Firstly, id like to say that ive had my exec for a little over a week now and think that it is awesome. Think my girlfriend is going to dis-own me :?

Searched the net for info on this problems with no luc for hours. Plus tried all the usual (Install, Uninstall, Reset, Hard Reset, Hammer!!! :wink: )

SPB Pocket Plus Problems I Had: -

Indicators do not change on theme change. (Grrr!)
Cycle theme button not working properly.
Cycle theme then change theme in today and crashes.

:roll: SPBsoftwarehouse are now aware of these problems and are attempting to make a fix. Frustrating as forked the cash out thinking i was getting a nice WM5.0 app that would not have these kind of blatent bugs. :x

The reply i got from SPB is as follows: -


Dear Thor,

There are some challenges with themes on WM5 devices.
When you choose theme through today setting indicators doesn't change.
And if you change theme using theme loop button, taskbar and command
bar doesn't changes. We are working on this. Now you can't first choose
theme through theme loop. Then switch to some other and back using theme
settings. We will try to find how to fix this in following releases.

I have found a way to manually change the indicator icons by looking in the \windows directory where i placed the extended themes, then copy all file with a prefix of pls_ to \Program Files\PocketPlus\default. Then remove vga_pls... files from here. Then add vga_ to the beginning of the pls_ files you just copied in eg pls_backlight.gif to vga_pls_backlight.gif.
After resetting, you will now see the new indicators appear.... wooohoo.

If anyone has found a better way, please let us know...

Peace and out, Thor... :twisted:
