Why do I have a green dot? - About xda-developers.com

I know, not the most interesting topic, but it's been bugging me. Why do I have a green dot beside my name rather than a blue dot?
Is it because you don't like me? j/k
I figured it was some kind of new member thing (greenhorn). Maybe completely wrong, I don't know, someone tell me please.

It looks blue to me. Maybe your post just upgraded you to the next level.

Green means the user is online.....

u'll always see a green dot next to your name.
thats because its green when you are online and you got to be online to use this forum.
if still you want a blue dot, just log out ond browse the forum.
your wish fulfilled.

Hooray!
Now I feel slightly smarter. Ok, enough of that. What's important is that I look stupid to everyone else.
Hooray!

You can keep a blue dot, by changing the settings in ur profile that shows when u are online, if u so desire.

If I am logged on to a computer and no one is viewing any of my posts on any forum that I have typed, how do we know that I really have a green dot??
Might have to check it from my Phone while in the icebox checking the bulb in there when the door is closed, or would that be out in the woods where trees are falling??

Mike,
Thanks for keeping things fun around here, you're doing a great job. Also thanks for helping with my diet, cause I sure don't want lunch any more.

Actually, it changes to a red dot when you change your profile to not show you as online to other users.

Do what I do - ask a question, find out it was a silly one, edit your original post to be a different question and then add a final post asking everyone if they're mad.

Sadly, the question is: "What do you get if you multiply six by nine." At least, that's all the information we've got on the question. The readout was taken just a tad before the algorithm had been fully explored.
Sorry, but that's all I've got to show for seven and a half million years' work.

and to think all this got started cos of the green dot (scared). anyways book me up for some calculus too

Green is the new pink.

It's the forum's caste system. Newbies get green, mods get to post naughty pictures.

Oh, yeah, I know him. It's Mr. Churchill. A personage I greatly admired, BTW. Man, that bulldog has a talent, eh? Probably licking the green dot off of his brow.
Thanks, Mike, for reminding me. I need new swim goggles. The lenses popped out the other day when Alex Curran showed up at my pool with some of her friends the other day. The papparazzi shot some pictures. You can see them here:

there are a couple of pieces of software that will automatically do it. one is smart toolkit, the other escapes me but it's something like autolock or something like that.

If you're a SmartToolkit user there's an option on Control Panel to AutoKeyLock your Excalibur. It has some customizations also it's pretty cool. Check it out, I think that's what you're looking for
Hope it helped

Still needs work I can see a lot of parts missed in the characters, and the little flying dude looks really blocky. Just thought some helpful criticism may come in hand. Were you using more than the magic wand?

The characters are exactly as they were in their original photos... Took quite a bit of time to cut out their original backgrounds. I am going back in and adding shadows to them to give a bit more depth. And the moogle (the flying dude) looks blocky because the quality of the photo I used was crap.
I'm still kinda new to Photo Shop, but learning fast. And I certainly appreciate the criticism.. Once the picture is on your phone as a wallpaper tho, doesn't look bad at all.
Keep the comments coming... Any requests and ANY constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome

It is good work, and as a beginner to Photoshop its nice to see you know how to use it. I would suggest using higher DPI images as your source, even if they will be shrunk down later. Good work though.

I'm sure he's referring to what I said. The wallpaper looks clearly ripped from different photos, and I can point out at least 10 specific areas that need the work. It also might help if they had shadows, might make them look like they belong in that wallpaper, rather than a cut and paste job.

It would allow us to reply to all the "how do I flash a rom?," "which is the best rom?," "should i buy a gnex?," "what is the battery life like on the gnex?," threads much, much faster.
This would be great for efficiency. Rather than taking the time to copy/paste the URL of a web-hosted image(possibly uploading one or google image searching one first), or upload an image from our own hard drive as an attachment, we could simply enter in a few keystrokes and have our reply finished in seconds.

Or you could just say to them that the instructions are in the first post, you cant ask that question it is against the rules, phone choice is a personal choice. Also you could put nothing at all and hit the report button instead, i am pretty sure that is why its there.

Colored username?

So today I noticed that my username turned blue, and i couldnt find anything using the search term "colored username" nor "blue username". First I thought it was because of RT, but I then compared to some other RTs (which was grey), so that wasnt the case.
I'm confused, sorry for this silly question!

Firstly thanks for changing the colours, and thanks for the heads up about the database.
I have also heard that if you Delete cache and cookies in your browser, this might fix it for some.
It's actually memcache but I'll give you a pass

[Q] (Request) Putting numbers on a watchface.

Hi I dont suppose anyone would be happy to help me finish a project i have?
Im having trouble making the missing numbers (the picture will show what i mean) for a watchface I am making.
The watch will be in the style of my cars rev counter (Renault clio 200) which is shown here

I want the hour numbers going from 9 to 4, 4 being in red where the 8 on the rev counter is.
Could somebody if they have time, suggest a similar font, make the missing numbers or even add them to my PSD file which is uploaded to my Google drive?
The plan from there is to have the temp gauge as a battery meter and where the x1000 is I will put the date.
Once complete i will share with the community and another watch which i am finishing up which is shown here
Thanks all

I actually use paint.net (http://www.getpaint.net/). It has many nice features, pretty easy to learn, and best of all is free. I really take advantage of the layers tool and then always make sure to save a copy in their format (.pdn). Then when I'm satisfied with what I have, I copy each layer into a new image, flatten it, and save the png file.
It's nice having those separate layers. It made switching out the numbers for the bigger ones really quick.
