POCKET facelift V1.7
FAQ
1. Screen is showing hatched pattern after some time
This is not a bug, this is just a limitation of the trial version (appears after ap. 30 min.). The full version will always show the theme. You can restart facelift to show the background again.
2. Why does calendar+ and other plugins have a white background?
The problem is, that these plugins are designed for a white background as in PocketPC2000s normal Today-Screen. So they draw their own background. To get a compatible version of calendar+ visit our download site.
3. Can themes be changed automatically?
Yes, they can. Please check out RPA's Theme Master.
4. How can I create my own button set?
Just download the NOVOSEC demo button set and modify it on your desktop PC.
It is a standard "ZIP" file which can be modified by using any ZIP compatible program.
You can modify all of the included buttons by any paint program (e.g. "Paint").

After you have modified the button set you have to create a new zip file, rename it to "mybuttonset.btn" and copy it to your Pocket PC (to "My Documents" or any sub folder).
5. How can I create my own icon set?
Just download the NOVOSEC demo icon set and modify it on your desktop PC.
It is a standard "ZIP" file which can be modified by using any ZIP compatible program.
You can modify all of the included icons by any icon editor.

If you want to add icons for non standard programs you have to modify the included "mapping.txt" file. The format is very simple.

Each line describes one mapping entry.
At the beginning of every entry you have to write the icon's filename which has to be included in the zip file (e.g. "test.ico"). You can use one icon file for multiple mapping entries (e.g. contacts and owner info). An example for the mapping of internal and settings icons is given in the demo mapping.txt file.

A ":" is used as separator.

After the separator you have to specify the full path of the programs executable (e.g. "windows\test.exe"). In order to distinguish between different icons for one executable (depending on the command line parameters) the command line parameters can be added at the end of the mapping entry. A special resolve algorithm ensures that not mapped command line parameters will be cut off.

After you have modified the icon set you have to create a new zip file, rename it to "myiconset.skn" and copy it to your Pocket PC (to "My Documents" or any sub folder).
