If I change the layout on a Scene and then want to switch to a different scene, it doesn't ask me if I want to save the amended scene. Instead, it wants to save it as a new scene called Custom 1 and I have to overwrite it typing in the whole name of my scene. A bit annoying as surely it could just ask me if I want to save the changes. Have I missed something?
Also, slightly disappointed you cannot have different default email accounts for different scenes. If you change it in one, it changes it in the other scenes.

Hi everybody,
I want to use a picture as wallpaper in my Qtek 9000..
But there is a problem: the lines between the Today plugins!!
I solved DEACTIVATING all today plugin!!
But i can't belive that i can't ERASE that damned lines!
Well: i tryed Wisbar Advanced desktop... but it slows the PPC..
I would write to Microsoft.. Because i HATE that lines..
I could use Pocket Plus.. But seems it crashes PDA..
Can you suggest me something similar.. Maybe freeware..
Please help me..
Bump and ditto, easy solution?
I too would like to know how to get rid of those stupid lines, it just makes any background image look crap.
I have managed to edit the Tomtom logo and made it smaller so it takes up less space but the annoying lines have to go.
If anyone out there knows a solution it would be greatly appriciated.
how did u edit the tomtom logo?
You could try changing the colour of the lines. Google for Tweaks2k2 and you should find a great tool you can download and use 3 times before needing to purchase it. BTW, the tool does a lot more than give you the ability to change the colour of the lines. This is a must-have app.
I can't belive that the only solution is to change the line's color!
I want to see the picture of my girlfriend WITHOUT that UGLY and STUPID lines!
No other phone in the world doesn't show a full picture!
I think that the solution is to write to Microsoft.. I can't belive it.. But there is no other solution!
They have to chang Today.. It's too old.. Based on old Pocket PC (In portrait)..
Maybe i posted in a wrong room?
on a old jornada I had I recall an app that had this as an option, so its possible, there must be a way to do it, maybe just replacing the image used for the lines with a blank one?, Im no coder or anything like that, just throwing out an idea, this is a developer forum, maybe someone could throw together a quick and dirty hack or maybe a reg hack, somebody help us out, I hate those lines too.

This issue has come up in several threads. The only way I know to "get rid of" them is to change the color to match the background by using a Theme Generator program.
I found links to the SHMetrics value in the SHELL32.EXE code of wm2003se. It is all done by COMMCTRL.DLL and te lines are called TodayLVItemLine2 and TodayLVItemLine1. But this is very undocumented. The problem is that you need to reboot every time you change something in the SHMetrics value.
See this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44154
I am still fiddling around with various values of this SHMetrics value. Problem is that I realy don't know what the effect is on what GUI element.
Perhaps one day...
Cheers
Im running wisbar advance 2 and I average 2-8% cpu (overclocked to 264) with it running but I dont see a setting to remove the lines, correct me if Im wrong...
I wish wisbar had different edge/gprs icon support, edge is spotty in many areas I frequent, so I trey to dl when im in an edge supporting cell...even if it just showed the actual icon like "notifications"

to change the colour of the tomtom sign just go to paint and zoom in and change the colour to your desire. i have made mine deep red. and to change the size go into photoshop and change the image size to a smaller size.
Once you have the one you want just go to the tomtom folder that should be on the root of your device and replace the file ttoday.bmp with the one you have. You might want to back up the original ttoday.bmp file just in case.
Once replace you don't even need to soft-reset. just go into settings-today and check to see if tomtom is selected to appear on your today screen. once you tap on the tick in the corner your picture will be updated.
Il try to attach the ones i have done but this is my first time attaching an image so it might not work.
As for the crappy lines on the screen.....Is there not a way just to make the lines invisible???

I promise that I have searched for this and got nothing but a headache for my troubles, maybe I'm entering the wrong search terms, I do not know.
Previously I had my HD set up with a .jpg file (irrelevant as to what it was) as the common background to all of the tabs in TF3D. After Orange swapped the phone, under insurance I have been living with the default theme for a few months now and reckon that it is time for a change.
However for the life of me, I can not work out how to change the background in TF3D.
Everything that I have read on here seems to apply to the Today Screen only, but clearly from the screen shots on various threads everyone else is showing TF3D with a spanking new background.
Some mention going to SETTINGS>WALLPAPER, I have no such option in the settings screen.
Have tried the SETTINGS>TODAY>Use this picture as the backghround, but this only gives a background picture if TF3D is switched off.
I know that this can be done with a change of theme, but I am pretty certain that this was not what I did last time. And I do not, yet, have the knowledge to make my own from scratch. (I have read the MaxTF3D Theme Maker thread).
Any advice or pointers greatfully recieved. No I do not want you to come and do it for me
Scratch that
Yes I know I am a tit.
Found it in the TF3D Settings, not the windows settings.
intro: I'm a bachelor student who has a little knowledge of programming.
For the first time i try to make a simple game that i already wrote in java work in vb.
I'm planning to make this a full working game that I can place on the market place for free.
I already have the idea how to make the AI to play 1 vs PPC
I wrote it for a WVGA screen but its completely dynamic so it should work on other screen sizes.
Only when you change the orientation the text will not be visible (need to think where i'm gonna place it)
pls feel free to give input on the project.
I uploaded the whole vb net directory so its open for everybody
(Im still a bit strugling with a cab file that has links in it
if you instal it, it should be visible in the programfiles dir)

