New, much improved, version of Homescreen Designer for Microsoft Smartphone released
January 31, 2005 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R.

Since home screen is the default way of displaying information in Microsoft Smartphone - and it shows up where no program runs or when program times out, it is important to have it well designed to accomodate all your needs. The new Homescreen Designer from RuttenSoft is simply great:



New Features:
  • Smartphone 2002-Support (Tested with SPV Classic)
  • Fizz Traveller Plugin
  • Oxios Task Plugin
  • Slideshow Plugin
  • Volume/Questionbox/Informationbox etc-Screen support
  • Direct link to upload/download-Forum
  • Homescreen Designer makes automatically a screenshot of your
  • homescreen and creates the necessary entrys for the Forum! The only thing you have to do is adding the files as attachement
  • Coordinate for better aligning
  • Option to save as xml file for editing
  • Prompting to save work on exiting
  • Possibility to import colors from a existing Homescreen! (XML, HME and CAB-Files!!!)
  • New visual enhancements
  • If you activate a plugin, it will automatically search for a free place at the homescreen. If there is not enough space it will automatically downsize itself to fit the space. If then it has still not enough space, it will notice you that there is not enough room for it...
  • Branding on SIM-Screen and Call Dial/Call Progress can be changed!
  • Move your plugins with the mouse-wheel
  • Backcolor of Startmenu can now be in 4 colors (2-pixel-lines)
  • Install cab/hme-Homescreens (and other cab-files) from your desktop-PC with one click!
  • 4 different themes for Application itself (+ Standard XP and Classic)
  • German translation / Deutsche Sprache! (More to come!)
  • Files are now saved in a subfolder of \Application Data\Home\ for better overview...
  • Extract HME or CAB-Files automatically!
Bugfixes:
  • Bug not showing all day bold if selected has been fixed
  • Color is changing although clicking on cancel has been fixed
  • Bug Solved: If 2 Plugins are aside of each other and one is bigger than the other, then it was possible that the aligning was not correct...
  • Some minor bugfixes...
