I have 12 contacts on my Cphotodialer. I wanted to know how you could add more. Say what if you wanted 30 or 40.... Would you just make a new registry entry and that's it. Know cpr or xml change? Just wondering. Think it would be nice to have some more.
Just registry entries. Add more pages, under hklm/security/chome/defaultsettings/cphotodialer and hklm/software/microsoft/chome/photodialer ....
I tried to just copy the lnk file for contact 12 and paste it into a different directory so that I could change what it said and then rename it to contact13, but after I do that. Nothing happened in my panel. I updated the registry in both places with a page 13 exactly as the other contacts are in the panel. I want to know what I am doing wrong. If I have to create a new contact13h.lnk and contact13m.lnk files, how do you create a lnk file? thanks for all the help
did you change pages at the bottom of hklm/security/chome/defaultsettings/cphotodialer it looks like
Pages Page1,Page2,Page3,Page4,Page5,Page6,Page7,Page8
I am looking for upwards of 20-25. I know that seems like a lot, but I like to have options. I just wish I knew what to do to make them myself. I don't want to have to depend on you guys to the hard work like some people do. I am just thankful to have the knowledge guys.

you do realize it will be quicker just typing in the first 3 four letters of any part of the name and the contact will show up. from home screen.
Yeah, but I still would like the option to choose. Plus, like I said it's nice to have the knowledge. "He who hath knowledge, hath power."

Thanks a million bro!! This totally did the trick. I feel so stupid for not noticing this on my own. Guess cause I've been going light speed for too long. Anyway, works perfect. Rock on ROM master.
The XDA 2010 theme is in Open Beta.
Use this thread to report bugs in the new forum style. Screenshots are helpful! Also, be sure to tell us what browser and version you are using!
Please DO NOT report:
- Bugs in IE6 or IE7. We are aware of several issues in IE7 and are working to fix these. IE6 users will need to continue using the old template or upgrade.
- Bugs related to the fact that long thread titles sometimes overlap other elements on the page.
We are working to fix the above ASAP.
Thanks everyone!
MOD EDIT: tnyynt: You can read a detaled tutorial called Where Is Everything In The New Forum Style?
Not a bug but rather an unncessary feature: Make the font in signatures (currently Trebuchet MS) the same as the posts (Verdana), else it looks a bit strange.
Great work!, 2010 skin looks great
- When going to write a PM, when entering member´s name, on old style soon as I started to type member name it displayed a list with possible matches, that feature is no longer present on 2010 style.
- Using Opera 10.53.
- There is a squared empty space (I know fir publicity) on the left side of Accesories, Marketplace, Networking and Off topic section, that is not looking good.
- IN general 2010 style loads a bit slower than old skin

The font/size displaying (in Firefox) is different for a post that quotes another post, than for a post with no quoting. There's something odd going on there, because quoted posts use the same font/size as a regular post (used to be in italics in the old style). When you quote a post the quote is in the normal sort of font, but then your own reply is smaller, which looks strange.
Edit - just checked, and there's the same "issue" using IE 8 and Chrome.
The "you last visited" and "Private Messages" text at the top right aren't always right-aligned which seems to depend on how long the navigation text is.
"HTC Hero: G2 Touch > Hero, G2 Touch Android Development"
is one example.
Using Firefox 3.6.3 on Ubuntu Lucid.

I find this too.
When resizing the browser window (Chrome beta channel), the PM link and forum journey thing merge and the formatting goes weird. I think this is the same bug as above.
I don't find a bug; their is on thing; thats the fact I find that you see not clearly the different background color between a earlier post and your reply to it!
thats the only thing I can mention fore it! Not that I don't see the other different now thy are good! just the fact of the different color to a replay is not well visible! thats all!
sorry fore my English!

Do you mean when quoting posts (like this)?
I can't say it really bothers me... Maybe my screen contrast is higher than yours?
I would like to see some differentiation in colour between stickied and non-stickied threads, though.
Edit: And I know these aren't really bugs, but the 'poll' icon needs updating/enlarging to match the others
Another thing I found, and it's probably vBulletin rather than the redesign, but if you enable pop-ups for PMs and click to open them in a new window, nothing happens in Chrome.
Nice work,indeed , i really like the new style
No bug found but just a suggestion, a more darkness colour between unreaded and readed threads.

Will test more in compact view, and if not convinced perhaps going back to original style...

This seems to be working worse than before. Although svetius has asked not to report issues with it, so I guess they already know about it.

1. The colours seem fine all on 3 screens I've tested on. Maybe a screen shot of the exact bit that you are having the problem with.
2. A new poll icon is probably needed.
3. I think this is a Chrome thing, did it work in the old design in Chrome?

