Official Crossbow theme(s) & sounds wanted

Official Crossbow theme(s) & sounds wanted
Hello,
I'm very interested in the new crossbow .tsk & .wav files, so for a few days I try to de-cook the AKU 3.5 ROMs (esp. provided by Helmi) to extract the file contents, but since now without much success. What I've extracted were some dll's & exe's, but the most interesting part for me wasn't there: The wav's from the event sounds (like Default.wav, Infbeg.wav, ...). I've found crossbow themes here, but the one that looks like the original has a width (landscape) of 1 pixel too less (319px). In another thread I've found the brilliant ringtone and a few system sounds zipped together (file 'other_crossbow_sounds.zip'), but it doesn't contain all event sounds, some wav's are missing. Please, please can anyone post here:
1. The official default .tsk (320x240 + 240x320)
2. The full collection (or the missing ones w.r.t. the existing ones) of event sounds
3. The media player skin (I really like the look derived from Vista)
4. Other goodies
Thanks in advance and I wish all of you a good new year 2007!

I have seen none of the originals camaro - but show us where the tsk is thats one pixel short and i will mod it if you like.
EDIT Did you try this one seems to be the right dimensions ftp://[email protected]/BlueAngel/BA_WM5/Shipped_Extracted_Updates/xplode/cabs/Crossbow.tsk
I have edited it so its stwater only (tdywater.gif not required) so its a smaller tsk file

I have analysed original images and before mentioned tsk colors are not correct. I have compared all other available mock crossbow tsk's and images and i believe the one i have produced is close to the original - thoughts?

Whats that nice clock app, that you got on the todayscreen and what are you using to create the shortcuts?
Oops, found the clock in the Prophet forum. Still interested in the shortcuts though.

Oh, now it's clear: There is a border of 1px in the background-image itself that let me think the today-background was 1px too less. In the portrait mode the top border is OK to distinct between taskbar and today-screen-contents, but in landscape mode the right (and left - hard too see on my ppc) is annoying. In the next days (I don't have experience in compiling a .tsk yet) I'm going to fix this and upload the corrected .tsk.
Thanks for your quick reply!
What about the sounds?

Oh: What I've forgot to mention: I'm an 2003SE-powered device owner, too. So, what's the difference between WM2003SE and WM5 respecting the .tsk's?

Wm5 uses base hue (centered gradient) and color keys for the top and bottom bars, 2003 uses just plain colors commonly in a gradient side to side pattern.
So totally different registry color keys - a 2003 tsk will work in a wm5 device to a fashion but not the other way round. If your interested read my tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=275907

No problem - the top and bottom bars look a touch too dark - i can adjust them if you like

It looks like crossbow mb.tsk is nearly right - just needs some tweaking of the color - at least its not grey lol.
I will tweak color if you tell me which way to go.
EDIT find a new one attached
If this not working i may need to do a cab to do the color change - but not the best solution - or i will install magic button myself and give it a go. - its all good fun hey guys

I appreciate the effort but.... it is still not like i would like it tot be..and a cab solution is not really an option. I'll think i will look for an alternative for Magic button ... can't believe this is the only/best solution for a task manager/closer.
Do you know if there is a matching dialer skin WITH smart dial for the P3300.

[Solved] need to get an alternative tapres.dll to work in WM6

Hi, I need some help here:
I have tried extracting tapres.dll from several WM6 releases.
However, they never seem to be correctly rebuild after dumping the ROMs.
Does anyone know a way to get hold of a Working tapres.dll (from WM6 !!!) ?
I have tried dumping rom's with itsme tools (viewimgfsf, rebuild module etc..), but the resources from the file are VERY strange..
I need this file because I am writing a new program to build dailerskins, But I want to resize the dailerbuttons.
Solved:
Raceit pointed me to the resource file:
tapres.dll.0409.mui
This one needs to be edited!!
Am working on it.
Thanks Raceit !!!
The problem now is in how to make WM6 to use the new tapres2.dll (and MUI file)
edit
Had to write a new dll, but succeeded:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297530

I got this with viewimgfs.exe as well so I'm not sure it will be of any help to you. This is from the Orwells ROM.

Thanks, too bad I got the same results:
There are no dialogs to be edited..
So it's not (yet) possible to have a big button dailer.

