I No Longer Can 'See' My Background Tsk Images..?

06-28-07, 11:55 AM

I had some overall major problems, so I did a restore from a backup from a week prior.
After that, all of the .tsk background images, mostly from Juni, that I had installed to the My Document folder on my handheld, and in the past would show up picked, no longer work. What I get is this: Settings > Personal > Today > ROM Image Only. These background image tsk files were mostly part of folders made with Wisbar, PocketBreeze, and Today components in them. Thus, If you pick one of the Juni background images, the default ROM image will appear, not the Juni. The 3 tsk images that came with the handheld, in ROM, do work, if picked.
I tried to install new different Juni tsk images and they do work and show up.
I tried to reinstall a fresh copy of the image files that don’t work but they still don't appear. I also tried to change the file name, but they still do not function, and a default image appears. Any ideas on what happened and why these images won't appear? Any suggestions for repair?

Thank you!

You know, it's interesting to me that you mentioned that. Prior to a recent complete reinstallation of everything, none of Juni's SWDeluxeVGA tsks ever worked for me. If I selected one of them only the default Microsoft or Dell one on my X51v worked. At the time it wasn't a particularly big deal for me since I use Wisbar/Wisbar desktop. However, after my complete rebuild, the same TSKs now work. However, in my case, the TSKs always appeared, just didn't work.
How did you extract the TSKs from the zip? Did you unzip them and copy them via activesync to your device or did you copy the zip and then use something like Resco Explorer to unzip them on the device?

I had that problem once with Juni's tsk files. The problem was, if I recall correctly, that I was using the "extended" versions but did not have Pocket Plus. I replaced them with the "non-extended" versions. (Or maybe I have that backwards, extended vs. non-extended)

Buckyg, you may have something there:

From the InstructionsVGA.txt:

Quote:

Installing the today theme(s)

(1) Open up the "TodayThemes" directory (on your computer, where you extracted the zip file)

(2) Copy whichever of the themes to the \my documents folder on your device

(hint: These can be copied to the "My Documents" folder inside the Ipaq File Store if you have
a hx4700 device)

(3) Select the today theme you want in the "today settings" on your device. (start menu -> settings
and "today")

Note: These todaythemes are extended for Spb Pocket Plus 2 (the PocketPlus icons are built into the
themes). They support landscape mode (which all VGA devices have).

Installing the non extended today themes (these don't have Spb Pocket Plus meters)

The themes are inside the NonExtendedThemes folder, copy any of the themes you want to use
to the \my documents folder on your device. Use these themes if you don't use Spb Pocket
Plus.

You are correct about needing Spb Plus to use the extended versions of Juni's tsk files.
I spoke with Juni about this problem.
I know that I mentioned his name in my original post, but some of my tsk files come from Bump the Graphics files also.
None of the files worked, not just Juni's files.
I hope someone who reads this post has an answer for me!

make sure tsk files are in a my document folder as is, not in a sub folder
