Quote from: bbiedermHi yogiman!

I wanted to try your skin but I am having major problems!
After a while more and more of your skin disapears !!!
In the begining everything is fine, but then, when the upper left area should start (I guess so) to cycle, it is not displayed anymore.
Then the more I tab the more disapears.

Do I have to set filters for poom?

Please help, because your skin looks really nice !!!

Hi,

I have the same problems, i don't know what the problem is :( When i find a solution i will let you know. I suspect it has something to do with the moonphases. When i comment them out the skin works ok.

I am also having bthe same problems with 2004_eng.  I commented out the Moon Phase & Night Weather section & all is well.

Three other issues:
1. The update time space is not suffecient the final ] overlaps the last digit
2. How can I change the CF icon on the system area to an icon for the ipaq file store?
3. The launcher places a blank space before the first icon.  Any suggestions to remove iut so I can add anadditional icon?

This is a great skin.  Please let us know when you have worked out the problem with the moon phase & night weather.

Yes, that has to do with the moonphases. There is missing an endif
after the calcvar....moonphase are 7 endif's, but there has to be 8 !
Insert an endif after the 7th endif, that should fix it.

Look for this code in Region 17 (Launcher-Section):
Offsetadd,5,0      shortcut,30,0,apps-%var16%-1,s
      button,30,0,16,16,-1,0,%apps-%var16%-1

change it to:

offsetadd,5,0    (small o) and make a carriage/return after the line.

That should work

Edit: better:
comment out the line with the offset else it shifts the icons to the right.
//offsetadd,5,0 or delete it.

Hi Broesel,

thanks for your corrections. Yesterday evening i looked at the code but i just didn't see it... after a long day of work it gets a little hard to see little thing like that :)

This is a great skin.  Please let us know when you have worked out the problem with the moon phase & night weather.

1. For the final ] look for: text,162,27,],l and then adjust 162 to 163 or more. That should shift the ] to the right.
2. Look for cf0.png (should be 2 of them) replace the name for an icon you want to use for your filestore. In your config utlity you should place the filestore second in the storagegroup.
3.  Try the changes Broesel suggested, they should work. (This typo in the skin happened because i edited the skin with notepad on the ipaq :)

The changes suggested by Broesel work for every skin  by the way.

No Problem, as the mooncode you use is from me, it was not so
difficult to find the problem, as I had some problems with it too, before
I got it to work.

I didn't even know the code was yours :) Thanks for that too...

Thanks for the help.  The only item that didn't work is the launcher fix.  I tried both of the fixes, commenting out the offset line and changing to a small o and the space at the beginning of the launcher remains.

Any suggestions?

Yogiman

And again, another variation. I corrected some errors in the skin (thanks Joelw :) ) and added some more stuff to it.

- Added a refresh button.
- You can still refresh when tap the date.
- You can change weathericons on the fly.
- When you tap the battery icon, it takes you to the battery settings.
- Added Ipaq file store to the memory info.
- When you tap the filestore icon it starts explorer and takes you to the filestore, this works also if you tap the cf and sd icons.
- Removed the space at the beginning of the quicklaunch.
- Some more little things, you'll see when you use it.

For the skin to work you have set the storagepaths in config.exe in the following order:

\SD Card
\CF Card
\IPAQ File Store


In the Shortcut groups You have to add the following 4 shortcuts to the first group you have. They have to be on position 11,12,13 and 14:

\windows\sd card.lnk
\windows\cf card.lnk
\windows\ipaq.lnk
\windows\powerg.lnk






Thanks to Broesel, Joelw and the rest of the people here on the Forum for sharing their ideas, graphics and solutions.

What is the last icon under the date?  Mine has no action.

Great Job!
But translation is not perfect!
If you click on weather icon to dispaly daily status, some info are in netherland instead of english

Well, looks like my "cloud"-button and should change the weather-icons
but is missing an initvar-command.

Look for this in the skin:
-------------------- snip ----------------
initvar,var24,1


if,var,var24,,=,1
options,weathericondir,Weather Icons\lt,png
image,167,14,wolke_blau.png,t
button,167,14,11,11,-1,6,var24=2,-1

else

options,weathericondir,Weather Icons\weather.com,png
image,167,14,wolke_blau.png,t
button,167,14,11,11,-1,6,var24=1,-1
endif
-------------------- snap ----------------
and insert the red marked line.

Greetings Broesel

spanky

I've added the red line at the top as you said but it doesn't work
Now it looks this way:

initvar,var24,1

if,var,var24,,=,1
options,weathericondir,Weather Icons\lt,png
image,167,14,wolke_blau.png,t
button,167,14,11,11,-1,6,var24=2,-1

else

options,weathericondir,Weather Icons\weather.com,png
image,167,14,wolke_blau.png,t
button,167,14,11,11,-1,6,var24=1,-1
endif

Is that correct?