I understand this is about the dialer, but for some reason my WM6 dialer wokrs fine, i can change the background and button graphics, however when i am prompted to enter my SIM pin code the number pad has the nasty white background and pink buttons etc... (as if there is no skin).
What .dll controls the dialpad and sim pin pad?! Could i be missing some graphics files?!?

Been a while since I messed with sim-pin pad..
Out of memory I believe that:
The background is created by cmdpad_land.gif cmdpad_port.gif (and square, but this is not used on wizard).
And the buttons are the NmBtnDn_Land.bmp and other nmbtb**etc** bmps.
[ for convenience I attached those ]

thanks sir, i added the graphics to the \windows folder but still no joy (im running on the hermes btw). could my .dll that refers to it have been corrupted?!

It sounds like an image problem. I'd uninstall any dialer skin you have running to get the default stuff back if you can. If that doesn't work try this. It's the same as the-equinoxe posted, but there are a few more files. (No offense the-equinoxe) Just trying to help. This should get all the dialer buttons and images back to normal.

LOL! i REALLY appreciate the help people but still no luck! :s could i have corrupted a .dll or registry value when the ROM was cooked?

Could be, what changes have you performed while cooking the ROM?
Did you edit the grafics for the dailerpad while cooking of afterwards?

I've got same problem. I think that's a sort of TMobile skin and not a file missing problem.

The file you refer to is the smart dialer, and installing it without a skin gives the same result as my sim-pin pad has. but LOL yer it does look like a T-mobile skin. Just install a skin and it will work ok.

Well the first ROM worked fine, the black WM6 dialer and pin-pad looked the same, by copying the files from this post into the windows folder the colours and graphics for both the dialer and pin-pad were changed?!? (as desired)
But after the ROM change the pin-pad is white with no buttons. adding the files again to windows only changes the dialer. :s
AFAIK nothing has been done to the dialer skin, however it may have been changed by accident!? Which is why Im wondering which .dlls and reg values effect these?!

SOLVED
Raceit pointed me to the resource file:
tapres.dll.0409.mui
This one needs to be edited!!
Thanks Raceit !!!

Could you explain how to fix that skinning problem?

I am testing/working on it @ this moment..
All looks promissing but please be patient, don't want to rush out a release.
Only difference with the eten/paulyA skins is you edit another file, some regkeys are differrent, and the smartdail is build into the same resource.
Will build a test-skin (based on the Eten-grey Light I build for WM5), and do some test.
I will also build my findings in the WM6 dailerskin-builder program I am working on.
This one is still in the early development fase, and not all screens have been skinned.
Status:
-editing NEW resource Had to write my own dll, Done
-Dailer portrait Done
-Dailer landscape Done
-Call in progress portrait In progress
-Call in progress landscape In progress
-Button templates In progress
This program will be WM6 WWE QVGA only, but I will probably add some other languages once those are released.
Attached:
-a screenshot from the skinbuilder (although I am thinking to change the layout, because the troubles I have with switching to landscape and control-placement)..
Clicking on the screen will let you select the background picture
You can choose the buttonset (here used "test" ) with the dropdown menu.
You can change the transparancy of the buttonset with the slider.
And build a cab by clicking a button..

Sorry i didn't wanna bother you. I'll wait. Absolutely no probs...

Still having troubles applying the new tapres.dll
Replacing the XIP based tapres.dll crashes the dailer..
Then I tried to use the tapres.dll (plus MUI) as skin
So I renamed the dll and Mui to tapres2
and edited the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"IcoFil"="tapres2.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"ext"="tapres2.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]
"RESDLL"="tapres2.dll"
To no avail, still the old tapres.dll takes over
What am I missing??
EDIT:
OK I had to build a new dll.
Started from scratch, but now I have Big Buttons and Smartdailing Working
New thread is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297530

Classic Reading.
I think MrVanx would also like to see this one back someday.
I even remember myself finding out that there needed to be a phcanXXXETC.dll and a specific registry key to get a skinned unluck screen.
I'm closing the thread, but will never remove this.

