REQ: Screenshot of wallpaper control

23 replies · 6,127 views · Started 06 October 2001

Hi this is your webmaster speaking... For a custimisation article that I am writing would some kind person please take a screenshot or two of the display control app in the control panel... with special notice towards changing wallpapers and CBA texture.

Also if anyone has installed any of Loonys custom textures a shot of that would be nice.

and want you get in return is... a credit in the article if you want it!

Also aside from texture bars, wallpapers and icons would anyone like to suggest any other customisation features (e.g. operator logos - dont know how to do this).

Thanks
Rafe

*TIP* To take a screenshot press Ctrl+Shift+Chr+S. You can then save it as a .mbm. You can use Imaging app to change it to .jpg.

Hey boss,

Well it is no problem for to take the screenshots but it will be without any special themes installed User posted image Let me know what pics you exactly need User posted image

Guys Guys User posted image
Im on it.(with joy)..Just takes a little while to do all the converting and rebooting.
But i�ll throw them in later this evening. User posted image

The Boss?! LOL.. hmmm.

Thanks Loony. Only if you got some free time of course.

Would someone like to tell me where they keep there extra ringtones and write a quick bit about setting them up to be used via profiles? Screenshot of profile? Probably not necessary.. All this is for a customisation article which will go up soon along with a load of new wallpapers etc.
Rafe

Hmm..Im there Jan User posted image..

THE BOSS...LOL..Great one.
Ok Rafe...This all for you to use..(If you want to that is)

In order to get the following to work these easy steps are kinda required.
First off is is ofcourse the need of copying the display.mbm supplied in the themepack zip file to the Csystemdata Directory on the 9210.As well as copying the 4 Wallpapers to ones normal wallpaper directory.
(((Restoring the original display.mbm can be done either by making a backup to start with,witch is the smart thing to do User posted image.Or install the All_Nokia_9210_data.sis again))).
That done..It�s all set.

Ok...........The Screenshots..

<UL>
<LI>First is the Extras Button...Here the control panel is the interesting part.

<LI>In the Control panel we find the Display Settings

<LI>In the Display settings we want to look at the second menu called colours...Here we select our crispy texture for the right menu and the matching colour scheme
User posted image
<LI>After a gentle reboot we are throw back to our trusty desks..Now we want a wall paper that matches the Right Menu.Again we look in the settings
User posted image
<LI>And looking for the matching wallpaper...

Loony that is great. Thanks a ton... Just had a look at your third skin pack. Your best on yet in my opinions (could the subject be biasing me - nah!).

Cheers
Rafe

Loony you are awesome!

I have to rip of my shortcuts from my desk because that was soo coool allabouter6 wallpaper User posted image

Thanks

Sorry Rafe, i use finnish language... (Like to help...)<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by JeP on 2001-10-08 1700 ]</font>

Hi folks,

what do you think about this

Just load "Display.rsc" from the 9210 to the pc, take a hex-editor and change the names from "Wheels", "Sand", "Water" and "Leaves" to "Pic1", "Pic2", "Pic3" and "Pic4", than move/copy the modified "Display.rsc" back to the communicator.

It's much better to see "Pic1" than "Wheels" when you've changed the four pics...

Greeting Hartmut

<B>Now Thank you</B>

Now the themes can look like this in the display settings..
User posted image
Oh boy...
I began making the themes in colour codes..Red..Green..Grey..Blue..AND some "real" themes..But this is where you guys come in.
I�ll need some input on what the heck <B>YOU</B> want to as wallpapers, textures and icons on your 9210..And <B>NO PORN</B> please..
I could throw out a zillion themes, but I think it would be cooler if they where "personal" to you guys. User posted image
So ..Well..Thats it.
Tomorrow i�ll unleash the six that are remade with custom display settings.
And when I say 6 it actually means 6 packs * 4 themes each = 24 themes.
And Yes..A all out "All about ER6" theme pack will also be there User posted image

Shouts to Jan User posted image

Frank

Anychance of some screenshots of your skins?

Do you object to me putting them in the downloads area of this website (once I get organised)...

Rafe

I love these new backdrops, however many of them are a little dark and therefore the text is hard to read. Can i cahnge the colour of the side menu text?

Nope...Sorry..

You have to brighten the .BMP file you wish to use before you convert it to .MBM
So make sure that the files you use are bright enough.
