Chrome Aqua v1.0
|
Not uploaded a homescreen in a while…. and this is the reason why. I’m loving this skin to be honest and hope you do to (Especially you Dualband  )Download and extract as normal but rather than coying an image and an XML… copy the folder and the XML. Note/ There are 2 XMLs… one for WM5 and one for WM2003. Please use specified XMLs or it wont work tidy Also note there are shortcuts to TCPMP and SmartExplorer… if you havnt got these freewares, I strongly suggest you do NOW! If you do have them and the links aren’t working, then open the XML and change the shortcut from Storage Card to Storage and all should be fine  Please use the comments function for problems/bugs/praise etc. Plugins Needed:  |

WOW!!! This is AWESOME!
Using the WM5 XML on Orange C600.
Slight issue - I don’t show any text for MMS. SMS & emails show “0″ when none & proper numbers when messages received, but MMS “box” remains resolutely blank at all times… It’s a very slight problem, as I never get any MMS messages, just want it to show the “0″ so it looks right!
Just as an aside, in case anyone’s having problems, there’s a missing “w411y - Chrome Aqua WM5″ line, which would stop the Homescreen showing in the list of homescreens in Settings…
Thanks,
AJ.

Oops! Last Line should say:
…there’s a missing ‘w411y - Chrome Aqua WM5′ line…

OK, I give up!!!
There’s a missing LESS THAN SIGN in the TITLE clause of the WM5 XML!!!
AARRGGHH!!

Great looking screen m8, now when can we expect a matching XBar3 skin:)?
March 3, 2006 @ 4:59 pmw411y said:
Never used xbar personally but I guess its time I look into it
March 3, 2006 @ 6:18 pmw411y said:
Well its updated…. fingers crossed it works (Sorry I dont have a WM5 device to tesy on

nice work againe w4lly top homscreen
March 3, 2006 @ 7:29 pmJamma said:
Hiya w411y, thought’d I’d post on here as well - it really is a nice screen I think you should do more involved and functional ones like this, I personally much prefer them. Anyways v good work!
March 3, 2006 @ 7:34 pmw411y said:
Cheers Darkmaster.
March 3, 2006 @ 8:07 pmThanks James… yeh Im starting to prefer this type of screen actually. Whenever I see a nice image I’ll make a simple homescreen out of it but occasionaly make one of these
Dualband said:
W411y,
Doesn’t matter where you put it
Someplace near the analog Clock.
What is the Orange Plugin???
March 3, 2006 @ 8:16 pmw411y said:
Ill make the clock smaller so I can replace the word ‘Messaging’ with the battery meter. If I get time I’ll do it tonight… if not tommorrow
March 3, 2006 @ 8:45 pmThe Orange plugin comes with Orange phones. Its great to use in complex homescreens such as this as it can display all standard plugins in one row… for an example see my Vista screen (4 icons up the top can scroll through left and right)
Kris said:
I’ve also got an issue with the MMS counter. It’s blank!
Also, in the launcher area, all of my icons (except for refresh) are red x’s… though when selected the proper program is launched.
March 4, 2006 @ 7:22 pmw411y said:
Hey Kris
March 4, 2006 @ 8:28 pmIm looking into the MMS counter issues. I guess its the same with all my screens. When Ive resolved the issue I’ll update the popular screens and future homescreens will include an XML for WM5 and one for WM2003. Thanks for pointing out.
About the X’s…. are you copying the folder over and not seperate photos?
When scrolling over TCPMP and Smart Explorer do the images change?
Kris said:
This is a fantastic home screen. The layout and color scheme rocks. I fixed the problems with the red x’s and other related issues… lets call it a ‘noob’ error
got a request… would it be possible to put the carrier id where the date is, and put the date where it says ‘messaging’ (remove the ‘messaging’ tag completely)? i’ve yet to find a home screen for WM5 that showed the MMS count.
Thank you!
March 4, 2006 @ 9:07 pmw411y said:
Yeh Kris I’ll get that done tomorrow for yah… yours too Dualband.
March 4, 2006 @ 9:59 pmIt will be a while for v2.0 … I want to include all screens skinned and I’m going to have to come up with a solution so that it works on all devices(Orange/Non-Orange/WM5/WM2003)
w411y said:
Dualband…. are you using WM5 or WM2003
March 5, 2006 @ 12:30 pmw411y said:
Kris…. Sadly mate I cant do what youre asking. RJ Time will not show the carrier. What I can do is write the carrier on the background image and move the date to where ‘messaging’ is. Who is your carrier?
March 5, 2006 @ 12:53 pmKris said:
I’m with Cingular (former AT&T Wireless). My carrier name changes depending on what network I am on. I travel quite often so it changes frequently.
It’s no problem. I can live with out the carrier ID.