*Updated 11/13/07 10:11 PM* BETA TESTERS NEEDED! Official 318 WM6

This Kitchen has built in AT&T customize on first install and on HR, if you don't need it just remove the OEMOPERATORS FOLDER from the OEM Folder.
This build contains SYS and ROM in "Part #1" and OEM packages in "Part #2"
This Kitchen is so complete I had to break into 2 parts. Download and extract both parts and put all files and folders into one directory to use.
I am not responsible if you don't know what you are doing and brick your phone, but in the spirit of XDA-Developers I am sure someone here willing to help!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Latest SYS and ROM (part1) Ver8.1.0
Latest OEM Packages (part2) Ver8.1.0
Version Information:
ALL "call home" issues have been castrated! No more Customer feedback.
SDHS Memory should be full supported now! Seems to have always been present in the Official MS Wizard ROM.
All Phone issues resolved! Use the proper radio for your carrier and phone.
Wifi Issues resolved! Automatically connect to preferred networks.
Connect to Internet Via Active Sync.
For Clarification:
1) This is the original InGeNeTiCs' ROM all I did in this Version is strip out the "call home" stuff, added a few dlls that were missing but were needed for some of the HTC/touch apps (these files can be found in sys/missing files).
2) There are two OEMOPERATORS folders, one in OEM and one in SYS the one in OEM is one I put there as a example of how you can add your own cab files for settings, splash screen or whatever it is you need simply edit the config.txt file and put whatever files in the files you need. *I am not going to to into great detail how to do this all it takes is a little common since. You can delete mine if you like.
3) There are no hidden, super secret, xda-elite only, make my Wizard fly, bull**** tweaks included. just a clean, won't leave a bad taste in your mouth unless you burn it, Kitchen.
4) My only reason for creating this kitchen is to prove that the "InGeNeTiCs'- Official Microsoft-Made Specifically for the Wizard-Drivers and all ROM" is as solid and stable as any other ROM or kitchen out there if done right. Other than all I did is create and add a lot of OEM packages so you could have choices in life.
The base is like Coca-Cola "Original".
Everything works as it should the only limitations are M$ related!
This has been a fun ride but the ride seems to have come to an end.
This release is so stable that I can not bear to call it a beta anymore.
A HUGE THANK YOU to all that have contributed to this project. In the end I'm sure we all wanted WM6 but we wanted a stable version that didn't crash, lock up, and just plain ol' worked!
Credits to the ones that made the tools to make this possible: faria, anichillus, bepe and mattk_r for asking me to take the plunge.
The testers, who without their reports this would not have been possible:
Russ741, calouro, masr1979, shadezero, monkey_knight, nothin, epimazzo, afoldats, Tony Simmonds, charly_mx, Cing 8125, jorge_culv, 13rick, fix_it_2000, RevAtB, amsatnetg, hiazle, ANTC, pencilcase, xeno1, 4irm and all the others.

hi
can i bea beta tester can you send me the liknk to download

First Thoughts.....
This ROM looks to be more stable than the last one, and also I see that the reboot slowdown issue is non-existent.(It would slow down horribly on the 3rd-or-so reboot/SR) Overall, faster.
HTC AudioManager + Recorder are NOT working, but maybe that's just a package issue (I used one of my packages I had lying around). Pretty much that's it.
Wi-Fi is OK, nothing major. No phone issues as of yet.
I did not test the Home Plugin because I used my 6-tab plug. That works quite well.App Launching is a little bit faster, or maybe that would just be me
Word completion works,KB is fine (tested in Notes)
I would give it a 9.5/10 (only because of no Touch camera ,otherwise, it rocks!)

Thanks for your input!

Do you know of a working 4. camera package or one in a pre-built Wizard ROM?
Do you have a Home Plugin OEM to incorporated?

This works with the included *cities.xml file. The PNGs are compressed to increase speed. Works fine. It's in color.
Got AM working (my mistake, used a wrong package) but VoiceRec is still offline. Not that I use it all that much.
I think I have a bug : you need to have WMP installed to get AM working.
EDIT: New package with "Pro" icons added.

Remove clock and put battery indicator on top instead (if you press & hold it will bring up power/battery tab).
Add day and date to touch home plug-in you can change it to display as you like:
dddd will give you day of week as a word as in "Thursday", dd will give you date style (numeric day of the month) as in "30" without quotes of course.
The same is true for month mmmm and year yyyy so experiment!

