Ok, it's sad to say but, I don't think I'm going to make my deadline.  I'm going to keep at it but there are just too many variables that I have to overcome.  I'm still working some pesky bugs out with the vars and due to a late design flaw on my part I had to take a couple of days to fix it.  Since that part is fixed, I've got to redo some of the documentation.  Along with that, I've got 2 other commitments for my family that I've been promising for months to get done.  Talk about procrastinating!  :oops:   So, this weekend is for them.  I'm close enough to say that "I'm pretty sure I'll have it done by Monday, Feb 21st."  It really is that close.  But I don't want to release it without documentation since I did with a couple of testers and it wasn't that easy to setup.  :knownot:   I don't know how many users out there want this animal.  But hopefully, it will be worth it.  Heck, if anything, I'm hoping the documentation alone will be worth it.  We'll see.  So, until next weekend, hang in there, mates..

Good news!
 I think I've crushed the last known hurdle (bug) in my next release.  I plan to start back on the documentation tomorrow night.  I gotta wine and dine the 'ol lady tonight.  :roll:   Or you guys may never hear from me again.  So, next Monday is a real good date for release still.  I just hope I can cover everything in the documentation.

Okay, It's done.  Barring my death,  :cry: I'll start the long process of updating this tomorrow night.  For those interested, It probably won't be done until after 7:00 PM CST.  That's just a safe time for me to get everything done.  See ya then..

Quote from: HighTymesIt would be awesome if this skin was available for QVGA screens. I like the new addition of the task bar across the top for shotcuts. Great stuff man.

For those interested.  Someone is stepping up and will be attempting to modify the skin for QVGA devices.  I'll keep you informed of the progress as I see how it unfolds.

I´ve got a problem,when I run this skin (wonderful, by the way :bow: )If I touch the icon "weather" it clogs up and stops working until I make a soft-reset or reload the skin from TP-config. However, when I access "weather" from "preferences" it works perfect.Any idea or help are welcome.Thanks on advance.  :wall:

Hi Terror,
Welcome to the TP forum !!

Question:  Does your device run with the "Spanish OS" ??

We have had a few problems in the past with "var51" and the Spanish OS !!
Just a thought..  I think Geezer did use var51 in his skin, but not sure !!  :idea:

Hi Terror, welcome to the forum from us old folks...  Yes, I did use var51 and I'm being told that it will cause a problem with the spanish OS, just like Zapme1 said.  You SHOULD be able to do a search in the skin file and change that var to something like var68, for example, and it will work.  Keep in mind, I don't think I use that anywhere else.  However, I MAY have to once I get back into updating this with more features.

Yes, my x50v runs with the spanish OS. I have tried to change this var51 to var68 in both places where it appears but it has no result :oops:. I instead will wait your update. I'm looking forward to it. Thx.

Do you still have "intivar,var51=" at beginning of skin?  Try to comment it out.

I tried the 2B VGA skin, and my screen looks like this. I cannot figure out why it's doing this. I'm using toshiba e330 with ppc 2002. Hope someone can help me out.

Thx!
