Testers Needed: Panoramic BGs for TP2!!!

apacho01 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-29-2009, 10:36 PM

Not quite sure if thats how its designed or if its a flaw... Icons are are not centered when scrolling. Kinda cool that they do it though. Seems to have issues with background when scrolling though. I can see "seams" centered between internet and photos and at the end between settings and stocks. Installed Test v1 and kappa space. Same version of manila (2.1 etc)

Thank you for the input.

I think the seams may be my fault. These backgrounds are actually ones that I created already for TP and had to piece together and re-edit. I'm going to go back and edit the Kappa Space with a fresh (not pieced together) image.

As for the icons not centering, are you talking about the heroes or tray icons? And are they moving up or down?

Kappa Space (Fresh)

Do you have any of the same things happening with the icons? The vid you posted doesn't really look like there is a change.

Yeah, I'm experiencing the same... The seams I figured would get worked out once we finalized testing... As for the heros, I believe it did the same on the TP... It's just that the first and last tabs, since they are at the edge of the Pano, get chopped a bit...

There are slight "seams" that you will see. That is because pano is made up of three separate images that are put togther. The seam should be barely noticable. This is how pano is supposed to look. Or at least this is the goal.

This is why I need the TP2, I can't test it myself. But, we are making a little progress here. Just gotta work out the kinks. If you're willing to stick around and help, I think we can get this figured out.

*I just noticed that the panos that rotastrain made did the same thing with the icons. And looking at the files in the cab, there are only a few files that are different than the cab for vga panos. Maybe tweaking the vga manila files will be the fix. I just uploaded a new test cab on post #2. And I'm working on another one as well.*

i know there will always be seems in the images, i just put that in there so other people will know the seems are going to be there.

i removed version 1 and installed version 2 but did not notice any changes.

EDIT: I just tried version 3, the icons stay in the correct location but so does the background

Kappa Space (Fresh)

The heroes are Sliding much like the background. The Home icon starts out on the left and they move to the other side. By the time I slide to Settings its oriented to the far right. Its cool except the Home and Settings Icons are kinda cut off the side of the screen.

Also when going to all programs, the text for all programs is black and conflicts with the background. Side effect at most, just difficult to see. maybe if a opacity setting was changed it could make it easier to see. Sorry I dont have screen shots yet but ive had the phone for a cumlitive of 3 hours now... lol

Edit: OK so I just watched the video and that one is doing the same thing. Not really an issue except the icons getting cut off slightly. I guess it is doing what it is supposed to do. Just surprised me I guess