HTC WMP today plug in
I added a bunch of packages to the kitchen and have de-bugged most of them, this one I can't find. During the OS Build the process errors out at "OEM\HTC WMP Today Plug-in" with a dialog that says "The file 'temp\dump\WmpPluginToday.dll' already exists. Know I know this is telling me that a previous package has used this dll flile, what I can't find is which one it is!
Any input greatly appriciated.

Thanks Merlin.. I do have your 6-Tab in the OEM and checked off. I will put a note in the Options.xml so I wont forget.
I am having the same issue with 'OEM\HTC X Button 1.5 mattk" the dialog says "...TaskManager.cpl already exists". I have X Button 1, X button 1.5 mattk and X button 1.5 whiterat in the OEM only whiterat's is selected though.
Thanks again

HTC X-Button 1.5 offers nothing more over 1.0. 1.0 works fine with this ROM ver 5.0 (I use it)
But, if you really want it ,try mattk's package.

Ok, I already took both the 1.5 ver out of OEM. Now its complaining about sys/touchflo.dll.
edit; NOob error... left both touchflo and non-touchflo enabled in the build... fixed.
Have you built with the NON-TouchFlo dll selected?

NON-touch

That's what's in my current build. Nothing major to report of.

1st flash test report
Ok,
So I got the build to run with Merlin's help (thank you Sir). Flashed back to T-Mobile 2.26, up to IPL/SPL 3.08 and GSM 2.69.11 then the kitchen build.
First the good news:
1. For the first time in a dozen or so ROMs I have flashed Voice Command workes flawlessly! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!
2. Basic functions work good, no glaring errors.
3. As theloon noted, the backlight controls will not lock the wizard.
The bad news:
1. If I attempt to launch any CAB file (including the 2.69 radio fix) I get a message saying "CAB failed to load"
2. see #3 above, it doesnt lock the wizard, it however will not open backlight control either. recommend taking this out of the launcher and just leave it in the settings page.
3. HTC Audio manager, if I attempt to open any audio file I immediatly get a message saying "critically low on system memory..." WMP still works fine.
4. The dastardly weather application doenst like the XML file i built for it. I wish there was a way to test that without building. (see questions below)
5. I used merlin's 6 button HTC home plug in, looks very nice BTW, couldnt do much testing on it since my contacts DB is at work. My only negative on this one, the musical note icon (far right) is very hard to see. I dont know who did the icon art but perhaps we could find a better icon?
6. I tried loading the AT&T extended ROM as part of this build, bad idea. The flash gets to 5% and crashes... took it out, flashes fine.
Questions:
1. Is there a way to test the weather XML file without building it into the ROM? IE: If i build the the ROM with the weather XML file included in the build I can only edit it. I cant delete, replace etc. So I was thinking that if I took it out of the build and put the file in after, maybe I could speed up testing.
2. Several of the packages dont seem to have any output, IE: the WMP home plug in, I dont see anything on the home screen that relates to WMP?
So there it is, I have to re-flash to a fully working ROM before I go to work tomorrow. I will be on line all day (from my office) so post away..
thanks Loon for letting me test this, great fun!

LOL? I think not dear Senior Member... I have tried every possible way to delete that file, stop the plug included. The file properties say "included in ROM" and will not allow changes to file prop. Thats why I asked about building without it, so the file properties would allow changes.

What I can deduce from your observations all/most of your "hanging" problems seem to stem from the final size when you build your ROM.
I have experienced this myself, the max size for a wizard rom is around 56 MB for the ROM, but that does not include Boot loaders, Radio and Extended ROM.
In my case my phone is locked so the "customize" just uses storage/program space and does some reg tweaks.
If you want more space in your build you can use the compression tools located elsewhere in this forum.
As for the Home Plug weather XML make sure it's attributes are not set to "read only" and you should be able to exchange them at will and SR to test there usability.
My HTC Audio Manager works flawlessly not sure what you did! be careful using other OEM packages, the ones I included in this beta were designed and tested to work with this beta.
FYI HTC Audio Manager was built using Windows Media SDK so it uses components of WMP (dlls and such), I will probably move those components to different directories.
Backlight is a matter of a redirect/link.
Feel free to fix any/all issues and post for everyone to test!!!

