Hi all,
I have HTC p3300
and I have installed Artemis Touch 3.01 Everything works great.
The only problem I have is when I go and try to change the Wallpaper to my jpg images that i have on my SD.
The images become 50 white like there would be a white layer on top of them with 50% opacity Is this normal? is there a setting somewhere that makes the images look normal when they become walpapers?
Please help.
Thanks.
open the file explorer, and navigate to the directory where the picture is, and hold n click on the picture for the menu and click set as background picture or whatever is correct option.
it'll show the picture and an opacity meter, set to 0
when i hold the picture it gives me the option to set it as todays background, and than when i choose it, the options dissapear without any opacity options. and than the background is set to that image.
Just use the Pictures & Videos app to select the pic.
Despite original Rom and full "HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml" file exists in HTC Jade, SELECT CITY LIST, after Add location in Manila 2D weather tab menu, does not appear and keyboard not typing any letter..
Problem is not in Windows itself but only in Manila 2D..
Anyone knows how to deal with it?/
Where do add-on apps I install store there shortcut pictures? I have one app who's quicklink picture looks way old and out of place, but I can't seem to find the picture on my phone so I can change it and make it look more modern.
Anyone know?
well, to answer you question, i don't know where they are stored.
but to change them, i use Change Start Menu Icon. works perfectly and does the grunt work for ya.
cheers.
I found the problem. The app is hard coded the start menu icon into it's code somewhere (like exe files on your pc sometimes do).
Anyway, I found where programs point to their start menu icons in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ProgramName.lnk
This app didn't have a Icon entry like some of the others, so I added one and pointed it to a Icon.png file I had made for it and placed in the same directory the program was installed in.
Powered off the phone and then back on and it's using the new icon.
The only problem I'm having now is making a png file with transparency that works as a start menu icon in sense quicklinks. The icon has it's transparency in the windows start menu and when I click to add a quicklink in the program list. But once added to the homepage quicklinks, the transparency section is visible. I don't understand it. viewing it in the HTC's picture viewer also correctly handles the transparent part.
Anyone have any ideas? Here's three screens showing what I mean. The WM screen, the add-program-to-quicklinks screen and the Sense home screen (running CHT 1.7.1):
BTW, here's the icon image if anyone want to take a look.

delete finch.png file: Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher\finch.png
Change icon. Add Quicklink!! OK?
There's no finch.png in that directory. There is a program launch file "FinchSync_SP.bmg" in that directory.
The actual program and icon file are stored on my storage card at
\Storage Card\Program Files\FinchSyncSP
album.cache
finch.png
finchconfig.txt
FinchSync_Core.dll
FinchSync_SP.exe
InTheHand.Interop.dll
InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.dll
syncinfo.txt
The default install of FinchSync has the program's icon hard coded, not a separate icon (png) file. If I delete the finch.png file, after a power cycle it goes back to using the default hard coded icon. Put the icon back and it does as I posted above, showing transparency everywhere except as a Quicklink. I've tried renaming the filename and then changing the reg entry outlined above to the new name and same thing.
FinchSynch is an older WM app, but I use it because I can sync my contacts and calendar with Mozilla Thunderbird, Calendar and Address book. I do not have or use Outlook to sync too, so I use FinchSync for this.
I found it. It's not a png file from that directory, but the bmg file.
So it was Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher\finch.bmg
Once I deleted that, it picked up the new icon with transparency.

Ok!! del *.bmg!! Sorry!!
I thought I had posted the screen, but here it is with transparency. Thanks again.
Is it possible to have a slideshow in the background of the homescreen or as screensaver?

Auto changing wallpaper
I've seen some software on the XDA forum that auto changes your background images by selecting the folder you assign containing all the images you wish to use.
Haven't used it personally, but seemed like a good idea as most of us are used to doing this same thing on our desktop OS's. Would be nice to see this feature built into CHT, as it seems such an issue having the correct size now and assigned image for all tabs and lock screen etc
[^_^]
thanks for the reply fazz, so there is software that is able to do that. I use SPB shell atm and I can set one picture, but I'ld rather have a slideshow in a box on which you can edit the size
any news regarding this item?
****BUMP***
Hello everyone.
Having some trouble with task manager shortcut on my hd2. I want shortcut on todays screen at quick links, but I can get this on, which is placed in settings/system (top left corner in picture).
If I copy taskmgr.lnk from /windows to /windows/start menu/ I get the middle one in picture and if I copy and create shortcut from /windows/taskmgr.exe, then I get the right icon which is really ugly.
I was searching on web about *.lnk files and I find out that this is just a text file. The middle icons content is "26#:MSTASKMGR?:taskmgrapp" in the right ones "22#"\Windows\Taskmgr.exe"".
So, I want to create new *.lnk file for task manager which will contain desired icon and I wonder what should be written in lnk file.
