Anyone know the aspect ratio of the background resolution for Handcent so I won't have to crop images.
Background resolution is
960*800

you dont understand what hes asking....and how do you know what his resolution is, you have no idea what phone he has??
------------------------
OP is your phone rooted? if so, you can download an app caleld "ninjamorph", free from market, to find out what the pixel size of the top and bottom bars are in handcent and adjust your background size according to that:
Phone's screen resolution - (size of handcent top bar + bottom bar) = correct background resolution
if you are WICKED confused i can do it for you....but you should do it yourself if you can...you can learn a lot using ninjamorph
Hi,
I am trying to customize my launcher icons for the eee pad transformer tablet. I've tried Desktop VisualizeR and Bettercut, both resize the icons smaller than stock launcher icons. I'm using 512x512 and 256x256 png files from DeviantArt. I can't find a setting in either app to configure the size of the resulting icon.
I thought I'd try resizing the images to the "native" format to see if that would help.
After reading these pages:
developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_launcher.html
developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
I have come to realize that the current Honeycomb tablets (or at least eee pad) are:
screen size: xlarge
density: mdpi
According to these docs mdpi is 48x48 and hdpi is 72x72. So I tried resizing the images to 48x48 and also tried 72x72 pixels, neither of which solved the problem.
48x48, looks like what DVR and Bettercut are resizing them to, so they seems to be following the rules.
They say px (pixel) for the unit, but do they mean dp (density-independent pixel)?
I don't get it. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks
Icons that appear in the launcher typically display at 72x72 pixels. Try resizing them to 72x72 before loading them with DTV or BetterCut. If neither app is displaying the icons at the right size, then it is a problem with the app that will need to be resolved by the developer.
Thanks, yes you are right. I did some calculations based on the 1280x800 resolution spec and the actual physical dimensions of the screen and icons and came up with this:
The dpi is actually 150, but that is close enough to 160 that you can assume that px = dp
The width of the GMail launcher icon is 61px which makes in the correct recommended size for a full 72px "asset".
I guess I need to take it up with the developers but I find it strange that this device is categorized as mdpi in the android Best Practices page, and that the recommended launcher icon size for mdpi is 48px.
Ok, I don't know why it took me this long to come to this epiphany but, call me an idiot, but the issue here is that the screen size should be the deciding factor for icon size not dpi. dpi is, essentially, irrelevant in so much as the limitation of dpi on a particular device is it's problem, not android's. So... is this a "bug" in android's recommendations in the Best Practices page? Icon size should be based on screen size not dpi.
I think I need to clarify, icon size should be based on screen size and defined in terms of device-independent pixels. Or I may be wrong, my head is spinning right now.
I am rather furstrated with the font size for this screen. i have it set to small and things are rather large as if the font is set to normal.
this phone has high resolution and a good ppi so it should be no problem shrinking things on the screen.
is there a utility or program that can do this? being this a miui based rom it'd be a disaster tinkering with it.
Curious to see what people prefer for display settings and customization.
I set my display to.:
Font size: Large
Display size: small
Smallest width is set to 423dp
I also was messing around with font packs and really liked roboto light and noto sans.
I find that apps like Chrome seem to display the layout better with these settings,.
What do you set yours to and do you have any tips for better reading, layout, fonts or whatever?
Cheers!
I will keep it in mind
I known can change the font size in settings, but something is wrong. Smallest width in developer settings is 360, no matter what, it always goes back to that. Medium size looks too big. Small font size, do change the size, but the rest stays big.
Any idea to fix this? 9 eu c62.