bassplayer4x4 said:
I really like this theme, may I ask how to change the shortcuts the bottom if I don’t want to use the shortcuts you have at the bottom.
March 17, 2006 @ 9:51 pmbassplayer4x4 said:
or can you tell me where to find out more about those freewares?
March 17, 2006 @ 9:53 pmw411y said:
open up the XML file in Notepad and scroll to the bottom… you’ll notice a title of under that you’ll see shortcut=”file path”. Just change that to what you want

hy ppl…
I really like this homescreen… but i have one question that is somehow related to the facade plugin: if i download and instal the trial version of the plugin, after the plugin expires (it does expire after some time, right?) will i still be able to use this homescreen at its “full capacity”?
Many thanks and one againg a really gr8 homescreen!
March 23, 2006 @ 7:11 amw411y said:
Afriad the trial does run out mate (12 days)
March 23, 2006 @ 3:53 pmSPPassion said:
I am still showing MMS=0. I really don’t get any MMS, how can I permanantly set it to 0 witht same same color/font used for txt/email messages? I know this is more for cosmetics than anything else but it bothers me to see nothing in MMS bloc(:
March 24, 2006 @ 3:26 pmCobrra said:
I love this screen saver. I edited it a little though to make it work better with the Cingular 2125. I changed the launcher so it shows the right icons for the progs I have setuop, and I swiped a color scheme from another theme, as I didn’t like the aqua, but I love the looks of this theme.
One thing I noticed is that it shows the number of e-mails, and text messages, but not the voice-mails. (well, no zero shows up there, so I am assuming that it won’t work right.)
I would love a battery bar too. I don’t suppose I could get that version too, could I?
March 26, 2006 @ 8:53 pmCobrra said:
One thing I forgot to mention, My phone refuses to see the WM5 version so I editied the paths in the regular version to make it work. Why would the phone act like it’s not there, when I go to select themes?

Very nice homescreen. Can someone walk me through changing the icons and programs under the “launcher” tab? I want to customize it to the ones that I use.

April 8, 2006 @ 1:40 pmI have to try well to modify the hme but I gave up .it is a pity .can you say to me for which mobile this skin was made in the beginning ?thank you for your answer and your skins are superb .I was authorized to put in telechargement on my site the version which I modified for my c600 here www.smartfaqfrance.com with a bond on your site. thank you and good continuation
Wally said:
It was made on a C550 but should work fine on a C600 if you use the WM5 XML. It wont work on a C500 becuase the screen resolution is too small.

I have the following problems on my 8310:
1. MMS counter not showing
2. Icons in launcher shows only red x’s
3. The bottom launcher (profile, TCMP, Smartexplorer) only shows a marker for Profile.
Someone solved this yet?
April 23, 2006 @ 2:31 pmw411y said:
If you had read through the instructiions and the posts in here you would know the answers:
1) I’m afraid thats becuase your on WM2005 and I have not found a solution for this yet
2)You havnt read the instructions and copied the images to a new folder
( application datahomechrome aqua )
3) You havnt downloaded and installed the plugin RJShortcuts.

I’ve just downloaded this great looking homescreen and copied it to my cingular 2125, but it doesn’t seem to work. Once I change the home screen setting to this screen, I get an error for my home screen saying it couldn’t load it, and that I should try a different one.
“The layout you have selected cannot be loaded. Please select a different layout using the Home Screen item in Settings.”
any suggestions?
May 2, 2006 @ 1:59 amGai-jin said:
W411y,
Figured it out. In your WM5 version, for some reason your background image points to a file Chrome Aqua Kris, instead of Chrome Aqua Background.
Fixed it, now it’s working.
May 2, 2006 @ 5:15 amw411y said:
Thats strange :S I made a version for a guy called Kris but its wierd that its that one in the download. I’ll sort it out now thanks for pointing that out
May 2, 2006 @ 2:52 pmandy said:
Wonderful screen, quite awesome. Is there any way of putting a text description on the program icons? I’m new to this and some of the icons are quite meaningless.
May 22, 2006 @ 3:11 pmhonorable said:
I recently downloaded your homescreen and the neccessary plugins to my Motorolla mpx 220 smartphone( im runing windows mobile 2003). i selected the chrome aqua home screen in the home screen menu, my home screen changes but the lines and icon appear to be overlappin and the clock is not aligned with its background. and its just jacked up. Any solutions?
May 28, 2006 @ 8:18 pmw411y said:
The skins on this site are designed for QVGA devices. Sadly the screen on your device is not 240x320
May 28, 2006 @ 11:30 pmLuCiDiTy said:
Very very cool! Any way you could make a version for me? (little selfish I know) but I really like having battery, signal and Ram meters showing. Can you do that in place of say the ’smar explorer’ shortcut area? I would really appreciate it!!

I just downloaded this to try with the T-mobile SDA. However, RJTime and RJShortcut downloads now seem to be unavailable. Also, I am running from a Mac so I really need access to the .CAB files since I can’t run the .exe’s. Any suggestions. Also, do you know whether it runs on a SDA?
Thanks

I really like this screen! Anyway I can get it without facade? Really don’t want to dish out cash if i don’t have to. Anyway to get in with Hitman Screen colors instead of blue and gray?
Thanks!

Hello. It is possible under program links have also active links generated from last used? Like for example in “MSN Default” home screen layout. There is first shortcut line what i mean. Or Facade plugin also uses some of this feature and its better maybye…

I love the screen but does it work on on QVGA phones?

sorry last comment meant non qvga phones..

I cant get “ChromeAqua” to work. I’ve installed the plugins you linked to and facade 1.0. I’ve noticed from that their latest version is 1.4 or something.
Anyhow, i cant find the “ChromeAqua” in the “theme” selection for “today”. I got a HTC TyNT with WM5.
Any ideas?