Unread are emboldened and read are not. Just like with the old theme. Forums with unread posts have a Dark > icon, where as read ones have a White > icon.

I use the full style and can ignore it. Although I don't look at the index for very long. I jump forums using the "find your device" now that it's on every page.
Sorry i didnt notice that icons..thanks for clarification Dave.

I also am finding little to no difference between the quoted parts of messages.
it is probably a contrast issue.
on my laptop with nvidia gts 360M, If i crank all the settings down, I can finally see a color difference between the quoted text. (but then my entire system looks horrible)
my 19" acer lcd on PC with generic intel graphics also looks the same. (bad)
I am using firefox 3.6.3 on Ubuntu for both laptop and computer.
although I have contrast issues with Yahoo mail as well
so I am sure it is my setup.

Looks like there might be some merit in changing the BG colour of the quoted text.
IIRC, the original BG colour was too light and blinding the private beta testers. So the admin's made it darker, I'm guessing that the Quoted BG colour wasn't darkened, leading to the lack of contrast between the two.
Dave
aside from the contrast issue,
I love the new design.
Infact I have been using it for a few days now.
I didn't even know it was NEW. I just found it and thought....How did I miss this cool feature....LOL

Agreed. I am using a calibrated panel here, and there is minimal difference between the quoted and normal text colour.
Also, a subjective one, as I really like the theme otherwise, but it seems to be a bit 'plain'. I actually find myself losing attention to threads and doing other stuff with this theme a bit more than before.
I guess I amn't finding it as readable as before, but I can't quantify it really.
Also, is there a possibility of taking the final theme, and cloning it, but popping a 320px width restriction on it, making a mobile version? That would be a nice thing, although the pages take a bit longer than before to render on webkit 3.1 browser.
P
I have the same contrast issue. There really is very little difference on my own screen between the background of the quoted text and the other text.

Made a tweak on this to darken up the quoted parts. Better?
We really appreciate all the comments, and we'll get to these things one by one.
Also, huge thanks to Dave for all his help.
By the way: if everyone really hates the new square ad on the home page, we can make it invisible for members. As per the announcement, the last thing we want to do is annoy all of you guys.
What happened to the upper-page jump to page links ?
There was an page link at the TOP and Bottom of the form page!
But Now ONLY the bottom of the thread .. Its a real pain in the Butt!
to have to scroll all the way to the bottom of 50 posts to get to the page links !
Please Bring it back Please !

Yes please. This stinks. I guess i must have something with having readers scroll thru as much info before making a post.
But you cant destroy the user experience for all the rest just because of a few.
Please change it back, pronto!
Are we saving electricity or real estate? Please bring that top page switcher back!! It was great before it was "improved"!

Never thought about it this way, but that could be one reason. However it's pretty annoying, for example, when you're looking through a thread to figure out where you are, and you go to the next page, see that you've been on this one already, and have to go to the bottom to go to the next page. And since the bottom of the page is not actually where the next page button is, it takes some time.

Yea ! Thanks ! I was sure hoping to hear that !
Hope you find the bug as soon as possible because this situation is very annoying.
Scroll down to bottom of page and change theme from xda 2010 to xda classic and you will have upper page jump back. It changes the look, but you will have the jump back.
I'm glad to know it's a bug, I thought I changed something
It's indeed very annoying without it.
Good luck finding the bug.
btw, if I switch to 'hybrid mode' I get the page numbers back. But it's a not really in the right place. Maybe it helps.
It has been restored now.
thank you
thanks xda-developers

Hey XDA world!
I am, FINALLY, going to ask about the new forum theme.
I always revert back to the old forum theme, because when I try to use the new one, I have to scroll left and right to input my username and password... or have to scroll left and right to read or see the whole page. This happens on my phone AND on my laptop... but doesn't happen on either when I use the old theme.
When I revert to the old theme, I see the entire page and it's so much easier to use.
Otherwise, I would use the new and improved theme.
Is there any way to fix this scrolling problem or is that just the way it is? And does anyone else not use the new theme because they are also running into this problem?
Forgive me if this had been posted about.
I looked at the post suggestions, but nothing came up.
Thanks guys!

I was originally going to post it there... then at the bottom it had a box to check if my post was a question, so I checked the box. Then it notified to move it to the Q&A, so I assumed maybe it should go there.
It was just kind of confusing.

Curiously, this happened to me a week or two back. Changed from newest first to threaded mode all by itself, though actually the setting was still set correctly. Just had to resave the settings.
I'll report it to the backend guys though.

I've had this happen too. But for me, it seemed it was a specific mobile browser issue. I switched browsers and it was fine. Never touched my settings.
And yup, everything said deleted. Really confused me at first. Lol
And a note, going back to that browser after awhile, all was fine. Go figure.
