Has anyone else tried to use a Image for the More list? I set it to the required Pixel size, but on the phone it has a white gap in the list like i made it too small? is there some kind of bug? thanks

have you tested the theme on the phone?

yes, in the preview screen in theme creator it shows ok, but on the phone is when you see the gap. I tried setting the "background color" for the more list to a similar color and it made it much less noticeable, but never the less.

could it be due to the use of a .png file? Using Photoshop, i set all my images to PNG-24 to handle transparencies, and have been saving everything that way out of habit...

Edit: I tried this, no change, however my theme size went from 304kb to 75kb! Definitely good! oh well, i may just have to publish it as it is...

Is your phone branded by operator?

This question because I have some problems too in the interpretation of activity menu with my branded phones, but it works fine with unbranded ones.

no, it is unbranded, unlocked...

It's almost like just some menus are slightly larger than they should be, in smaller menus it does not get the line. it happens in menus with 6 options like if your highli9ghted on a picture, and hit more. i was just wondering if it was a common problem, but i don't know how many people are running background images in these pop-up menus, and more lists...

I tried updating to the latest version of theme maker, i had 3.07, now 3.10... nothing changed, then i read the theme creator manual, and it said the px were supposed to be 212X192, the program is saying 212X193. I tried both ways with no results. then i tried making it 212X212, and the more list just resizes it and brings the side in, so you have the gap on the left side, and the top. in the manual it says the k800 positions this image bottom, right.

so i'm thinking the image isn't going to fill the upper gap no matter what i do. maybe the new firmware will fix this, or maybe my already new firmware screwed it up from previous versions...

thanks for the help... if anyone knows how to fix, still love to hear!

I've found in the past that the size may be right but the location of the
image is not, e.g. your image isn't the full 212x193 and has transparency
around it. If I moved the image around I could get it to cover the white
portion.
I only ever saw this in theme creator's previews though, never on the
phone itself.
Mine's running R1JC002 and unbranded.

it's definitely the full size. i wonder though if it is supposed to be 193x212, and I have it backwards, and for some reason SE screwed up and wrote it backwards...

nope, definately 212w x 193h !!

tell you what - post a link to your theme that's causing
the problem and i (we) can take a look at it on some
other phones/firmwares ??

There it is, It's based on Windows Mobile. While your testing it for the "More list" Background problem, let me know what you think of the theme itself

Thank YOU!!