TouchFLO 2d for VGA Devices

Portover try of the TouchFLO 2d QVGA build to VGA devices with a wholly redrawn image set and some usefull aditions.
Credits
All credits go to the TouchFlo2d developers, this is only a port of it so please express your gratitude to them.
-------------------------
TouchFlo2D VGA
[2008-10-06] - Ver 0.1.3
Fixes:
- People contacts are shown and working correctly. THANKS LePocketPc!
- Favorite applications, map locations, internet bookmarks also fixed with the LePocketPc's modification so only thing to fix are the thumbnails in the Photo tab.
Updates:
- All images (except photo frames) have been redrawn
[2008-10-02] - Ver 0.1.2
Updates:
- Just made it compatible with latest Manila2d_1.00_1819.2926.CAB
[2008-10-02] - Ver 0.1.1
Images:
- Home, Messages, Email, Internet, Photos (except frames), Music, Weather (only the little arrows), Map, Settings, Programs have all new images and I'm working on the others too but I have to redraw everything as the exported images from the Diamond phone are very bad
- Clock replaced wiht big digital one as the analog one can't be enlarged as it seems.
[2008-09-24] - Ver 0.1
Done:
- All images have been resized
- HTCHomeSettings.xml has been rewritten so almost every tab works as it should
-------------------------
Not Working yet
- Photos & Videos, unfortunately it seems the area to fill out with the image can't be resized from the xml file so another change may be needed in the .exe file
IMPORTANT: please note this is only the main TouchFlo2d program, I didn't look in the other programs (like youtube) and addons that are available for the TouchFlo2d QVGA version, and won't do till first this part of the project is done.
-------------------------
Instalations / Download
To install please follow the steps found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173
and after you have everything up and running (even in the little left corner of your screen but working) then go to "Start->Settings->Today->Items" and uncheck "TouchFlo" press OK then download this zip file and extract the content to \Windows\ directory on your device.
TouchFlo2D VGA - Ver. 0.1.3
http://rapidshare.com/files/151382270/TouchFlo2dVGA-0.1.3.zip.html
Then go back to "Start->Settings->Today->Items" and check "TouchFlo" again press ok and the full resolution TouchFlo should appear.
IMPORTANT: It seems with the latest Manila2d release (1.00...) the files are installed in read only state so you won't be able to overwrite the files unless you remove the Read only state from the files which are all files in \Windows directory starting with HH_..... and HTCHomeSettings.xml and then all files in \Windows\ManilaGFX
-------------------------
Additions to TouchFlo2D VGA
[2008-10-03] - Ver 0.1
Additions:
- Added new images for internet tab links (Youtube, Google, Shoutcast, Ebay, Flickr, Rss)
- Added 6 links to the Internet tab in the following order: Google, YouTube (still to youtube.exe), Shoutcast, Flickr, RSS (google reader/i), eBay
-------------------------
Instalations / Download
Just download the cab file below and install on your device.
TouchFlo2d VGA Additions - Ver. 0.1
http://rapidshare.com/files/150639012/TouchFlo2dVGA_Additions-0.1.CAB.html
IMPORTANT: please turn of TouchFLO at the today items before installing this addon.
-------------------------
Screenshots below:

I'd really like this, but I'll wait for the updated images images, however I'm not so sure if touchflo2d can be uninstalled so the only way to take it off is to a hard reset. but waiting on your update would give it a go and help out as much as i can.

well well... great job buddy... I've found some bugs.
1.Lunch Browser picture doesnt show (The globe one)
2.And when I go to music tab the music picture which is a note crashes and half down looks corrupted
3.Album tab doesnt show the pictures fully and shows them like QVGA.
BTW tnx for great job... if u want i can make a cab for this so were gonna have a real XDA-Team M2D VGA...
Cheers. Hirad

sorry! number 1 and 3 where mentioned.. sorry man

Thanks for testing, point 1 and 2 are known as it is written in the 'Not working' list in the first post, but regarding the music tab I don't think it has something to do with the VGA changes but till someone cant test it on a QVGA device with all the same files/addons installed I cant say for sure but yes, I noticed the problem too but then launched the player separately and then everything worked just fine so thats why I think it may be a TouchFlo 2d bug and not a theming one.
Oooo, almost forgot, regarding the cab, I think there is no need for it for now but when this gets really done with every real pictures and all bugs fixed it will be a good idea.

tnx for quick reply and responses to the probs
cheers. Hirad

I've found another prob... When u want to slide the pictures in album tab u cant slide in the whole screen... it only works in the left corner of screen (The place when u qvga version appears)

It can be uninstalled. Use Memmaid or SKTools. This has been mentioned quite a few times.