-thanks to Gaz25 the refresh problem is soved
-the 4 on a row detection algorithm is completed
Hi, I had a look at your code and fixed your flicker problem.
Basically, when you do you own drawing on a control like a panel you need to take control of painting the background as when a control is redrawn it paints the background first and then anything else on top like text, images etc...
The best thing to do is create a custom control. Then you can override the OnBackgroundPaint event and say do nothing.
Then override the OnPaint event and here is another trick.
In the OnPaint event, create a bitmap. This will be the 'backbuffer' which you will do all your drawing on. Then when you have done all your drawing on the backbuffer, you draw the backbuffer to the screen.
I have included your solution with my modification which I hope make more sense .
If you need more explanation then let me know and I will go into more detail.

i will look at it monday when i'm back from a festival
thanks in advance.
sended from x1
Thank you very mutch,
i just tested it and it works perfect.
I will try to make it better in the following weeks.
Only one thing that you changed in my code that wasn't correct "speler = 0" (on load, needs to be 1 or 2) (speler = player)
I also found an error in my own algortim for the 4 on a row detection
"teller1 = teller2 = 0" ( gave me a -1 on teller1)
I was thinking that at the time where developers will have access to Mango accent colours, it could be a lovely idea to make an app like this:
http://colorschemedesigner.com/
Imagine a "light version" of this app for WP7 with:
1. The same access to color data (viewing of hex/rgb values)
2. A big "randomizer button" to randomly produce combinations (like the one inside the online app menu...)
3. Presets with load save
4. ..an "apply as theme colors" function (the app would map the generated colors to each of the available parts (registry keys) of the OS.
..someone could tap the randomizer button if he doesn't know about color combinations, until he finds one he likes. Then, he could manually or automatically (randomly) map colors to the appropriate areas of the OS. (I think this is about 3-4 color mappings), save the combination into a preset and apply it by adding it as an accent color in phone's theme menu.
I could definitely buy such an app, even if it was an expensive one.
i think what you are looking for is called Advanced Config

Advanced Config:
1. Doesn't work properly (It closes right after I open it in Mango and I also get an error message at the start. I had it before some months and it worked...I don't know what happened)
2. It doesn't have a color scheme generator (we can just choose one color for the tiles and active fonts and that's all). So we can't change background / tile / tile font colors according to an already tested combination of colors.
3. It doesn't have a randomizer (which, if all the above existed, could modify all of the OS colors with a minimum amount of aesthetic errors. Not all combinations are suitable for every use, but at least many of them could be quickly accessible with just the press of a button and they could be even modified if the user wanted.
...for those who say that WP7 has already great colors and doesn't need apps/functionality like this I can say that the system doesn't get bloated with an advanced color customizer. It gets bloated when someone tries to radically change the style of the UI, like making the 2d icons look like "iphone 3d icons" etc...that could be bad...but having the ability to properly change tile/background/font colors, is like MS making us part of their design team.

Sorry for the wrong thread. I hadn't noticed that section..
Hey Guys,
I am thinking of an app where the screen has 2 parts. I am thinking of using fragments for this.
However here is my question:
In the first screen/activity I am asking a user to click something on the bottom half based on the question in the top half. Once the answer is correct the user goes to the next set of questions.
Example:
The first screen can have 2 half, on top pick colour black,and the bottom has 4 or 5 different colors. Once the user clicks black, I want the user to see the next question, Maybe, Pick color Red and so on and so forth.
My questions is should I be having one main activity and different fragments based on number of questions that I want to ask?
Also can I make a generic template for a fragment and use an array list to populate the contents of the fragements ?
Thanks
I would put all of them into one Activity, no Fragments are needed. Indeed, the app should be faster without Fragments.
For another question just change the text/color of the View at the bottom.
Your question cannot have a specific answer
If you could make a template (base) actvitity for all possible answers at the bottom part of the screen, why not adding the top part also
and make one template activity without fragments?
But i have a feeling that your app will benefit from fragments if you cant make the template above.
If all your answers are not so similar in UI or logic (for example colors, geometric drawings, ... songs played) then you need to
a) build on base answer activity used to communicate with the question activity (passing data etc)
b) build some ancestor activities for all possible answer types, and finally
c) populate an array of activity "types" (from ) and their parameters to load on the bottom fragment when needed
so you pick the next from the array.. make an instance of the activity based on its base class, pass the parameters and pass it on the fragment
