iPhone styled home pages (Now with landscape support)

Skyline987 · #1 (**permalink**) 09-27-2009, 09:28 PM

Back when i had my Glyde a few users at HowardForums created a finger friendly homepage for web browsing. I've taken their code and reformatted it to fit the Omnia's screen.

Big Thanks to nvrmind for cleaning up my code and making it work in landscape.

Installation
Installing this cab will change your Opera and PIE homepage settings.
THIS MUST BE INSTALLED DEVICE STORAGE FOR IT TO WORK!! Due to the registry edit for the default homepage it wont work if you install it to a Storage Card or My Storage. If there's enough interest for a different default install location i'll change it.

Customization
Easy as editing the HTML in the mobile.html file. To create images use photoshop or some similar editor and create a 72x72 image. Create your new logo and paste the contents of overlay.png (it will be in "\Program Files\Skyline987\OmniaHome\Images") over it. This should give it a nice shaded effect like the other icons.

Installation
All you need to do is extract the homepage folder onto your device. Navigate to the folder on your device with file explorer and open mobile.html. Then open the settings in opera and open the start page heading and select use current.

Currently due to the way its coded it will still show 3 icons across in landscape. I really didn't put to much effort into it lol. Let me see if i can try something to make it a tad better.

Hey, I fixed the html to allow switching orientation automagically. Here's the new file...

UPDATE: made the file smaller, and used css a little more effectively. (about 1K smaller). File size (unzipped) is now 2.43 KB