Mods, can we make it sticky...
Whew...
'been waiting for this thread. Too many skins for Manila 2D QVGA...
Mods, can we make it sticky...

Gonna try it on a WVGA-device now..

Another prob.. some programs icons are hidden ehind the bottom bar and u have to slide to see them...
tnx for the great job and "Is there anything i can do?"
Cheers. Hirad

[Skin] HTC HD2 MyMoblier Skin

I Decided I would create a HTC HD2 Skin for MyMobiler and decided I would share my creation with you all.
Features:
HD2 Buttons work (except the Start button)
Works for All WVGA Devices
Download Attached Below
To Install:
Extract the HD2 Folder to MyMobiler Directory
Edit SkinFile=defaultskin.xml to SkinFile=.\HD2\skin.xml in MyMobiler.ini
Restart MyMobiler
Please feel free to comment on the skin and any suggestions will be concidered
Version History:
v0.1 - Initial Release
Known Bugs:
Start Key doesn't work on the Skin - Haven't discovered the command to get that working
No Landscape Support
Note: The Skin is quite large so 50% Zoom may be required for small screens.
EDIT: Removed the sample PNG from zip file and reduce file size considerably.

very nice

pretty cool just tested and it works
only "problem" i detected is that the home button doesnt work on other manilla tabs, but it works for example on the main menu
thkx

Yeah I noticed that too - not quite sure how to fix it tho

Good job!

First of all, good job.
There seems to be a problem with transparency in the corners of the skin not working in 50% zoom mode, however.
If you can fix this small problem, it would be cool. I never use My Mobiler in 100% zoom mode, since it takes up pretty much 1/3 of my screen space

Yeah - I think this is a MyMobiler Issue rather than my skin - but I'll see if I can create a 50% zoom version

I can't geht this work
The MyMobiler app is installed at C:\Programm Files\My Mobile\My Mobiler
so I edited the MyMobiler.ini and set SkinFile=.\HD2\skin.xml
But if I start MyMobiler nothing happen
Anybody can help me to solve that problem?

sorry for posting twice
not my mistake

A Couple of things:
you are extracting the folder to your My Mobiler Folder (there should be a folder new called HD2 in your My Mobiler Folder)
You have exited FULLY out of MyMobiler (not just close the window but exited from the system tray)
You have chosen Skin View in the MyMobiler Window (either Click the brush on the toolbar of the standard view or Goto View -> Show Skin
If you get any error messages saying cannot load skin - you're configuration in MyMobiler.ini is wrong (Make sure there is only one entry for SkinFile)
Hope that helps - please reply if you're still having problems

I extracted the folder to the MyMobiler Folder.
After that I edited the MyMobiler.ini
Now it looks like in this piece of text
Code:
# ****************************************************************
# Mobiler Skin (skin file path)
#
# SkinFile=.\HD2\skin.xml
#
****************************************************************
Furrhter I fully exited MyMobiler over the tray icon.
At last i found the option with the brush but if I press this icon the new windows looks like this

further down there is a line that says SkinFile change that one!
Any line that starts with a # is a comment

You've edited the one in the comments (# at the beginning denotes a comment) - make sure there isn't another SkinFile= Line below that and remove the #

ah okey
i didnt see the same line under the comment.
thanks for help now it works great and it is definitly better than the stadard skin

Hi... Nice idea to have done this. However, i get same error as post #11 and its screenshot. I tried everything but nothing works
It just wont work in the "Show skin" mode as it should.
Also... is it possible to get one for Topaz? Would really appreciate if someone can make it. Thanks...
cheers...

Good job! Thanks...

I got the same as your screenshot; but then re-read the instructions and fully exited from mymobiler before restarting it. All then worked.
Topaz = a different forum.

transparecy issue
firstly - good job !
i also get the transparecy problem in any zoom other than 100%
any fix for this ?
no one i think is using 100% as this will take most of the screen...
50% i think will do it for most of us
thanks again and well done,

Nice, working good on the new version of MyMobiler v1.25

! Really Nice !
