like:
- Make items closer.
- Decrease ComboBox width and put caption at its left.
- Use tabs, where one could be dedicated for the credits.
Off course everybody who's following the correspondent threads, knows what the ComboBox is for.

i never liked it f**k the iphone ^^
but as you can see in the animated screenshot you can chose an own background picture. but anyways there are some things that i do not like either ... will try to change them
There's something strange, here...
... look at the clock when the cube rotates.
Has anyone actually tried it, does not seem to work, at startup it gave me an error in English/French (Can't initialise Direct3D - Les animations seront deactiviees - PECaller TouchCaller V1.0.4) then loaded but scrolling does not work right and cube does not work at all.
So how is it possible to enable Direct3D or is my phone not capable of this, maybe another program?/
It shows you need DirectX compatibility, how do we enable this or know if our device has it?
Apache PPC6700
hmpf havent tried it, will give it a try this evening when i'm home from work. i only copped this file from a forum which is from france, do not know this language so i can not read what stands there about troubleshooting.
maybe someone can translate into english, this would be n1ce
here is the original posting: http://www.pdainfo.org/forum/index.php?topic=110.msg351
and in an other forum they said :
1. i dont know, whether its me or the program itself,..working on O2 atom life, but kind of messy...lot of icons which are there but not functioning and i dont even know what they are for???...it doesnt fit the my screen as well or probably its for the VGA device..
2. working great on my htc tytn (qvga)
STRANGE .....

yes this is right, dont know why but it is that way, got the two files from this france forum i told y'all in the first post

so long ......
today night i will give it a try to unpack the cab file and change more things to give it the htc black theme
Hi Fellas.
For those who want simple bright themes, this might interest you. I initially made this for myself, but decided to un-customize it a little and share it.
Can't think of what to call it, so this is it:
White Gold v1
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Just copy the cab over to diamond and run it. Restart manila to take effect.
It's un-installable.
I would recommend a custom home wallpaper with white bottom so that the theme shall look good. This is because the bottom bar fades out in the home screen, and it depends on what color your wallpaper has for it to look good.
More pics:
Here's a "serving suggestion"
Custom logo for the Home tab:

2nd Today screen, with similar TF3D design, to blend in seamlessly.

It "curses" with the green up and lower case
But I do know that Singapore (and big parts of Asia)are more colorfull
Succes with your future releases. If you change silver-gold tones -icons with each other, I might try this bling-bling theme for sure

2nd Today:

As for the appointment plugin, it's called O2plus. It shows you x number of lines of upcoming appointments. It was eventually meant for O2 devices, but ended up being cracked for all devices. I don't want to discuss it here, but if you're interested, pm me.
And remember.. Google is your friend.
Cheers.

OK- got it for the green explanation.
What I meant is that reverting Silver and Gold with each other, would look like a Gold background and silver internal icons. A real bling-bling phone (and I saw that someone is creating silver-gold new icons in another theam thread)
But, style is personal preference hehe...
Dear Mask,

You can specify the number of pixels you want to space out.

Hi, I changed some graphics, when they are pressed, they are green instead of black. I think it suits the overall diamond look more. Check out the screenshots for more info.
Also, I changed all in my opinion unnecessary animated gifs (used in mms), bmps, some keyboard layouts to 1x1 pix images to save some space...altogether about 2,5mb. English and german layout is left intact. Please check the zip file for yourself, before replacing all pictures.
Only extract the zip file into your windows directory, and overwrite the files you want to. Its possible, that they will be protected...just soft reset the device, and copy them over right after the phone starts. I suggest you use activesync for that.
Cheers!
PS: At your own risk!
Edit: I attached a cab file thanks to Buusgug. It does not backup the original files though.

Hi guys, thanks for the comments, but all the colors were left as in the original files. I didnt want to make the files bigger.
Or did you mean something else?

i dont know how the changing the color would work, im guessing its some sort of color code. so if all you have to do is change a value, i cant see how it would make the files bigger. but i could be wrong? im sure someone else here knows more.
Aaaah...allright...I didnt understand what you have meant in first place!
You would like to see some peppy colors, right?

Cab
i Created this CAB file, it installs the files and does a soft reset..

Yes, there are already some themes, which look like that. The vodafone one is quiet red, but there is definitely a theme that I saw which only changed the green to red. Try looking.

Hi guys.
I've looked through all the clock threads and cannot find a clock that I'm happy with, mainly for 1 reason. I'm stubborn and know exactly what I want lol.
I really like the clock when it's small, like this...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What I really want though, is the bigger clock to look exactly like that, but bigger.
Can anyone help me out with this, either by calling me a numpty and pointing me at a clock that I've overlooked, or giving me the font (or just the name) that the small clock uses so I can make my own?
Cheers in advance guys.
John.

Nice! I hadn't thought of making the small one bigger! I was thinking of making (manila files for) a larger clock, that looks just like the smaller one.
I think that changing the files for the larger clock will give you too much space between the 2 numbers ...
But that depends on what size you want the clock to be ofcourse ...

That had crossed my mind. I am preferring the idea of making the small clock's font larger now, because you could then have a different clock for the standard large one, giving you two different styles at the flick of a finger!

Yeah and if we could find it - It would be a lot easier to edit at your leisure once we know how.
Okay, so I've found out that the font is Helvetica, and I'm just getting a copy of that. I'll try editing the manila files for the clock and see what it looks like, making the larger clock look the same as the smaller.
As previously mentioned, it may well not work, but it's worth a try.
ok... I found where to change the small clock size in 1c684cd8_manila...
But when u make it bigger it gets hidden under the Call History
I dont know if I can move that ... but I'll give it a try

Funnily enough, I was just looking at that manila file myself, but never having edited a manila file before, it was a bit overwhelming. I'll wait and see how you get on with that, whilst I try the big-clock-replacement method.
Nearly got it!!!
I've got a draft version working, with a couple of niggly problems. Here's what it currently looks like...
I need to reduce the colon slightly, as it's a tad too big, and I need to get the date and operator back in the top bar. I also need to change the "1" slightly as it looks great in the screenshot above, but doesn't look as nice when it comes after a number (as in 41).
Other than that, I've got some manila files ready to upload, but would really like to put them in a cab file. I'm happy enough editing the _setup.xml file manually to suit my changes, but don't know how to package a cab file. Could someone give me a hint on that please?
Nearly done

Congratulations man! You're an example that when we want something we can get it.
XC
its nice to see someone who is willing to give it a go at
making what they want.
to many people on here now expect others to do the
work for them.
well done.
Cheers guys, but I've still got quite a way to go. Turns out I'd unwittingly shagged a couple of other things at the same time, and have had to do a lot of uninstalling & reinstalling to get things back to normal.
Anyways, I'm off for the weekend now, so I'll get back on this on Monday and, if I get anywhere with it, I'll post some results.
Cheers for the help & support, guys.

i've been searching for that one for a long time ...

Agreed, I would love a clock like this!
Please upload if you have finished it
*Bump*
I also would like to make the "smaller" clock bigger. There is no borders around it so you can see the wallpaper better. I know there are other clear clocks out there, but I would like this also because as you can see I changed my TF3D font and the smaller clock matches the TF3D font. Thanks!
Oops sorry. Sprint HTC CDMA Touch Diamond. Stock ROM. Thanks.
