I am trying to get a good outline of a picture however it's not removing all of the background. It get the basic shape but not the part inside the picture. There is a hole in the picture I am trying to remove as well as select the image with no background. Any idea what the plus and minus mean on the autoshape?

Skinning the Today Screen or replacing it?

I have spent the last several days searching googling etc.. to no avail It boggles my mind I can not find this I must just be using the wrong keywords in my searches.
I want to skin the today screen or replace it I do not care. I have a PPC 6700 on sprint. I want the background image to be FULL screen either by getting rid of the top and bottom status bars or Skinning them. However it needs to be done.
here is a link so you can get an idea of what I am after LEFT is how my screen looks now RIGHT is how I "desire" my screen to look.

Any suggestions? How would I accomplish this?
Thanks!
This is "one" of the many ways to remove the topbar:

WOW thanks SO much that looks to be exactly what I want. Only problem is it SHOWS the top and bottom removed but gives NO indication at all as to how to actually do it :-( moaning SOO close. I got the theme program. Help file is useless. Website contains no clues no forums etc..
Any Ideas ? I am playing with the program right now but I see NO "obvious" means with which to accomplish this.
AHH now I understand (found another thread) this is in combination with a program VJToggle that gets rid of the start and new bars. Alas I do not want to get rid of them I just want to add transparency or skin them :-(
i found a feature of ultimate launch 1.2, find and install... then find its directory, there are two files in the folder "smart tools" dcinobar.exe (removes bottom soft keys) and toggle.exe (toggles top bar on/off)
a nice thing is the actual buttons still bring up the menus and soft keys still work, the visual element is just removed from the today screen.
i copied dcinobar to the windows directory and placed a shortcut in the start up folder.
i have since uninstalled ultimatelaunch but i have a great today screen without soft keys!
skinning today screen
hello all,
i have a similar problem, i am running a MIps pocketpc2000 device, i run pocket blinds to give the toolbars additional features that the stock toolbars dont give, my question is this on many of the demo pictures of the device the screen shows the top and bottom toolbars with the today screen overlayed with a picture in the background, i have found various today plugin's that allow a picture to be displayed but not behind, it inserts it below under the appointments and tasks, thus showing part of the picture. any suggestions as i assume it is registry related as the image (white background) must get pulled from somewhere??

s - note shapes: Why are somehollow but some "filled - in?"

Just playing around with S-note. The auto shape tool leaves some shapes as outlines but fills othersin. Anyone know the rhyme or reason? I've tried different pensbut get inconsistent results. Circles seem to fill - in more thanother shapes.I've attached an illustration.
I'd like to know too! I saw something in one of the tips about long pressing on an object to bring up options, but doesn't seem to work. Can't find out anywhere how to change whether a shape is filled or just outlined.
I think S-note will be an amazing tool once I learn how to use it, but Samsung doesn't give a lot of help with learning it all...
Mine is doing the same thing now but it wasn't before the update. Bug maybe?
Mine also just seems to be the circles that come out solid......

I have tried to replicate the issue but mine does not do this, UK model and we don't have any upgrades since launch, yet...
I tried to replicate, but none of mine filled in and couldn't find a way to make them fill in.

I'm confused. Which tool are you guys using? Like toenail_flicker, if I use shape match to hand draw a circle (left) it doesn't fill by itself and isn't selectable for me to modify or fill it on my own. If I insert a shape (right) it still doesn't fill by itself but it is selectable and I can fill it if I want to.

I used the shape match tool for all the shapes in the screenshot. I cannot select and edit any of them. Some of the circles filled in as disks, and some remained only as outlines.
As far as I can tell the only shape that will fill itself in is a circle and then only if you are using the 2nd brush from the left. Any circles made with that brush filled in.
I could not get any squares to fill in.
Very odd.

If you pick the eraser tool then long press on any shape then you can change and adjust it. This works when you insert a box or circle but not sure with shape match. Will play around and report back.

[ASK] How to restore my original picture after a filter ?

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I took a picture, and I put a filter (black & white) from the android photo editor (the pencil icon) and I say OK. But I want to have my original picture without the filter, but I don't know how I can do that ! I know that's possible because when I open the photo, it shows me the original (colored) and I then I see the filter appears and my picture becomes black and white.
I already tried to go to the pencil icon, where there are filters, but it offers me filters ON the previous filter (black and white), any options to go back to the original...
Have a good day,
Kevin
Anyone ?
Why ask this here?
This subforum is about Tasker.
Anyway, I don't think what you are asking is possible.

