[THEME] Commuter-240-QVGA theme

[syrguy1969]

Speaking of radar and map images.....has anybody had all their map/radar images disappear? Mine won't show now, they went out on me about a day or two ago. Everything else works, but no map images. I just wonder if it is something with my phone/setup, or if it is a common thing that we just have to wait out!!

storyr - thanks for the wonderful skin. 1 quick question, and I hate to ask...

Is there anyway this skin could be like the translucent skin in chameleon v2? I'm thinking it could be akin to Doreen's WP skin, but for people who don't use WAD.

Just a thought and if I was a photoshop expert i would make the images, but alas my skills are lacking.

And thanks for all of your hand work with WP!

When you say "translucent", do you mean so you can see the Today theme background behind it?

Unfortunately, this won't work well on the commuter skin, for this reason: Commuter-240 (like Vista Alive) shows the actual moon phases. In order to accomplish this, I have to use a second copy of the background images to "hide" the moon image when it's not a "night" icon. A translucent image wouldn't hide it very well...

Also, the Vista Alive backgrounds are not translucent. They work the same way as Commuter-240 (because Doreen and I came up with "actual moon phase" concept together). Perhaps you're thinking of the side bar on Vista Alive?

If I've completely missed the point, let me know...

Yes, I've seen this behavior in WeatherPanel. It sort of freaks out and stops wrapping the text under certain conditions. I thought I had fixed it - for the most part. If it's persistent, let me know and I'll try tweaking it some more...

Oops...I think the word I was looking for was actually transparent. I was not necessarily think about the icons (at first, but that would be ideal now that you raise the point ), but rather the black and silver outline be more like the chameleon V2 13 series.

Just a thought!

storyr, how did you get the look of the top bar on the very first post of this thread? Please help. I really love that clean look on black. Thanks

Thanks coz

I installed WBA twice and uninstalled it both times .
I could never get the setting right.

It can be a very finicky program at times. I ran it for a while but ended up uninstalling it. Go to here for more help with Wise Bar:
