Well, I just figured out the scroll bar thing. If the weather channel plug-in is active, that causes a SB to display at any height over 150px.

If I disable the plug-in, I am fine at 250px.

I will have to do some more messing with the combined tab I guess.

OMG, I LOVE this program!!

I do have one question, I finally got a combined tab to work right & I have HTC Home running at the top & 8 icons below it (2 rows of 4 icons each).

Is there any way to get a little more spacing below the bottom of the 2nd row of icons?? The very bottom of the lower icons is being cut off by the systray bar area (even if I hide the systray)

Absolutely. Under the Shortcuts & System State portion of your tab in the configuration where you add shortcuts you can also add Separators (Horizontal) and Margins (Vertical and horizontal for just space) You will have to play around to see what looks best.

There are a couple tutorials floating around your best bet is to read the first 2-4 pages of this thread probably to find the links

Every time I change something in the margin settings, I OK all the way out & absolutely nothing has changed.

I then go back into the config & all the settings have reverted back to the original settings???? (line break is checked/horizontal is set to to -1/vertical is set at 0/Display rect: is unchecked)

I dont know. I just tested on mine and was able to put a space between my icons and it worked just like it was supposed to.

Re: Ultimate Launch
 
Here is a question:

I have two schemes for Weather Panel that I really like, one is Phatphinger & I forget the name of the other one.

I figured I would set up two different Ultimate Launch tabs & use one for each scheme.

When I do this, it works super at first, but after switching back & forth a few times, WP switches so both tabs show the same scheme. Is there any way to prevent this???

It does this on every soft reset, but it also does it when simply switching from one tab to the other.

Re: Ultimate Launch
 
I'm hoping someone knows...I've been searching for hours to solve this problem.

I'm trying to use some custom icons in UL, and when I select the icon I want to use, all it shows is a white page with a windows logo on it. Kind of like what is shown if the image can't be viewed I guess.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Icons show up if they're in the .exe files, I just can't select my own.

I downloaded the program and love it. I am not familiar with the language, therefore, I am having a hard time setting my 700wx to my likings.

What is HTC?

How do I remove the current items on my screen(sprint logo & where you type a number in)?


It will not let me use weather panel. I get an error when I try to put it under a tab.

I want to be able to customize the whole screen.

Thanks

Make sure when you create the tab for weather panel, you pick either "today-Plugin" or "combination of tabs"

I think I just bricked my phone with this program.

I have a Touch with Sprint. Was just using the HTC Home plugin by itself. I also have Wisbar Advance installed. I downloaded and installed Ultimate Launch, went to the configuration settings, added a today plugin tab with no icon, set it to display the HTC Home plugin, selected "OK", and now my phone is frozen. I held the power button down to shut it down, turned it back on, and it freezes before everything loads. No way to do anything but remove the battery to reset it.

Is there any sort of "safe mode" startup that would allow me to disable Ultimate Launch from starting up when my phone turns on?

when you are setting up UL you need to select one plugin on a home tab of sorts to be active on startup otherwise the will hang up.

Really? I hadnt noticed that. In all the times Ive set up my UL i cant really remember having to choose the tab. When u install it will automatically have the UL config tab as the default. So be careful that if u delete that tab, THEN u need to select a NEW tab as the one to start on.

I experienced similar thing, but it wasn't a real hangup. I think when no starting page is specified, UL doesn't know what to open, so it leaves the screen blank. But, gesture or pressing left or right arrow will bring up UL screen. a button on top of the UL screen toggles the whole UL screen open or minimized. When UL doesn't know which to open, the cursor lies on that button. So, obviously it's not a mistake. Probably more of a feature (minimizability).

BUt, if the hangup is a serious one, sorry i have no answer.

Re: Ultimate Launch
 
Sorry, I should have said that it will hang after you try to save changes like adding a tab. Ususally a soft reset fixes it.

I feel the same about TP3D and UL. I loaded it fine on my TP. I just doubled the size of the icons in the first UL configuration screen and that did the trick.

Re: Battery Status - HTC Clone Skin
 
Stroths,

I have Batterystatus (now known as HomeScreen PlusPlus advanced) version 106.338 but I cannot get hardly any of the skins to work. They just don't display. Not sure if it's the fact that I am using UL with this version of Batterystatus. Any ideas?

Also, does anyone know where I can find this theme or what it's called? Thanks.

A type 5 today screen plugin will not display scroll bars which is the same way the HTC Home Plugin was setup if I remember correctly.

Below is my current UL setup which includes a tab with the HTC Clone Batterystatus plugin.

NOTE: The attachment won't setup the weather, ultimate launcher or add the 3 tabs I have shown. It just gives you the HTC looking clock, date, owner name and the 5 icons below the clock for notifications.

EDIT: For those that already have Batterystatus installed, you can try the attached zipped cabfile BatteryStatus HTC Home Skin.zip file. The cab should install the skin and set Batterystatus as a type 5 plugin. I haven't tested this install out but it should work.

Is the size of the icons in UL strictly limited? I ask because I'm making photo dials (using go2contact), and I'd like to have one tab with a number of them, like 3 rows of 4 or whatever, which would work with the default size. But, I'd like another tab that has only 1 contact, and thus it would just have 1 large icon that would take up the majority of the tab (about half of my screen). I find that the default icon size is a bit small for pictures for this purpose to begin with.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

No, use what ever size that will fit. You will have to specify the size of your icons in the settings.

Which settings? I tried changing both for the display settings for the specific tab, and also under the icon settings for the shortcut, but whenever I select the icon, it says Error under manage items, and doesn't show in the tab..

Re: Ultimate Launch
 
Under the main tab, xp icon options, there is a setting and there is also for individual icons in a tab. the setting is too small, so you are getting the error. UL will only display *.ico files, not *.png. Keep playing with it.

Ok, I got it to work up to 96 pixels (even 95 works), but nothing bigger than that seems to work. Is this the cut off point? I've tried 128, 132 and 97, and yes I'm using *.ico files.

demonlordoftheround 01-27-2009 11:32 PM

Re: Ultimate Launch
 
I'm pretty sure you can go larger than 96. I have a single 120 icon on one tab. The setting for the individual icon is on the xp icon tab. There are so many tabs.

I don't know where I can be going wrong.. I created a 120 icon, set it for 120 on the xp icon tab, and I get an 'invalid icon'..

Edit: Well, I don't know why, but if I don't change anything then re-select it a couple times, eventually it accepts it.. bizarre. Thanks for your help!

Re: Ultimate Launch
 
Has anyone else tried using SBSH Pocket Breeze as a tab in UL? Seems to work great, but sometimes stops allowing gestures so it gets stuck on that tab.. I like not having to have the tabs visible so figuring this out would be preferable..

Edit: Ok, I think I've figured it out. What I did in case anyone else was having this issue, was I created a combination tab, rather than just the solo today plugin. In the combination tab I put SBSH Pocket Breeze, and then I put in a shortcut one underneath it, I selected individual icon size, and then didn't add any shortcuts.. This seems to allow the gestures as long as I swipe in the correct 'blank' area, so to speak.
