Re: ****OFFICIAL TF2D Skinning Thread****
 

Hi Everyone,
I played around with this a little and here's what I got.

http://thewebparrots.com/htc/tabBG.png

The problem I see is that without the tab bg the icons don't show. This is what I've tried.

** bg image in discussion is "hh_fw_tab_bg_fill.png"

I tried making the tab bg image transparent (didn't work, came out black but icons did show) I also tried making the bg image white and black thinking it might be working as a mask for the icons. (No go) I also tried commenting out reference to the image in the xml file but TF didn't reload. I didn't try removing lines altogether.

I ended up changing the tap bg image size to 100px Wide x 1px Height. This got rid of the bg bar but left a gap because the "hh_fw_background.png" wasn't high enough. 240 x 286. I changed the image size to 240 x 305. I added 37 to the height to make up for the missing 37 from the tab bg image.

After doing this I still had a gap and had to change the image size in the home settings xml file.

Property name="IDTABWG_WIDGET_RECT" id="0" value="0,0,240,280, 0,0,320,230

I changed the 280 value. It was 230. In case you don't know about the values this is how it works. There are two sets of values for the bg image. The first set of 4 numbers refers to Portrait mode. The second set of numbers is for Landscape mode. I didn't mess with the landscape because I only use it for videos.

I did see a theme posted somewhere that didn't use the bg bar.

There is one other thing I tried that did work. I changed the size of the bg bar to 240 wide. I then took a the home background and extended it to 306 in height. I copied the bottom 38px and used it as a fill for the tab bar. You couldn't see the bar except when scrolling (because the screen darkens)

I'll try a couple other things tomorrow.

Jckotze I like that theme, but I use the 24 hour clock which takes the "AM/PM" separator out and it throws the home page image off.

I disable the Analog clock on themes with digital clocks, with the clock there it was fine, but as soon as I disabled it the home image was not correct.

Yup thats how you do it but I think you need to change the frame rate aswell to make it look smooth when sliding your finger, I am also useing this method in my upcoming transformer theme and yes I have seen a couple of themes done this way aswell the original idea came from Showaco over at XDA.

Re: ****OFFICIAL TF2D Skinning Thread****
 

Where do you find the frame rate at? jdume, don't know if you've been over to my site lately. i only have my themes on it but i've also built my photo galleries. check it out when you have time.

I think its under tabwidget you will see it and when you find it change the setting to like 12 to start.