Gallery PHOTO EDITOR Eye Dropper Missing

After switching to the Galaxy S10 phone, I noticed that the gallery photo editor application is robbed of its best features. it's so frustrating when these manufacturers just arbitrarily decide to screw up a good thing.
I constantly and I mean constantly use gallery photo editor and the eyedropper feature to select a custom color and then use the pen to edit out things in images I don't visible. I make them disappear by writing over them in the exact custom colors that already exist in the image. I choose that color with the eyedropper!
Now it seems you either have to overlay a text box over the top which flat out doesn't work because the new text box interface is so bulky and ridiculously lacking because it only has a very very few options. The NEW UNIMPROVED paint feature has ONLY 10 or so canned multicolor designs you can print with... WHO WANTS TO PAINT WITH MULTICOLOR DESIGNS? (KINDA DUMB, but okay)
1. Please don't tell me to go download it because I already look for it and it isn't there.
2. I already tried clicking the upper right corner and clicking advanced and then clicking the pencil to edit and then going through all the options inside that area and it's not there.
3. I've tried using the key combination to create a screenshot and several third-party apps to create screenshots in my efforts to find the eyedropper and it is not there.
4. Please don't tell me to go download Photoshop or some other app I don't want too; I just want my photo editor eye-dropper back!!
I use it constantly and I mean constantly 50 times a day! I take screenshots and edit out ads and things like text and hearts and stars to indicate the item is a favorite etc. using the eyedropper to select the custom background color and then the pen to write over the top of whatever it is you don't want visible makes it blend right into the background... THIS IS SO UNIMAGINABLY BASIC!
I be already spent weeks hunting for where the ability to add an image inside another image and finally was able to find it obscured in stickers area! I've searched and searched every possible conceivable section for any imaginable way they might have hid in the eye dropper and I just can't find it!!
I just want my eye dropper back! It's causing massive problems because I can't do what I need to do 100 times a day!!
Can someone within the limitations outlined above 1 through 4 please PLEASE tell me where the eyedropper went?!?
I'm in the SAAAAMMMME BOAT.
I manage several different social media accounts, and have used this feature FOR YEARS to edit out extraneous things. It was simple and easy.
Weirdly enough, it was there in November, so it kept my main sampled color as an option, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY I can basically continue to do what I do. This has been a nightmare.
If you find anything out, PLEASE let me know.
I'll also do the same.
You mean this?
To do this?
Thanks ?
That option does not show up if you have selected the edit dialogue box to pop up after you screencap, as it used to.
But this is very helpful. THANK YOU!
It's on the color palette now

How do I make my display look like Samsung's ad (photo attached - clock, icons, etc.)

The image is from Samsung's product page for one of their Note 20 Ultra covers, which features a transparent strip that shows the display on the phone itself. How can I get that display configuration on my phone?
I would like to get it set up exactly as in this picture, with the clock sideways on the top and the icons on the side below.
All I could manage was to set the Always On Display Clock Style to show the clock sideways, in one single row (screenshot of my phone below).
Thanks!
Can't see the pictures but if it's the case I'm thinking of, I think you need to case itself to activate it
Thank you for answering! I don't know why I can't get the images to display. I also tried to add one from imgur and it doesn't show either. I'm trying again,
This is called the Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G S-View Flip Cover, Black. https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/m...ra-5g-s-view-flip-cover-black-ef-zn985cbegus/. It has a transparent strip along the side. Samsung says that the "Transparent cover window provides critical information when the cover is closed."
I thought that meant that it exposes the Always On Display (or the Lock Screen?) so you can press the icons through the cover. But maybe you are right. I wish I could figure it out. I don't even know where those icons are from, they are completely different (and much nicer, IMO), than the phone, etc. icon on my phone.
The cover only uses either part of AOD but it does not let you press it. Since it's a view cover meant to show what it supposed to show without you needing to open cover.

Thanks, I'm trying to figure out what AOD options it is using, and also the icon style. The case got pretty bad reviews for quality, but the ad picture intrigued me. I want to get my beautiful phone to show off all its bells and whistles too.
I even called Samsung to ask, and the best I can say is that they were less than helpful.

Well looking at the relevant image ,(you posted)
i would say it's super easy, if you know how to
use a app called KLWP (Play Store)
No root or anything etc
Some of my themes that i either "modded or made"
with KLWP.... below.
So my advise is get an
3rd party app eg KLWP and learn how to use it.?
Really super easy.... believe me and it's also relaxing and fun.
Good luck

I read an article about these covers that wasn't great and might make you want to think twice about doing it, which was because that part of the screen always has pretty much the same things showing all the time, it causes screen burn-in, which is not reversible. Think I'd stick to a tap to show method

Just to add to my previous post.
I did this( snapshot) theme... "loosely" similar to your image.
Took me 15 minutes.
Good luck
I think it detects the cover and switches automatically.My S8 used to do that

Yes, you are quite right.
However, how I understand OP post, is that she read, that the actual Samsung Cover has received bad reviews ?
She is looking for alternatives ways to mimic
her screen/phone, to look like the relevant cover .?
Good luck.
